In this English listening exercise I reflect upon the end of the ritual that required English premier league football players to bend one knee to the ground before every match.

For the English student to make the most of this listening experience, follow the instructions.

1. Listen to the audio and decide which of the three arguments you agree with the most.

2. Review the 20 vocabulary items here as I explain each meaning in the second part of the audio.

3. Listen again and complete the text with the correct word.

4. Go back to 2 to check your answers. The vocabulary follows in the same order as the text.

5. Do the crossword (on screen or download and print it).
