I’m a writer. I write books about history. I’ve come to Britain to visit some famous historic places and I will certainly visit the famous football match which is going to take place here. I can’t miss it. You know I’m a football fan and enjoy watching football though I don’t go in for sport myself. 2. I’m not a great athlete, but I do some sports. I often play volleyball or basketball, sometimes football too. In winter I practically never go in for sports outdoors. I can’t stand cold. So no cross country skiing or ice hockey for me. I prefer games played in a gym. 3. I like cross country skiing very much. This sport has lately become very popular. I think it is not so difficult as downhill skiing. But to tell you the truth, I’m not very good at my favourite sport. I usually ski rather slowly, I often watch birds and admire trees in the snow. 4. I really like sports. I think going in for any sport is very important for people. The more active people are, the healthier they become. Take my cousin Steve, who is a footballer, for example. He does several summer sports, in winter he plays hockey. And he is in very good form. 5. I like sports and I try to read about them to get more information. I’m very much interested in the history of skiing. Some books say that probably people in Sweden invented it. But those who lived in Norway first used skis for sport in 1843. And the first downhill race was in Switzerland in 1911.
