The most popular sport in Britain is football. Every large city
has its own professional football team. Rugby is a fast, rough sport that is
also very popular in Britain. The English play both rugby and football in the
winter. In the summer they enjoy playing cricket.

their free time. Popular indoor activities include collecting things such as

for many British people are going to the cinema, theatre or a restaurant or
watching TV or playing computer games.

he was a child, and the family didn’t have much money. Charlie first appeared
on the stage at the age of five. Later on he went to the USA where he acted in
35 of Hollywood’s early films. These were “silent films”—before the invention
of cinema sound the actors could not speak, but acted out their feelings and
emotions in their faces and movements. Charlie Chaplin became one of the most
famous actors in the world, and everyone knew and loved him and his role: a man
with a black hat, big shoes and unusual walk.

Most tourists who come to
London want to see the Globe Theatre. It is one of the main landmarks in the
British capital. The theatre has always been linked with William Shakespeare.
His plays have been staged there for several centuries.
Historians
say that the theatre was built in 1599. It was a large, round, open air
theatre. In those days special coloured flags were used to advertise the type
of play to be performed. A red flag was put up for a history play, a white flag
for a comedy, and a black flag for a tragedy.
The
theatre worked for 14 years before it was destroyed by fire. Then it was
rebuilt, destroyed, and reconstructed again. The theatre has changed several
names and now it is called Shakespeare’s Globe.

Ballet is a performance in which dancing and music tell a story without any speaking. But, in my opinion, ballet is very much like a sport. It certainly can tell a story. It can also express a mood. But it is a very controlled form of dancing, with complicated movements that need great skill and a lot of training. This kind of dancing must look effortless and graceful. A lot of movements that ballet dancers make are unnatural for a human body. Ballet dancers achieve the necessary result after many years of hard training, and the steps to it are so difficult! Even experienced dancers must constantly practise or they may lose their skill.

From the late 1920s until the 1950s, movies were the most
popular of all American entertainments. The new film industry, centered around
Hollywood, California, gave work to thousands of people. In towns and cities
across the country movie palaces appeared. For many years movies used to be a
major form of entertainment in America but their popularity began to fall in
the 1950s. When television came practically to every house, people preferred to
stay at home. There seemed to be less reason to go out when they could have
entertainment in their own living rooms. By 1980, only one American out of ten
went to movies in a given week. At the same time, however, millions of viewers
see movies on television or watch videos.

film, but to direct it as well. "Braveheart's" success established
Gibson permanently in Hollywood.

Every four years, thousands of disabled
athletes from over 150 countries take part in the Paralympic Games. The
Paralympic Games are a multi-sport event for athletes with physical, mental and
sensory disabilities. Games include wheelchair tennis, basketball and rugby, as
well as judo for athletes who cannot see well. The origin of the Paralympic
Games is more recent than that of the Olympic Games. It all began in England in
1948, when a man named Sir Ludwig Guttmann came up with the idea of organizing
a sports competition for World War II veterans with spinal cord injuries. Years
later, in 1960, Rome hosted the first Paralympic-style games for disabled
athletes from around the world. Today, the Paralympics are held after the
Olympic Games in the same host city. The purpose of the games is to empower and
inspire athletes with disabilities.

On April 23, 1564 William Shakespeare was born in Stratford - upon
- Avon. His mother was the daughter of a farmer. His father was a glove -
maker. William attended a grammar school in Stratford and had quite a good education.
There he learned to love reading.
While he was a teenager, he married a woman some years older than
himself. He had three children: the eldest is the daughter and then twins – a
son and another girl. In 1587 William went to work in London leaving his family
at home. Some people say that the reason was his love of poetry and theatre.
In London Shakespeare began to write plays and become an important
member of a well - known acting company. Most of his plays were performed in
the new Globe Theatre built on the bank of the river Thames. In 1613 he stopped
writing and went to live in Stratford when he died in 1616. His plays are well
