AmErIcAn CuLtUrE





Hello I'm Marc Guilana and I'm going to present my oral presentation. I'm going to talk about the American culture focusing in the esports ( american football and baseball). This sports are fantastic for play. I love them because are colective and there are a lot of public. At also because are not communal in Spain.

American football has existed since 1869 in United States and Canada. It's simply as football. The objective of the game is to score points by advancing the ball into the opposing team's end zone. The ball can be advanced by carrying it (a running play) or by throwing it to a teammate (a passing play). The first play was in November 6 in 1869. Rutgers vs Princeton. Every team is compose about 11 players. It isn't an olympic sport.It's the most important esport in the United States and it's an important thing in the American culture. One of the best american football players is Will Demps

Baseball is a
bat-and-ball sport played between two teams of nine players each. The goal is to score runs by hitting a thrown ball with a bat and touching a series of four bases arranged at the corners of a ninety-foot square, or diamond. Players on one team (the batting team) take turns hitting against the pitcher of the other team (the fielding team), which tries to stop them from scoring runs by getting hitters out in any of several ways. A player on the batting team can stop at any of the bases and hope to score on a teammate's hit.

Dear Eloi

My best friend isn't talking to me at the moment and I'm not sure what's the problem. I've also received one or two unfriendly messages recently. Unfortunately, I haven't got other friends and I feel very unhappy. What should you do?

Marc.

Dear Marc

If I were you, I wouldn't be too worried about this. Are you sure these people are your friends?
Obviously, you should talk to them as quickly as possible. You must speak honestly to them and tell them that you are worried.
As for the texts, you must try no to think about them. Unfortunately, people are strange sometimes, and you have to live with it.

Eloi.

DIRECTIONS IN A BUILDING

Eloi: Excuse me. Do you work here?
Mark: Yes. How can I help you?
Eloi: Can you tell me the way to the café, please?
Mark: Yes, of course. It's on the next floor. Can you see those steps over there?
Eloi: The steps next to the shop?
Mark: Yes. Go up the steps and turn left. Then walk through the Starr Auditorium and you'll see it.
Eloi: OK. Thanks very much.
Mark: You're welcome.

LEARNING REFLEXION

I think that I learn so much. In Grammar I stay Ok, but in writing, novel no much. I think that I should practice more writing and novel. The oral presentation is difficult. I'm going to work more this 3term because I want to take a good mark.

GIVING ADVICE

Mark: Hey, Eloi, what's the matter? You look worried. What's the problem?
Eloi: Yes, it's my brother. I think he's stealing things. I found ten new films in his room.
Mark: Wow! That's serious! What are you going to do?
Eloi: I don't know. What do you think I should do?
Mark: Well, if I were you, I'd speak to him.
Eloi: I tried that, but he didn't listen.
Mark: Then you have to try again. Come on - I'll come with you.
Eloi: Ok, Thanks Mark.
