E. COMPREHENSION:
1. Read the following passage and choose the best answer:
For many young people in Britain, sport is a popular part of school life, and being in one of the school teams
and playing in matches is very important. If someone is in a team, it means a lot of extra practice and often spending a
Saturday or Sunday away from home, as many matches are played then.
It can also involve travelling to other towns to play against other school teams and then staying on after the
match for a meal or a drink. Sometimes parents, friends and other students will travel with the team to support their own
side.
When a school team wins a match, it is the whole school that feels proud, not only the players. It can also mean
that the school becomes well-known for being good at certain sports and students from that school may end up playing
for national and international teams so that the school has some really famous names associated with it.
