began playing football as a young child and he is known today as
one of England’s greatest players. But Bobby’s career was not
without setbacks. When he was 20 years old, his team was on their

including Bobby’s best friend. Bobby was overcome with sorrow
but he returned to the game less than a month later because he felt
that was what his team would have wanted. Together with his

Read＆answer
Why does the author say “at any sporting event, you face two opponents”
Why was Monti awarded the Pierre de Coubertin Fair Play Trophy
Would you do the same if you were Monti Why or why not
Answers:
Because on the one hand, sportspeople have to compete with their fellow players, and on the other, they must compete with themselves. But in both cases, they must make the right decisions to play fair and with dignity.
Answers:
Monti helped a British competitor who had broken a part of his bobsleigh by lending him the same part of his own. It was a remarkable, unselfish decision, which sets an example to us all.
Answers:
Yes, I would do the same as Monti because as an athlete, I would feel responsible to demonstrate good sportsmanship, which is also in the spirit of the Olympic Games. Besides, as I would have to live with my decision, I would feel good because I played fair and helped a fellow athlete.
We all know what it is like to want to win and most of us know what it is like to lose. More often than not, winning has the victor walking on air, lost in the glory of the moment, while the loser is left with a bitter taste and a feeling of failure. Almost nobody likes to come second, and sometimes it is difficult to keep everything in perspective. Modern society honours winners and successful sportspeople quickly become celebrities, admired by all.
我们都知道想要赢是什么感觉，我们大多数人都知道失败是什么感觉。通常情况下，胜利让胜利者飘飘然，沉浸在那一刻的荣耀中，而失败者则留下苦涩的味道和失败的感觉。几乎没有人喜欢屈居第二，有时很难正确看待每件事。现代社会尊重获胜者，成功的运动员很快成为名人，受到所有人的钦佩。

However, there are ways to win and ways to lose. Whether you come first or last, it is important to remember that at any sporting event, you face two opponents:your fellow competitors and yourself. At the finish, your competitors will walk away but you will have to live with your decisions. A true sportsperson will make the right decisions for the right reasons and not worry about failure. There is an old and very wise saying, repeated many times, “Win with humility, lose with grace, and do both with dignity.”
然而，有赢的方法也有输的方法。无论你是第一名还是最后一名，重要的是要记住，在任何体育赛事中，你都面临着两个对手:你的竞争对手和你自己。在终点，你的竞争对手会走开，但你必须为自己的决定承担后果。一个真正的运动员会因为正确的理由做出正确的决定，而不担心失败。有一句古老而睿智的谚语，被重复了很多次:“赢要谦虚，输要优雅，并且两者都要有尊严。”
In praise of such acts of sportsmanship, the International Fair Play Committee decided to award the Pierre de Coubertin Fair Play Trophy, in 1964. The first athlete to receive the award was an Italian bobsleigh competitor named Eugenio Monti. During the two-man bobsleigh final at the 1964 Winter Olympic Games, he produced an excellent time for his downhill run.
为了表彰这种体育精神，国际公平竞赛委员会决定在1964年颁发皮埃尔·德·顾拜旦公平竞赛奖杯。第一位获得该奖项的运动员是意大利雪橇选手Eugenio Monti。在1964年冬季奥运会双人雪橇决赛中，他在速降比赛中取得了优异成绩。

