Hi everyone! Do you remember the sport Quidditch from the Harry Potter books? Well now you can play it in real life! There's a new Quidditch club at my school and I joined last week. Of course we can't fly like Harry Potter, so we run around with our broomsticks between our legs. We play on a grass pitch and there are seven players on each team: a Seeker, 3 Chasers, 2 Beaters and a Keeper. The Chasers try to throw the ball through hoops at the end of the pitch to score goals. The Beaters try to stop them by throwing balls at them, and the Keeper guards the hoop. The Seeker - that's me - tries to catch the 'snitch', which is actually a tennis ball inside a long sock. If one of the Seekers catches the snitch, then it's the end of the game. It sounds crazy and difficult, but it's great fun and really good exercise. The best thing, though, is that you don't have to be a talented athlete to play Quidditch. It's all about teamwork! Anyway, we're playing tomorrow, so I have to go and practise. Does anyone else play a strange sport like Quidditch? Leave a comment below.

Hi Jane! Quidditch sounds like a lot of fun! I wish there were a team in my area. In Malaysia, we have a really exciting sport called Sepak Takraw. It's similar to volleyball, but you can only use your feet, knees, head and chest - so if you're good at football you should try it! It's really popular across the whole of Southeast Asia and here in Malaysia it's our national sport. Each team has three players: the Tekong, who plays up front, and two inside players called the 'left insider' and the 'right insider'. Just like volleyball, one player serves, but then the Tekong must kick the ball over the net. If the ball touches the ground on the other side of the net, then the team scores a point. You should try it as it's really fast and athletic. Next year, I'm going to join the school Sepak Takraw team. You should set up a team at your school!

Ответ:

Quidditch is a sport that originated in the Harry Potter books. According to the text, in the real-life version, it's a team sport played on a grass pitch where players run with broomsticks between their legs. A team consists of seven players: a Seeker, three Chasers, two Beaters, and a Keeper. The Chasers' goal is to throw a ball through hoops to score points, the Keeper defends the hoops, the Beaters try to hinder the opponents by throwing balls at them, and the Seeker attempts to catch the 'snitch' (a tennis ball in a sock), which ends the game. Harry Potter is the main character of the book series who is also a famous Quidditch player.

Квиддич — это спорт, который появился в книгах о Гарри Поттере. Согласно тексту, в реальной версии это командный вид спорта, в который играют на травяном поле, где игроки бегают с метлами между ног. Команда состоит из семи игроков: Ловца, трех Охотников, двух Загонщиков и Вратаря. Цель Охотников — забросить мяч в кольца, чтобы набрать очки, Вратарь защищает кольца, Загонщики пытаются помешать соперникам, бросая в них мячи, а Ловец пытается поймать «снитч» (теннисный мяч в носке), что завершает игру. Гарри Поттер — главный герой серии книг, который также является известным игроком в квиддич.
