The most popular spectator sport is football. Football is played ... a Sunday afternoon ... most British towns and the fans, or supporters ... a particular team will travel ... one end ... the country ... the other to see their team play.
Many other sports are also played ... Britain, including golf ... which you try to knock a ball ... a hole; croquet ... which you try to knock a ball ... some hoops; basketball ... which you try to get a ball ... a net; tennis ... which you try to hit a ball so that your opponent cannot hit it and cricket which is played ... a ball, but is otherwise incomprehensible. As you can see, if the ball had not been invented, there would have been no sport.

Ex.5. Read the following text and comment on it:
Hang Gliding. The Sport of the 1980s
Hang gliding, like windsurfing, comes from America. The person who thought of this sport, Francis Rogallo, got the idea when he was watching space capsules falling towards the sea. The capsules had a sort of wing which helped them to go more slowly until they reached the sea.
But this idea isn't as new as you might think: in the fifteenth century, Leonardo da Vinchi drew pictures of a hang glider; it was a sort of kite which could carry a person.
The modern hang glider can go with the wind or against it, and the pilot can change direction by moving the control bar. Hang gliders rise and fall with the movements in the air—near hills, for example, they usually go up. All over the world, these giant butterflies are becoming more and more popular, as people discover the fun of flying.
