SPORT
I. Starting Points
Do you go in for sports? If so, what kind of sport is closer to you? Are you an amateur or a professional?
Do you follow any sports events (watch them on TV, online, go to stadiums, etc.)? How actively were you following Euro 2012 in Kiev? Discuss the results of the football championship, your impressions of the matches, the behavior of the fans, etc.
The names of which world-known sportsmen/sportswomen are familiar to you? Experts say that sportsmen are becoming more popular than singers or movie stars? Do you agree?
Check the initial level of your topical vocabulary: write the word SPORT vertically and think of as many topic-related words on each letter as you can.
E.g. Soccer, _______________________________________________________
Play, _________________________________________________________
Olympiad, _____________________________________________________
Rugby, _______________________________________________________
Tennis, _______________________________________________________
