You are collecting information for your school project on the Olympics. Arrange the lines in the right order so that you get a dialogue. A: As I understand, Olympic sports make a long list. Among the most known kinds of Olympic sports, both in summer and wintertime, I would like to mention first of all such major kinds of sports as athletics, basketball, cycling, football, gymnastics, and others. B: A: Certainly. But not all of them are Olympic games. Some of the sports take place in the open and some inside the premises. So it is in the wintertime, it’s the winter Olympics. B: A: That’s it! So hockey, bobsleigh, ice dancing, skiing of all kinds, and the like are all winter sports. B: A: They were started in 1896 when they were held in Athens in Greece. B: A: Yes, they are. B: A: They begin when the Olympic flame is lit with a torch. The torch is carried by runners. B: A: Yes, it is. The event is seen as a time when people from all over the world come together to compete in a friendly way. B: A: It certainly is. And I am looking forward to it. B: A: They get gold, silver, and bronze medals. B: A: Not only for them but also for the country the winner is from.

** Your friends were in the library. Looking through the book they found information about sport. Read the descriptions and choose the kind of sport.

Changed from ancient times 2. First played in England 3. Appeared in the 19th century 4. Based on the children’s game 5. Played on pastures 6. Driven by 2 games 7. Highly arguable for Scottish people 8. Developed by the principal A. The origins of golf are highly debated. The Scots take total credit for it, and they are kind of right. The modern foundation of the game started in the mid-15th century in Scotland. However, there is evidence that the roots of the game sprouted in the small town of Loenen aan de Vecht in the Netherlands when it was played there in 1297. Besides the mention of colf in 1297, there is other evidence of golf-like games being played throughout the Netherlands centuries before the game of golf first appeared in Scottish literature in 1636. B. Canadians are gleefully boastful about their ice hockey heritage. According to them, it’s their game. However, according to a book that was published in 2014, hockey was probably invented in England. There are references to the game all the way back to as early the 1790s, and beyond that, it is unclear who created the game. Notable people who played included King Edward VII and Charles Darwin. Why Canada is often associated with hockey is that the first organized public game was played in Montreal on March 3, 1875. Before that, games were just played casually. C. Rugby supposedly got its start in 1876 when 16-year-old William Webb Ellis was playing soccer at the Rugby School in Warwickshire, England, and he picked up the ball and ran with it. Unfortunately, the story can’t be true because Ellis died in 1872, four years before he was credited with inventing rugby. The real story is that the game did grow out of the Rugby School and it was promoted by the school’s headmaster Thomas Arnold. The rules were first written in 1845 and it’s believed that the game grew out of soccer, but it’s unclear who was the first person to pick up the ball and run with it. D. Cricket is beloved in many countries around the world and watched by billions of people. In fact, it is the second most popular sport in the world. Cricket is believed to have gotten its start in the 13th century in rural England, where it was played by shepherds. The wicket gate of the sheep paddock was used as a target and then a ball of rags or wool was pitched at the target. An opposing player would use a shepherd’s crooked staff to prevent the ball from hitting the target. E. It’s believed that the ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans all played some form of tennis. However, the linage of modern tennis starts around 1000 A.D. when it was played by French monks in a monastery. They would play with their hands and a wooded ball. The net was usually just a rope that stretched across a courtyard. This is also where tennis got its name. While playing, the monks would yell "tenez", which is French for "to take", while they served the ball. Over the next two centuries, the game gained popularity throughout Europe. F. Dr. James Naismith of Almonte, Ontario was born in 1861, he got his degree in physical education. After graduating, he moved to the United States, where he got a job at the Training School in Springfield. There, he was tasked with finding a suitable activity for a group of “incorrigibles.” The winters were cold in New England and the boys had to stay inside and became bored with all the games of the day. Naismith developed basketball remembering the game he played as a child called Duck on a Rock. G. The most common legend of the start of baseball is that it was invented in Cooperstown, New York, during the summer of 1839 by Abner Doubleday. After inventing the game, Doubleday went on to become a hero in the American Civil War. The only problem is that none of that is true. In 1839, Doubleday would have still been at West Point. Baseball probably descended from two games from England. The first is a game called rounders that was a children’s game that came to New England with the colonists, and the second is cricket.

