Event - Sport Event Flashcards
Describe a sports event that you enjoyed watching.
what event you watched
* the most memorable event in recent years * festival of sport over the course of * a once-in a-lifetime experience
I’m going to describe what I think was the most memorable event in recent years that I remember, which was the London 2012 Olympic Games. This was a spectacular festival of sport over the course of several weeks in England, and I think it is a once-in a-lifetime experience for individuals to have the Olympic Games in their own country.
where you were
* I didn’t manage to go to London * in person * the events themselves * various other smaller stadiums
I was unfortunately at home watching most of the Olympics on television. I didn’t manage to go to London to see any of the events in person, but I enjoyed them all on TV at home, in my own house, or sometimes with friends or family at their houses. And I do remember the events themselves, though, were in all different places across London, mainly at the Olympic Park area, in the main stadium or the various other smaller stadiums for the different events, like the swimming, the basketball etc., and I watched various of these different events when they were on television
who you watched it with
* at home, my own, family, friends * 100 meters sprint * considered to be the most important * blue “riband” event * hype and anticipation surrounding
As I said, I was watching at home, usually on my own or with family or occasionally with friends. I remember, for example, watching the 100 meters sprint race, which is probably considered to be the most important or the most famous event in the Olympic Games; we often call it the “blue riband” event, and there was a lot of hype and anticipation surrounding the 100 meters at the London Olympics because everyone wanted to see whether Usain Bolt would win again, or whether anyone would be able to beat him.
And explain why you enjoyed watching it.
* unforgettable experience * performances and victories * enjoyed every minute
So I enjoyed this event, the London Olympic Games, because I think it was an unforgettable experience. There were some great performances and victories by the athletes, and I enjoyed every minute. I wish one day it will be held it in my own country, Iran.
