A reader from Manchester writes:

Dear Julie,

My question is ----What is Britain’s favourite sport? My dad says it’s football but I think he’s wrong. I think it’s tennis. Who is right?

    It’s not an easy question t o answer. Do you mean favourite sport for people to play participant sportor for people to watch spectator sport? The difference is important.

  Every year, four million people in Britain go fishing but every week, fifteen million watch football on TV.

   I telephoned the Sports Council in London and asked them the question.

   “It’s difficult to say which spectator sport is Britain’s favourite. There is football, of course, but the Tnnis Championships at Wimbledon are very popular, too and don’t forget the Olympic cricket and horse-racing.”

   So I can’t really answer the question about spectator sports.

   But the question about favourite participant sport is easy. The answer is  surprising. It isn’t football or tennis or any games with a ball. To give you a clue, it begins with “w”, it’s cheap , there ‘s no special equipment and everybody in Britain does it. The answer is walking. And the second favourite? Swimming.

1What is the story talking about?

2Is the question from Manchester to Julie?

3How many people in Britain watch football on TV every week?

4Where are the Tennis Championships held?

5What’s Britain’s favourite participant sport?

1、1Britain’s favorite sport.  

2No, it isn’t  

3Fifteen million people

4At Wimbledon