A meal all in one package 2. Ancient liquid food 3. A sweet dairy recipe 4. Described in the poem 5. The dish for Spanish conquerors 6. French food sold up to now 7. Similar to the stone soup 8. A popular ritual dish A. What might be Hannibal Lecter’s favourite meal, maccu is an ancient Roman dish made primarily from crushed beans. Initially created on the Island of Sicily, this particular dish spread once the Sicilians were integrated into the Roman Empire. As for the preparation, the beans were boiled with any number of herbs and spices. Olive oil was added to the mixture, and it was eaten as a soup. Though a rarity in today’s Sicily, some restaurants carry the foodstuff as peasant food, meant to play on our nostalgia for ages past. B. Staying in ancient Rome, moretum was a kind of cheese spread that Roman peasants used on the various breads which they ate.The great poet Virgil compiled a collection of poetry called Appendix Vergiliana. One of the poems discusses the foodstuff, and it is named “Moretum”. In the poem, the peasant collected ingredients from his land such as garlic, herbs, and butter and then produced the meal, all while talking and singing to his slave. There was also a widely eaten variant involving pine nuts which was remarkably similar to modern-day pesto. C. Deriving its name from the Sanskrit word for “milk” (ksheer) and the Persian word for “sweet” (qand), shrikhand is a dessert made from milk. The exact origins are lost to history, but tradition says it arose in ancient western India. Different versions of shrikhand contained various ingredients, including sugar, spices, and nuts. Most commonly found in India today, shrikhand is served as a breakfast dish in the North. In the South, they’ve kept its tradition as a dessert. D. An extremely traditional Mesoamerican foodstuff, tamales have been cooked since at least 1500 BC. Some evidence actually points to as long ago as 8000 BC. The word itself is derived from the Nahuatl word for “wrapped food”. In English, it’s commonly spelled and pronounced “tamale.” Tradition holds that the Maya would make their cornmeal delights both filled and unfilled, with the fillings ranging from fish to beans to eggs. As for the tamales’ wrapping, which serves to help the steaming process, corn husks are the most widely used. E. Acquacotta, another peasant’s dish, originally came from western coastal Italy. Literally translated as “cooked water,” this particular foodstuff is a relatively simple soup. Farmers and other labourers often just gathered whatever wild herbs and vegetables they could find. Legends abound about the initial creation of the dish. In one of many versions, a poor person convinces others to add ingredients to his pot, which began with nothing but water and a stone inside it. Eventually, a delicious soup was created and everyone enjoyed themselves. F. Cantal cheese is one of the oldest cheeses in the history of France. It is a particular type of a semi-hard cheese. The Roman author Pliny the Elder wrote about the cheese in the first century AD. Pliny said that the best cheese came from Nimes, a city in southern France. Relatively unchanged through the centuries that followed its creation, Cantal cheese rose to prominence during the reign of Louis XIV of France. Today’s Cantal cheese is sold much younger than it traditionally was, often with much less salt as well. G. Papadzules is a traditional dish from the Yucatan Peninsula. Traditionally made by the Maya, the dish consists of tortillas, preferably corn, dipped in a sauce made from pumpkin seeds. Chopped hardboiled eggs are placed in the tortilla, and it is wrapped shut and put into a tomato sauce. As for the name, the story goes that it meant “food for the lords” and the papadzules were fed to the Spanish conquistadors who encountered the Maya.

Cheddar cheese Cheddar cheese is a famous English cheese but it is also made all over the world. In 1859, a farmer called Joseph Harding wrote down how his wife made her excellent cheeses. He also gave talks on the best way of making cheese. But Joseph Harding had a very large family and his farm was too small for his seven daughters and six sons. So his sons left home and went to Canada to make cheese, taking the recipe for farmhouse cheese with them. Cheesemakers in Denmark and America also started making cheese like this. These regional Cheddar cheeses are still produced today. But where does the name come from? Strangely Cheddar cheese did not, and does not, come only from the place called Cheddar. There is a famous tourist attraction called Cheddar Gorge and in the nineteenth century tourists took the cheese home as a gift for their families, and called it Cheddar cheese. And that’s how it got its name. In the twentieth century many small family farms stopped producing cheese. In 1939 there were five hundred farms making cheddar but by 1974 there were just thirty-three. Luckily, some families continued to make cheese in the traditional way, and now more and more farms are making it again. The Kittle family in Somerset have their own cows and use their own milk to make cheddar. Mr Kittle says he usually eats the cheese they make on his own, or with bread or biscuits, but he thinks it’s best eaten hot on toast, washed down with a glass of beer. Choose the right answer.
