To start we can identify the importance of sport and then the different sports heroes

Part 1:

In 2010, Queen Elisabeth II made a speech during xmas break.This speech delivered values and benefit of sport. She explained that sports give a sense of share between people, no matter their ages or social backgrounds; Moreover sports create harmony, it gives cooperation between players. They keep positive team spirit most of the time. In sport there are mutual help and mutual respect. We worked on a announcement to promote the invictus game created by Prince Harry.
