Situation 7:
P.E.(Kevin’s second period class is P.E. , or Physical Education.His teacher, Mr.
Knight, is also the football coach.)
Okay,class, today we’re going to play football
Mr.Knight,we played football all week.Can’t we play a different game?
What other game is there?Football is the best game there is.
I don’t think so
Really? What do you think is the best game?
No one game is the best, but I like soccer.
Soccer?!Soccer is for girls and Europeans.Americans play football.
But I like soccer.And my friend from Brazil says soccer should be
called football.
What?There is only one football.
Yeah, but my friend says you play soccer with your feet and so it should be
called football.He also says that you play football with your handsand so it
should be called handball.
That is nonsense.
Why? I think it’s true.
It may be true, but in America football is football and that will never
change.By the way, Kevin, why don’t you like football?
I don’t like any sports.
What?!Then what do you like?
I like music. I play guitar in a rock band. My hero is Kurt Cobain.
Who is that? Is he a football player?
No, he’s a guitar player.
