Soccer Positions

 I briefly talked about soccer positions today, so I am looking for a video with the same information for the people who couldn't be in class today.  I think the names for soccer positions probably changed since I last played.  What I learned as "center" is "striker" on many videos.  Many videos call half-backs "wings."  Many videos distinguish full backs as the left or right back.

Do you like to play soccer?  Does your child play soccer?  Do you (or your child) usually play offense or defense?  
 

Challenge Listening: A History of May Day

Before COVID, preschools and elementary schools in the USA taught children to dance with ribbons around a pole on May 1.  

Did you ever celebrate May Day?  What did you do?

Home Sweet Home

 

What makes a house your home?

A very long time ago, I had a student take my class because he failed the English exam needed to go to college in his country. The exam asked the difference between a house and a home.  He wrote an essay on the difference between a horse and a home.  Spelling matters. One letter sometimes makes a big difference.

If you love your home here in the USA, please give advice to the people who are making this new place their home.  

Describe some things you like about your home. 

We are family...

Do you have a big family?  Who works hard?  Who cooks?  Who likes to go outside?

(I grew up in a small family.   I had five children, so many people in the USA think I have a big family.  My daughter works hard.  She's a real estate agent.  She also likes to cook.  My husband cooks a lot.  My daughter-in-law cooks very well.  Most of my family likes to stay inside, but my third child loves to run and ride a bicycle.)

Nice to meet you!

I am very happy to meet you.  We will take a difficult reading test tomorrow, so try to sleep tonight and eat breakfast in the morning.

Who did you meet today?
