Sport is very popular in England. In other words lots of English people like the idea of sport A lot watch sport on TV. On the whole English people prefer to be fat rather than thin.
Football is played on Saturday afternoon in most towns and the supporters (支持者) of a certain team will travel from one end of the country to the other to see their teams play. There are four divisions(级别)of the football league. Not surprisingly the best teams are in the first division. You have to be a good supporter to watch the fourth division football!
Many other sports are also played in England, such as golf, in which you try to knock a ball into a hole; basketball, in which you try to get a ball through a net; tennis, in which you try to hit a ball so that your opponent(对手) can not hit it.
Actually(其实), that is not quite true. Athletics(田径) isn't played with a ball; nor horseracing ( 赛马 ).
