James: What`s your favourite sport, Alan?
Alan: I prefer soccer, of course, but like most of us, I have become a
viewer rather than a participant. I watch a soccer match nearly every
Saturday afternoon, both on the local stadium or on TV. And what about
you? Do you play football?
James: I`m afraid not. You know it is our most popular game, but I
have never liked it, not even at school. And do you watch the Cup Final
and the big international matches?
Alan: Yes, of course. But my favourite game is cricket. I still play at our local club.
James: It`s a traditional English sport game, isn`t it?
Alan: Yes, it is. To you watch test matches? They are usually very exciting.
James: Yes, I watch them on TV like everyone else. I should say all sports events are widely reported now.
Alan: Yes, sport has become a world-wide activity.
