WHY DO WE WATCH SPORTS?
1 ___
I think people love spectacles. We go to see plays, concerts, films and all kinds of performances. Sport is especially
attractive to us because it involves competition and we enjoy watching our favourites win a gold medal. In my opinion,
we are competitive by nature and that’s why so many people are interested in doing or watching sports. Sports
organisations understand this need for entertainment and have turned sporting events into big business.
2 ___
I’m really into sports, especially athletics, so of course, I always look forward to watching the Olympic Games every
four years. I think that watching sports can give us a lot of positive energy and make us optimistic about life. It’s very
moving when you watch professional sportspeople do their best during the competitions and you share with them the
joy of victory and the tears of failure.
3 ___
I occasionally watch sports on TV just like I might go to see a good film at the cinema or read a good book. For me, it’s
just a form of entertainment. What I can’t understand about watching sports, though, is that it becomes an obsession
for some people and it is the only thing they can really talk about. They can’t just enjoy sports without going crazy
about them.
4 ___
I’ve been a great fan of football ever since I can remember. When I was a kid, I used to go to watch our local football
team with my parents, but now I usually go to matches with my friends. I believe that people often identify with the
group around them. They support their local clubs for much the same reason why they watch games played by their
national team. The teams represent us in a competition and it feels great to share the emotions of a sporting event
with other spectators.
