Football
The idea of two teams pushing backwards or forwards to each other began in ancient Egypt 
as a ceremony celebrating good harvests. The Roman army of Julius Caesar brought it to 
Britain, where people quickly began to play it. Today’s association football, or soccer, 
comes directly from “association”, which students called “Assoc”. 
The first description of English football appeared in 1775 in London. Rules of those days 
were not as strict as they are today, and games frequently ended in fights with broken arms 
and legs and even deaths. The number of players could exceed 500 and a game could last a 
day.
The birth of modern football took place in London in October 1863 when the football 
Association was formed, and in the following few years most of the rules as we know them 
were adopted. Today, big football games in London are played at Wembley Stadium, few 
miles from the centre of London.

We are all slowly destroying the earth. The seas and rivers are too dirty to swim in. 
There is so much smoke in the air that it is unhealthy to live in many of the world's cities. In 
one well-known city, for example, poisonous gases from cars pollute the air so much that 
traffic policemen have to wear oxygen masks.
We have cut down so many trees that there are now vast areas of wasteland all over the 
world. As a result, farmers in parts of Africa cannot grow enough to eat. In certain countries 
in Asia there is too little rice. Moreover, we do not take enough care of the countryside. 
Wild animals are quickly disappearing. For instance, tigers are rare in India now because 
we have killed too many for them to survive. However, it isn't enough simply to talk about
