🇬🇧 Sport meaning: English Vocabulary Flash Card

A sport is a person who stays kind, cheerful, and fair, even when something is hard, boring, or doesn’t turn out the way they want. A sport doesn’t complain when they lose a game, are asked to help with a job, or have to follow rules they don’t like. Instead, they try their best, stay positive, and are happy for other people too. Being a sport means you play and live in a friendly, generous way, not a grumpy or selfish way.
