Question

Work in pairs. Which other sports can you use the words in bold from Exercise 2 to describe?

Answer

  1. drive could be for cricket – when a batsman hits the ball straight. With a different meaning, some students may argue it could also be for Formula 1, e.g. Hamilton had another excellent drive.
  2. track – can also be for athletics, especially running like 400 m, 800 m etc. It’s also for horse / dog racing; overtake can be for cycling too.
  3. post and bar can also be for rugby and other team sports with a goal (hockey, ice hockey, etc.)
  4. A number of team sports can call for a time-out, (see answers to Exercise 2), and in sports like tennis, players can call for a medical time-out. Tactics are used in almost every sport, especially team sports.
  5. Teams can be promoted in any sport that has different divisions. They can also suffer the opposite – relegated.
  6. You serve in other rackets sports such as squash, table tennis and badminton, and it is called a fault when you miss a serve. However, only tennis has double faults.
  7. You can be tackled in other team sports, with arms in rugby and American football, and with sticks in hockey and ice hockey. You can shoot in any sport with a goal or net, such as netball, basketball, hockey, ice hockey, handball, etc.
  8. Only rugby has tries, (meaning a way of scoring points) but you can say, ‘Oh! Nice try!’ (meaning ‘attempt’)
  9. substitute – any team sport
  10. red card – football and rugby
  11. sacking coaches – pretty much any sport, team or solo
  12. fixed – pretty much any sport. There’ve been allegations for most sports. There are judges in combat sports, but also in sports like ice skating, diving and extreme sports where competitors perform tricks (referees in football and rugby, umpires in tennis and cricket).
