Hello, this is Six Minute English from BBC Learning English.
I'm Neil.
And I'm Sam.
We all know that sport is great for our health, and if you're talented, it can make you rich.
Many great champions have found a way out of poverty through their sporting ability.
Think of someone like footballer Maradonna.
But in today's programme, we're not looking at the superstars.
Instead, we'll discuss how sport can change the lives of young people from some of the poorest, toughest backgrounds on earth.
And of course, we'll be learning some vocabulary on the way.
Many projects around the world use sports to change children's lives,
improving mental health, challenging stereotypes and giving hope.
Among them is the Ebony Club in Brixton,
which uses sport to help young people in London's most disadvantaged communities.
But which sport?
That's my quiz question.
Is it a, golf, b, tennis or sea horse riding?
Well, I can't imagine there's enough space for golf and horse riding in the city,
so I'll say b, tennis.
