本次前程百利小编要和大家分享的是关于足球的一些背景知识和相关词汇，以及经常会用到的一些句子，希望这些托福口语备考素材可以帮助大家在托福口语考试中取得好成绩!
很多同学不知道12月9号是世界足球日，它的历史很简单,最初是为纪念中国的一二·九学生运动，联合国于1978年召开会议，经国际足联同意,把12月9日定为世界足球日。今天我们来看看关于足球可以说些什么英文。 在美国，足球的英文是soccer，而football指的是美式橄榄球，在英国，足球的英文是football，而英式橄榄球的英文是rugby，american football和rugby的区别在于前者经常要佩戴一些保护措施，而rugby则更人肉一些，一般认为后者佩戴的保护更少，所以激烈程度更高。另外足球最初是出现在中国，原来叫做蹴鞠。
关于soccer，先看一段一位美国学者写的简介：
Soccer is one of the most popular sports in the entire world. Most popular in England and South America among their youth, soccer has more international acclaim than any other sport. Soccer has sought more popularity in the United States recently too; especially with the arrival or English soccer star David Beckham.
Soccer is a team sport played with two teams of eleven players. Soccer fields are made of grass or Astroturf and are long and rectangular in shape. At each end of the field there are two large nets. Players try to score by kicking the ball into these nets which are protected by a goalie, who is the only player on the field permitted to use his hands. The rest of their players use their feet to kick the ball.
在这其中的一些重要句子：
one of the most popular sports in the world，足球是世界第一大运动。
soccer has more international acclaim than any other sport，acclaim是喝彩。
grass和astoturf的区别是前者是天然草皮，后者是人造草皮，rectangular是长方形
goalie是门将。
这些句子可以用在口语(爱好，最难忘的经验等)和写作答题中。
下面介绍一些你可以用到的句子：
