From the History of Basketball
Basketball
Basketball as a game appeared at the
end of the 19th century.
It was introduced by one college coach
during the winter of 1891—1892.
He wanted to train his students
between the end of the footbal season
and the beginning of the basebal
season.
He placed baskets on the walls at
the opposite ends of the gymnasium
and organized ninemen teams who
played with a ball.
Each team tried to throw the ball into
the other team’s basket and at the
same time tried to keep that team from
throwing the ball into their basket.
The students had a lot of exercise,
they moved a lot about the
gymnasium, jumped and ran.
They liked the game and called it bas
The Olympic Games
The tradition of the Olympic Games
runs back to ancient Greece.
We know that the first Olympic Games
took place in the town of Olympia
more than 2700 years ago.
There was no war in the country
for these five days when sports
competition took place.
It was a great athletic festival of wres
tling, footracing, discus throwing and
others.
The Games were organized and held
up to the year of 393.
Then, for more than 1700 years
nothing more was heard of the
Olympiads.
The first modern Olympic Games
were held in Athens in 1896.

Спорт у нашому житті
People all over the world are fond of
sports and games.
Sport makes people healthy, keeps
them fit, more organized and better
disciplined.
Some people go in for sports for their
health and some for professional
aims.
There are a lot of stadiums, sports
grounds, swimming pools, football

Practically all kinds of sports are popu

skating and tennis enjoy the greatest
popularity.
Physical Training and Sports In Ukraine
In Ukraine
Such kinds of sports as swimming,
running, equestrian sport, wrestling
and others date back to ancient times
in Ukraine.
The system of military and physical
training of Cossacks in Zaporizhia was
built on the basis of national games
and physical exercises.
First sports organizations were
founded in the second half of the 19th
century.
They were not numerous, among
them there were aristocratic yachting
clubs and also some tennis clubs.
The first of them opened in Kyiv in
1869 and in Odesa in 1895.
At the beginning of the 20th century
the first athletic clubs appeared.
The first one was founded as a part of
a medical centre.
My Last Trip
Last time I went on a walking tour was
last summer.
My friends and I decided to go and
find some picturesque place on the
bank of the Siversky Donets.
You know there is a fine pinewood on
its banks.
So we took all necessary things for
sleeping and cooking meals with us.
We chose a route of our journey and
planned our trip.
Our rucksacks were rather heavy, but
this fact didn’t spoil our journey.
Travelling Подорожі
Подорожі
There are moments in every person’s
life when he wants to travel.
Everyone understands travelling in his
own way.
Some people consider trips to new
towns and countries offered by
different tourist firms to be the best
way to travel.
These package tours are for the
laziest.
The others prefer walking tours and
tourism.
There is nothing more beautiful for
them than walking in some pinewood,
My Winter Holidays
Winter holidays are shorter than
summer ones.
They begin at the end of December
and last about two weeks.
It is so nice to have a rest from school.
Мої зимові канікули
Зимові канікули коротші за літні.
Вони починаються наприкінці груд
ня і тривають біля двох тижнів.
Відпочити від школи — це так пре
красно.
My Summer Holidays
In summer schoolchildren do not go
to school.
They have summer holidays which are
three months long.
Children don’t have to get up early.
There is no homework to do or
lessons to learn.
That’s why they like holidays.
I never stay in bed long in a bright
summer morning.
Sometimes my friends and I go to the
cinema or to a concert.
Halloween
On October 31, Halloween (the
evening before All Saints), American
children dress up in funny or
scary costumes and go “trick or
treating”: knocking at doors in their
neighbourhood.
The neighbours are expected to re
spond by giving them small gifts of
candies or money.
Adults may also dress in costumes for
Halloween parties.
People usually put pumpkins on the
windowsills.
They cut nose, eyes and mouth on the
pumpkin and put the candles into them.
Хеллоуїн
31 жовтня на Хеллоуїн (вечір перед
святом усіх святих) американські
діти одягають забавне вбрання і кос
тюми, що лякають, і йдуть жартува
ти: стукають у двері своїм сусідам.
Сусіди відповідають тим, що дають
їм маленькі подарунки у вигляді цу
керок і грошей.
Дорослі можуть теж одягти костю
ми для вечірок на Хеллоуїн.
Люди звичайно ставлять гарбузи на
підвіконня.
Вони вирізують ніс, очі і рот у гарбу
зі і ставлять у них свічі.
StValentine’sDay
St Valentine’s Day comes on
February 14.
It is not a legal or a national holiday.
Banks and offices are not closed, but
it is a happy little festival for young
people.
It is widely celebrated among
people of all ages by exchange of
“valentines”.
A “valentine” may mean a special
greetingcard or a little present.
It may be for the person who receives
the gift.
St Valentine is the patron of sweet
hearts.
February 14 is the anniversary of his
death.
The day is the time to send little gifts
to those you love.
