Entertainment
Everybody has got a way of relaxing from the work done during the week. Many people like to
have their hobbies like gardening, collecting, reading, dancing and playing cards or chess. Others prefer to
practice some kind of sport like football, basketball, handball, golf, tennis or swimming. Still others prefer
not to take a direct part in an activity and decide for an entertainment such as going to the ballet, opera,
cinema, theater, circus or attending a sport event. The option for a hobby, a sport or an entertainment varies
according to people’s age, gender, education, social status opportunity and personal needs.
For those who prefer an entertainment, several aspects must be considered: if you live in the countryside
it’s difficult to have the opportunity of access to most of the events because they usually take place in
larger towns: ballet, opera and classical music are diversions usually attended by the so-called upper
classes and people with a higher education; going to the cinema, theater, circus or attending a sport event is
something that most people like whatever their social status is. Attending sport events, especially football,
is particularly popular.
More than deciding for a hobby, a sport, or an entertainment without any special reason, sometimes you
have to decide according to your needs. That’s what happens to some people who have to work in the same
position all day long and need to practice some kind of physical activity to prevent physical health
problems. In this case the option for a sport would be advisable.

A. Are these statements TRUE or FALSE. JUSTIFY.


1. You can play chess to relax.
2. Swimming isn’t a physical activity.
3. Your education can influence your way of relaxing.
4. Those with higher education prefer opera to rugby.
5. More people attend the ballet than the cinema.
6. Nobody needs to practice a physical activity.
B. Answer these questions about the text.
1. What’s the difference between practicing a sport and attending an entertainment?
2. Is opera a popular entertainment? Why not?
3. Why do some people need to practice sport?
C. Find in the text words which mean the same as:
1. Comforting (para. 1) = _________________
2. Assisting (para. 1) = ___________________
3. Rural area (para. 2) = _________________
4. Desires (para. 3) = ___________________
