You have 1.5 minutes to read the text silently, then be ready to read it out aloud. You will not

People have enjoyed sports for thousands of years. Children, men and
women play sports both for pleasure and for challenge. Every sport involves
physical skill. Every sport has a set of rules that the players of the sport follow.
In some sports one person competes against other individuals. Examples of
these sports include boxing, tennis and so on. In many games one team
competes against the other team.
People can go in for winter and summer sports. Summer sports are
typical for warmer countries. Those who live in regions that experience cold
winters have long enjoyed ice skating, skiing, and sledding. These activities
have grown immensely in popularity over the years. Today thousands of resorts
cater to the winter tourist trade, and millions of people each year take winter
sports vacations.
