The English love sports. One of the popular games in England is cricket (板球). But cricket doesn’t change(改变) much these years. For some parts of England, the eight months of the football season is more important than the four months of the cricket season.

While school girls play tennis or baseball in summer and basketball or hockey (曲棍球) in winter ,boys seldom play basketball. The more popular grown-up (成人的) games are golf and tennis. A lot of people play them.
The British also like watching horse racing, but few show interest in bike racing. Britain is the home of many modern (现代的) popular sports.
