Listening
Task 1: Sports in the U.S.
Sports are very important in the U.S. both for spectators1 and participants. Many people have jobs where they sit for most of the day, so when they have free time, they like to take part in more physical activities. Both team sports and individual activities are popular. Youth sports are played either in local clubs or for teams representing schools. Most major league sports recruit2 their players from college or high school teams. Specter sports are also a major part of American culture. Many Americans watch sports weekly, if not daily. Thousands of people attend professional and college sporting events to cheer on their local teams. Millions more choose to watch on TV and root from their own living rooms. On TV, American football, baseball and basketball are the most popular sports. Soccer has a long way to go before it is on the same level with the “big three”. Although there is some overlapping3, football is played in the fall, basketball in the winter and baseball in the spring and summer. American professional teams are privately4 owned and generally situated5 in major cities, so they have a large fan base to draw from. There’s no government involvement in these leagues.
