The British are known to
be great sports-lovers,
so when they are neither
playing, nor watching
games, they like to talk
about them. Many of the
games we play now
have come from Britain.
One of the most British games is cricket. It
is often played in schools, colleges,
universities and by club teams all over the
country. Summer isn't summer without
cricket. To many Englishmen cricket is
both a game and a standard of be haviour.
When they consider anything unfair, they
sometimes say: "That isn't cricket."

crowds of people support their
favourite sides in football
grounds.

in England, and in the whole
world, is Royal Ascot. At these
annual competitions, which take
place near Windsor, in the town

1711, and Elizabeth II is such a
big fan of this sport that after the

winter sports in England. Of course the English weather is not always

hunting and fishing. Indeed, sport in one form or another is an
essential part of daily life in Britain.
