What an exciting match

Диалоги на английском языке с переводом. №100. Тема: Диалог о футболе.

Who was the best player you ever saw?
During my career there have been many great players, like Johan Cruyff and Diego Maradona. It’s very difficult to say who was the best but there’s one player who stands out for me, not just for being a great footballer but also for being a great human being and that was the Brazilian international Mauro Silva, who used to play in here in Spain, for Deportivo La Corona.

What was the worst experience you ever had as a referee?
The worst? Well, that was something that happened very early in my career. I was only 16 and I was refereeing a match in a town in Spain and the home team lost. After the match, I was attacked and injured by the players of the home team and by the spectators. After all these years I can still remember a mother, who had a little baby in her arms, who was trying to hit me. She was so angry with me that she nearly dropped her baby. That was my worst moment, and it nearly made me stop being a referee.

Do you think that there’s more cheating in football than in the past?
Yes, I think so.

Why?
I think it’s because there’s so much money in football today that it has become much more important to win. Also football is much faster than it used to be so it’s more difficult for referees to detect cheating.

How do footballers cheat?
Uh, there are many ways, but for me the worst thing in football today is what we call ‘simulation’. Simulation is when players pretend to have been fouled when they haven’t been. For example, sometimes a player falls over in the penalty area when, in fact, nobody has touched him and this can result in the referee giving a penalty when it wasn’t a penalty. In my opinion, when a player does this he’s cheating not only the referee, not only the players of the other team, but also the spectators, because spectators pay money to see a fair contest.

Кто был лучшим игроком, которого вы когда-либо видели?
В моей карьере было много великих игроков, таких как Йохан Кройфф, Диего Марадона. Очень трудно сказать, кто был лучшим, но есть один игрок, который выделяется для меня, не только как великий футболист, но и как великий человек, и это был бразилец Мауро Сильва, который играл здесь, в Испании, за «Депортиво Ла Корона».

Что было худшим опытом, который вы когда-либо имели в качестве судьи?
Худшее? Ну, это случилось в самом начале моей карьеры. Мне было всего 16 лет, и я судил матч в городе в Испании, и хозяева поля проиграли. После матча на меня напали и травмировали игроки хозяев поля и зрители. После всех этих лет я все еще помню мать, с маленьким ребенком на руках, которая пыталась ударить меня. Она была так зла на меня, что чуть не уронила ребенка. Это был мой худший момент, и это почти заставило меня перестать быть судьей.

Как вы думаете, в футболе стало больше обмана, чем в прошлом?
Да, я так думаю.

Почему?
Я думаю, потому, что сегодня в футболе столько денег, что выиграть стало намного важнее. Кроме того, футбол стал намного быстрее, чем раньше, поэтому судьям труднее обнаружить обман.

An exciting competition or sporting event

Describe an exciting competition or sporting event you have witnessed.

[You will have to talk about the topic for 1 to 2 minutes. You have one minute to think about what you’re going to say. You can make some notes to help you if you wish.]

Participating in sports is one of the best ways to keep fit both physically and mentally. The necessity of sports is immense in human life. It energises people who participate in the events and the pleasures are inexpressible. It also helps to achieve a specific skill and that is also usable in everyday life. There are different types of sporting events are also organised and the key purpose of the events are to create a friendly atmosphere among the players, increasing their intentions to participate more and inspire them to gain skills, expertise and perfectness on their respective sports. Usually, the corporate bodies are responsible for sponsoring the events in exchange for their advertisements.

Basketball is one of the exciting sports and I love participating in the matches arranged in our college. A few months back, I was the witness of an exciting indoor basketball competition. The event was organised by the colleges of our city. Unfortunately, I could not participate in the match for my injury that I got right before the competition day while I was in practice.

The inter-college basketball competition was held in the indoor sports court of our college premise. The final competition held on the evening of the pre-scheduled day. Almost all the students of the city attended to enjoy the competition. The earlier matches were too exciting that they could not resist in joining on the final competition. Our indoor sporting gallery was filled with the audience on the competition day and they started gathering from the morning so that they could have their seats before someone else grab those.

