Unit 1 Culture
Reading
Every year, in spring, there is a famous boat race on the river Thames in London. About 250 000 people go to the
river and watch it. Millions of people around the world watch it on TV. The Boat Race is sometimes called the
Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race and it’s a rowing race between the universities of Oxford and Cambridge.
The rowers travel 6.8 kilometres and the race usually takes between 16 and 20 minutes.
There are eight rowers in each boat and they’re all big, heavy men. There’s also a cox in the boat, who doesn’t row.
The cox must be a very light person, so it’s sometimes a woman. She sits at the back of the boat and steers it. She
also shouts at the rowers to make them go faster. All the people in the crews or rowing teams are students at the
universities. The Cambridge crew wear light blue and the Oxford crew wear dark blue.
Although the Boat Race is a famous British sporting event, a lot of the rowers are not British. In 2014, for example,
many rowers were from other countries including the USA, Germany and Australia.
Why are people interested in a race between two university boat crews? People like it because it’s free. You don’t need
a ticket. And it’s a fun day out near the river. People also like it because it’s a very old tradition. The first Oxford and
Cambridge Boat Race began on the Thames near Oxford in 1829.
