Scottish Highland games, at which sports (including tossing the caber, putting the weight and throwing the hammer), dancing and piping competitions take place, attract large number of spectators from all over the world.
No one knows exactly when the men of the Highlands first gathered to wrestle, toss cabers, throw hammers, put weights, dance and play music. The Games reflected the tough life of the early Scots. Muscle-power was their means of livelihood - handling timber, lifting rocks to build houses, hunting. From such activities have developed the contests of tossing the caber, putting the weight and throwing the hammer.

Sports in America take a variety of forms: organized competitive struggles; athletic games, played for recreation anywhere; and hunting and fishing. Most sports are seasonal. Some sports are called spectator sports, as the number of spectators greatly exceeds the number playing in the game. Other sports are called participant sports, drawing a crowd of onlookers only on special occasions, such as tournaments. Some sports are commercial and professional, with players who are paid for their participation and with audiences who pay for the tickets to watch.

Many kinds of sports originated from England. The English have a proverb, “All work and no joy makes Jack a dull boy”. They do not think that play is more important than work; they think that Jack will do his work better if he plays as well, so he is encouraged to do both. Association football, or soccer is one of the games which attracts great attention. There are plenty of amateur and professional soccer clubs in every town. Professional soccer is big business. The Cup Final played in London is the culminating event of the football season. It takes place every May at the famous Wembley stadium. Some of the best known clubs in England are Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal. In Scotland either Rangers, Celtic or Aberdeen usually win the cup or the championship.

Baron Pierre de Coubertin conceived the main symbol of the International Olympic Committee, the coloured rings. According to Coubertin every one of the five rings symbolized one of the five continents. The conjunction of the five rings symbolized the conjunction of the continents during the athletic events and represents the ideal of peace and brotherhood of the whole planet. The top three circles, from left to right, are blue, black and red. The bottom two circles, from left to right are yellow and green. The five rings and their colours represent the 5 continents of the world: blue represents Europe, black represents Africa, red represents America, yellow represents Asia, green represents Oceania. Another reason Pierre de Coubertin chose these colours was that every country in the world uses at least one of those colours on their official flag.

The idea of the Olympic Games absolutely captivated the modern 19th century nationalities.
A Frenchman called Baron de Coubertin may be the famous person behind the actual revival of the modern Olympic Games as we know them today. At the end of nineteenth century he had an idea to bring the Olympic Games back to life. Following his suggestion, fifteen nations met at an international congress in 1894. Two years later, the first modern Olympic Games were held in Athens. Since then they have been staged every fourth year, except during World War I and World War II. Perhaps the main difference between the ancient and modern Olympics is that for the ancient Greeks the Games were a way of saluting their gods, when the modern Games are a manner of saluting the athletic talents of people of all nations.

Most of us live in large polluted cities. If we got more fresh air, we would look healthier and more attractive. A brisk walk is one of the best things you can do for your circulation and appearance. Walking slowly is useful but a quick pace gets more oxygen into your lungs. So don’t just go for a pleasant stroll, try and find an area that doesn’t have much pollution, and get moving.
