All over the world people enjoy sports. Sports help to keep people healthy, happy and help them
to live longer.
Sports change with the season. People play different games in winter and summer.
Games and sports often grow out of people's work and everyday activities. The Arabs use horses
or camels in much of their everyday life; they use them in their sports, too.
Some sports are so interesting that people everywhere go in for them. Football, for example, has
spread around the world. Swimming is popular in all countries near the sea or in those with many
rivers.
Some sports or games go back to thousands of years ago, like running or jumping. Chinese boxing,
for example, has a very long history. But basketball and volleyball are rather new. Neither one is a
hundred years old yet. People are inventing new sports or games all the time.
People from different countries may not be able to understand each other, but after a game they often become good friends. Sports help to train a person's character. One learns to fight hard but
fight fair, to win without pride and to lose with grace.

Many people who work in London prefer to live outside it, and to go in to their offices or schools
every day by train, car or bus, even though this means they have to get up early in the morning
and reach home late in the evening.
One advantage of living outside London is that houses are cheaper. Even a small flat in London
without a garden costs quite a lot to rent. With the same money, one can get a little house in the
country with a garden of one's own.
