Giáo án môn Tiếng Anh 12 - Unit 12: Water sports
Read the text and answer the questions that follow.
Water polo is played in a pool 1.8 meters deep, 30 meters long and 20 meters wide, with a goal 3 meters
high and at least 0.9 meter above the water. The goal is marked by vertical post, a crossbar and a net.
There are seven players per team, six swimmers and a goalie. The home team wears white caps, the
visiting team blue ones and the goalies wear red caps with the number 1 in white.
Like football, the game begins with the ball in the centre of the pool and both teams sprint for it from their
own goal lines. The ball can be advanced by passing with one hand or swimming with the head above the
water and the ball between the arms so it rides on the wave created by the swimmer’s head. No player
except the goalie can hold the ball with both hands.
Defensive players are not allowed to interfere with the opponent’s movements unless the player is holding
the ball. Major fouls are penalized by one minute in the penalty box and a player is ejected after
committing five personal fouls.
For minor fouls, such as holding or punching the ball, a free throw is awarded from the spot of the foul. At
least two players must touch the ball after a free throw before a goal can be scored.
A game is divided into quarters ranging from five to eight minutes in length. After a tie, there are two
overtime periods of three minutes each. If the game is still tied after the overtime periods, two teams
continue to play 3-minute overtime until the referee’s decision is made.
