GREETINGS
People around the world have different ways of greeting. They often say “hi” , “hello”,
when Muslims greet each other, they say “Assalamu’alaikum,” which means “May peace
be upon you and may God's blessings be with you.” This greeting makes a Muslim aware
that he has to spread love and peace wherever he goes.

Soccer is a ball game played by two teams. The ball is advanced with the feet, that’s why the
sport is also called football. As not to confuse it with other variants of football, e.g.
American football, rugby, or Gaelic football, the official name of this sport is association
football (after the London Football Association). But English native speakers usually just
call it soccer, football, footie, footy or footer. The object is to score goals. Each team has 11
players, consist of :
 a goalkeeper (also called goalie) who tries to block the shots by the opposing team
 the fullbacks (defense) who try to prevent the opposing team from scoring goals
 the halfbacks (or midfielders) who play both offense and defense
 the forwards (or strikers) who try to score goals for their team
Duration: The game is played in two halves of 45 minutes each. At halftime the teams
change ends.
Playing: Except for the goalie and at throw ins, players must not touch the ball with their
hands or arms. They can, however, use any other part of the body.
Scoring: A goal is scored when the ball has crossed the goal line between the posts and
under the crossbar.

OLYMPIC GAMES
A. Building Knowledge
What do you know about Olympic?
Where is it from originally?
What kind of sports do you know in Olympic?

B. Reading

The Olympic Games, the world’s most important sporting competition, take place every four
years. The Olympic motto is ‘citius-altius-fortius’ (faster-higher-stronger).

Ancient Olympic Games

There are many legends surrounding the origins of the Olympic Games; according to one
legend the Games were founded by Heracles (= Hercules in Roman mythology). Historically
the first Ancient Olympic Games can be traced back to 776 BC. Every fourth year, they took
place in Olympia in honour of the Olympian Gods. The prizes for the champions were
wreaths from a sacred olive tree that was said to have been planted by Heracles.

When the Romans conquered Greece, the Games were also introduced in the Roman
Empire. In 393 AD, however, Emperor Theodosius thought that the ‘pagan cult’ could
threaten the Christian religion and therefore banned the Games ending a thousand-year
period of Olympic Games.

Modern Olympic Games

The French Baron Pierre de Coubertin is the initiator of the modern Olympic Games. He
wanted to bring nations closer together and have them compete in sports rather than fight in
wars. Thanks to the efforts of Coubertin and his supporters, the first modern Games took
place in 1896 – in Athens, the actual birthplace of the Olympics.

Coubertin’s idea of bringing the nations closer together is symbolised in the Olympic flag:
its rings represent the five continents of the world and the colours (blue, black, red, yellow,
green, white) were chosen such that they contained the flag colours of all countries
participating in the games at the time the Olympic flag was created.

Months before the Olympics actually take place, the Olympic Flame is lit in Olympia and
relayed to the host city where, at the opening ceremony, the last runner lights the Olympic
fire. Another highlight of the opening ceremony is the parade of the competitors.

There are Olympic Summer Games, Olympic Winter Games and Paralympic Games. The
Winter Games take place two years after the Summer Games. The Paralympic Games are an
event for athletes with physical and mental disabilities – they are held shortly after the
 Olympic Games, at the same venues.

At the first modern Olympic games, 245 athletes from 13 nations competed in 10 different
sports. Now more than 10,000 athletes from about 200 nations compete in 28 summer sports
and 7 winter sports. The sports on the Olympic programme might change, however. Over
the years, the IOC has added new sports (e.g. beach volleyball, snowboarding, curling) and
striked out others (e.g. golf, rugby, tug of war).

The Olympic Games did not take place in 1916 due to World War I and in 1940 and 1944
due to World War II.