One of the British competitors, Tony Nash, had broken a part of his bobsleigh and was unable to compete. Monti became aware of this, and without hesitation, he removed the same part of his own bobsleigh and lent it to his opponent.Nash and his partner went on to achieve a record time and won the gold medal. Monti’s remarkable, unselfish decision to help a fellow competitor, in the final stage of an Olympic event, is an example to us all. He did not come first but he walked away a true hero.
其中一名英国选手托尼·纳什(Tony Nash)的雪橇折断了一部分，无法参加比赛。蒙蒂意识到了这一点，毫不犹豫地把自己雪橇上同样的部分取了下来，借给了对手。纳什和他的搭档创造了纪录，赢得了金牌。蒙蒂在奥运会比赛的最后阶段无私地帮助同伴，这一非凡的决定为我们所有人树立了榜样。他不是第一个来的，但他是一个真正的英雄。
6. Monti became aware of this, and without hesitation, he removed the same part of his own bobsleigh and lent it to his opponent.
hesitation n. 踌躇，犹豫
without hesitation 毫不犹豫地
have no hesitation in doing sth. 毫不犹豫地做某事
e.g. She answered without hesitation.
hesitate v. 犹豫，迟疑(其后可接动词不定式，犹豫着不想。常和介词about或over 连用，对……犹豫)
e.g. In case you need something, please don’t hesitate to tell me.
I had hesitated about / over taking his side until I knew the whole story.
In pairs, discuss different aspects of sportsmanship. Use the ideas in the mind map below to help you and think of examples to support your ideas.
Working hard
Playing fair
Showing respect to other players
Being self-disciplined
Never quitting
Cooperating with teammates
Being professional
Being Gracious in victory and defeat
Sportsmanship
Working hard
Athletes always have long hours’ hard training. They work hard to be the strongest.
They spare no efforts to overcome the difficulties they meet in the training.
Playing fair
All the athletes should follow the rules of competition.
They are not allowed to take in drugs or other illegal things.
Showing respect to other players
Every sportsperson should be treated equally in spite of their race or nationality.
A sportsperson will be respected for his kindness and great spirit.
Providing clarification in conversation
When you try to explain an idea, the person you are speaking to may fail to understand you. In this case, try to repeat or paraphrase what you have said, or give examples, e.g. When/ say…, I actually mean …
Take …as an example.
Conduct a dialogue about sportsmanship. Remind them to read the tip of “Providing clarification in conversation” on page 24.
A: When it comes to sport, winning isn’t everything. It’s about two sides making sure they respect the rules of the game and each other.
B: Yes, playing by the rules shows great sportsmanship. But for me, sportsmanship covers one essential aspect—the spirit of friendship between players.
A: So, you feel that opponents should focus on being friendly
B: Not exactly. When I say that, I mean they must be respectful to each other before, during and after the game. How players treat each other not only reveals who they are as sportspeople, but also who they are in general. By treating other players with respect, it builds a positive spirit of friendship among them.
A: I see. In my opinion, working hard is certainly another important aspect. Take Hungarian swimmer Katinka Hosszu as an example. Although she did not manage to achieve very good results at the 2004 and 2012 Olympics, she never gave up but instead continued to work hard and improve at each competition. Then, at the 2016 Games she won three gold medals and broke two records—the Olympic record for the 200-metre individual medley and the world record for the 400-metre individual medley.
B: What an amazing story! Hosszu’s experience is a good example that illustrates the connection between hard work and good sportsmanship. It is through hard work that sportspeople improve their skills and inspire many sports fans, young and old.
What is good sportsmanship
Write an essay about sportsmanship. Use your ideas from part C and the information in parts A and B to help you.
Planning your writing
Learning about the structure
Introduce the topic of sportsmanship and state the main idea of your essay. Remember to take a clear stand on sportsmanship.
When writing an essay about sportsmanship, you can follow the structure below.
State the topic in 2~3 sentences. The last sentence of the paragraph should lead to the paragraphs below.
Develop the body of your essay by giving your understanding of sportsmanship in detail. Use examples to support your opinion where necessary. You can also include an opposing opinion and state why you disagree.
You can organize this part in two to three paragraphs to express your ideas. At the beginning of each paragraph you should write a topic sentence of the paragraph. Then complete the details.
Sum up your opinion by reminding the reader of what you have written. Rather than repeating the exact words, express your main idea in a different way.
Restate your ideas in other words. You also can show your wish.
Learning about writing techniques
Use transitional statements to conclude what you have written and introduce what you will write next, which will make your essay flow more smoothly. For example, after arguing that some people believe winning is all that matters, you can move on to an opposing idea: Though winning is very important in sport, I believe that …
Sport is not only about winning, but also about sportsmanship. People may have different understandings of sportsmanship, which covers several aspects. For example, one aspect of good sportsmanship expects that competitors will play by the rules of the game to achieve the goals they strive for. However, to me, sportsmanship is about the spirit of friendship between players as well as hard work.
The spirit of friendship between players is enhanced when they are respectful to each other before, during and after the game. It shows that they value their opponents more than winning against them. The way players treat each other not only reveals who they are as sportspeople, but also who they are in general. By treating other players with respect, both on and off the field, a positive spirit of friendship develops among them.
Furthermore, for athletes, sportsmanship also means they continue to work hard to improve and achieve sporting excellence.
One example of this is Hungarian swimmer Katinka Hosszu, who took part in three Olympic Games in 2004, 2012 and 2016. Although she did not achieve good results at the 2004 and 2012 Olympics, she didn’t give up. Instead, she worked harder after each setback and kept improving. Finally, at the 2016 Games she won three gold medals and broke two records—the Olympic record for the 200-metre individual medley and the world record for the 400-metre individual medley. Hosszu’s story has made her an example of how working hard in the face of challenges is an important part of sportsmanship.
In summary, winning in sport is not everything. It is even more important for sportspeople to treat their opponents respectfully and work hard. In other words, good sportsmanship is about being the best one can be, both as an athlete and as a person. This way sportspeople serve as role models and inspire millions of sports fans from across the world.

Sport is not only about winning, but also about sportsmanship. People may have different understandings of sportsmanship, which covers several aspects. For example, one aspect of good sportsmanship expects that competitors will play by the rules of the game to achieve the goals they strive for. However, to me, sportsmanship is about the spirit of friendship between players as well as hard work.
The spirit of friendship between players is enhanced when they are respectful to each other before, during and after the game. It shows that they value their opponents more than winning against them. The way players treat each other not only reveals who they are as sportspeople, but also who they are in general. By treating other players with respect, both on and off the field, a positive spirit of friendship develops among them.
Furthermore, for athletes, sportsmanship also means they continue to work hard to improve and achieve sporting excellence.
One example of this is Hungarian swimmer Katinka Hosszu, who took part in three Olympic Games in 2004, 2012 and 2016. Although she did not achieve good results at the 2004 and 2012 Olympics, she didn’t give up. Instead, she worked harder after each setback and kept improving. Finally, at the 2016 Games she won three gold medals and broke two records—the Olympic record for the 200-metre individual medley and the world record for the 400-metre individual medley. Hosszu’s story has made her an example of how working hard in the face of challenges is an important part of sportsmanship.
In summary, winning in sport is not everything. It is even more important for sportspeople to treat their opponents respectfully and work hard. In other words, good sportsmanship is about being the best one can be, both as an athlete and as a person. This way sportspeople serve as role models and inspire millions of sports fans from across the world.
