eSports Go Global
In the past, people played computer games in their living rooms and bedrooms against their family and friends. But nowadays, gamers play online against hundreds of different people around the world. There are also millions of fans who love watching these eSports as well as playing. They pay money to watch the very best gamers compete in large stadiums. It's just like watching a real sport!
Like other sports
“eSports” is short for electronic sports and, as with normal sports such as soccer and tennis, professional eSports players are very competitive. In some countries, like China and South Korea, there are competitions in stadiums with up to 80,000 fans. At these events, some of the eSports are individual, but most of them are team games. There are five players on each team and the winning team shares the prize money.
Big business
As eSports are growing in popularity, they are also becoming profitable. Globally, the eSports industry is worth about a billion dollars. Large companies sponsor the competitions, and some soccer teams also have their own eSports teams.
But is it a sport?
Of course, some people don't believe it's a real sport because eSports players sit in chairs and they are not physically active. But eSports fans disagree. The players need a lot of skill to win the competitions and, in the future, some people even think eSports will be part of the Olympic Games.

(Thực hành theo các nhóm, hãy chọn hai trong số các môn thể thao và hoạt động này. Nói xem chúng giống nhau và khác nhau như thế nào.)
Thảo luận (1)Hướng dẫn giảiThere are many similarities and differences between soccer and tennis. For example, both of these two sports are known and played around the world. In addition, in both kinds of sports, we have certain things we need to play these sports. They are both played with a ball, and both use nets. However, the objective in soccer is to get the ball into the net. But in tennis, you try to hit the tennis ball over the net, inside the lines and try to hit a better shot than your opponents so they can not return the ball. Therefore, you can get the point. Furthermore, in soccer, you can have up to 11 people playing on the field at one time, but in tennis, you can only have up to 2 people on the court. You do not have to wear any kind of protective gear in tennis, but in soccer, you do.