The battle was highly attractive. Our team has scored 25 while the opponent had only 17 in their bag. Our college team won the match with a huge difference, and it happened mostly for the outstanding practice of the players, their mutual understanding and overall the united efforts to bag the prize.

The competition was too much excitement for me as I was one of the members of the team, and I forgot all my sorrows of my absence on the ground for my injury on the right leg which I got during attempting a jump to throw the ball on the net. It was the victory for us all who were involved with the playing team.

Alternative Answer 2:
A very exciting competition that I can remember is a cricket match I watched a few years back. It was a one-day cricket match between two mighty cricket teams – India and Australia. The match took place at Melbourne Cricket Ground and I watched the whole game and enjoyed the competition a lot.

It was around 9:30 am, local time, when the match began and there were lots of fans and supporters of both teams who came there to enjoy the match and to support their favourite team. It was my first time in the Melbourne Cricket stadium where I went with one of my friends and his wife.

The tight competition, my support for my team and wish to win the game, the supporters’ boundless shouting, enthusiasm, the lively stadium and cheering made the game a very memorable one for me and this game was one of the most competitive cricket matches till the last moment.

A. I believe that if a man is made understood anything in the right manner, force is unnecessary to be applied on the case.

Чтение. ЕГЭ по английскому

Установите соответствие между заголовками 1 — 8 и текстами A — G. Используйте каждую цифру только один раз. В задании один заголовок лишний.

1. From the history of the game
2. The first tennis competitions
3. The rules of table tennis
4. Similar yet different
5. Countries good at table tennis
6. Table tennis equipment
7. Why watch tennis
8. Both for men and women

A. Table tennis is a ball game similar in principle to lawn tennis. It’s played on a flat table divided into two equal courts by a net fixed across its width at the middle. The task is to hit the ball so that it goes over the net and bounces on the opponent’s half of the table in such a way that the opponent cannot reach it or return it correctly. The lightweight hollow ball is propelled back and forth across the net by small rackets. The game is popular all over the world, among people of different age.

B. Table tennis is a relatively young sport. In fact, it was invented in England in the early days of the 20th century and was originally called Ping-Pong. The name “table tennis” was adopted in 1921 or 1922 when the old Ping-Pong Association formed in 1902 was revived. Led by representatives of Germany, Hungary, and England, the International Table Tennis Federation was founded in 1926. By the mid-1990s more than 165 national associations were the members of this association.

C. Table tennis is really a sport for everyone. You don’t need to spend much money or buy many things to play table tennis. The table is rectangular, 9 feet by 5 feet, its upper surface a level plane 30 inches above the floor. The net is 6 feet long, and its upper edge along the whole length is 6 inches above the playing surface. The ball, which is spherical and hollow, was once made of white celluloid. Since 1969 a plastic similar to celluloid has been used. The racket may be any size, weight, or shape.

D. It’s easy to understand how tennis is played. A tennis match consists of the best of any odd numbers of games, each game being won by the player who first reaches 11 points or who, after 10 points each, wins two clear points ahead. A point is scored when the server fails to make a good service, when either player fails to make a good return, or when either player commits a specified infraction. Service changes hands after every two points until 10-all is reached, when it changes after every subsequent point.

E. Table tennis may be played with one player at each end of the table or with two players at each end who may be both men or both women or one of each. Worldwide, the women’s game is comparable in organization to the men’s, and women take part in world championships and all other organized events. The first female tournament took place in 1909, but women are known to have been playing tennis since 1874, which is obvious from old pictures and photos which survived the test of time.

F. The first world championships were held in London in 1927, and from then until 1939 the game was dominated by players from central Europe, the men’s team event being won nine times by Hungary and twice by Czechoslovakia. In the mid-1950s Asia emerged as a breeding ground of champions, and from that time the men’s team event has been won by either Japan or China, as has the women’s event, though to a lesser extent; North Korea also became an international force.

G. People eagerly come to the stadiums to see a game of tennis live or switch on their TVs when an exciting match is on. The interest to the spectator lies in observing the ability of one player to defeat another by some well-thought-out strategy. Increasing the speed of the game, slowing it down, varying the direction of or imparting different spin or pace to the ball are just some of the tactics that may be used to support the strategy planned by a sportsman. Thus, a game of tennis can be a real show.
