Sport for students: physical activities on and around campus

How healthy are your habits? Life as a student is not always easy and it can get a bit messy. How often do you engage in physical activity? Do you play sports regularly? In this module, we will explore the possibilities offered at UGA campus. There are many things you can do, even on a tight budget. Of course, we should not forget to share these good tips with intEGre, in our leaflet for international students!

Talking about sport

Activity #1

Why do we "do yoga" but "play rugby"?

Vocabulary Tip!

Les collocations ça ne s’invente pas, mais alors comment les retenir? Pensez à les inclure dans vos notes et lorsque vous apprenez du vocabulaire. Vous verrez, réutiliser le vocabulaire appris sera alors plus facile!

Some words work particularly well together. They form a "couple", or unit, called a "collocation". These collocations can vary, for example, between British and American English.
