Listening Practice 3

Hello, everyone. I am Adriano Androssi from the Brazilian Culture Club. I travel around the world teaching kids about Brazilian sports and culture. Today, I am here to talk to you about footvolley, a sport that was invented in Brazil in 1965. I am sure all of you know what soccer is, and most of you probably know what volleyball is. Well, footvolley is a mix between soccer and volleyball. The game was invented because the police banned soccer on the beaches in Brazil. Brazilians used the volleyball court as a way to practice soccer without breaking the law. The rules are the same as beach volleyball, but there is one big difference: You can’t use your hands, just like in soccer. That makes the game a lot more challenging and fun. Today, it is popular around the world!
