Question

– WRITTEN COMPREHENSION Task # 1: Read the dialogue carefully.
Then, Sports MARK:  We might go to the soccer match next Saturday, Cristina. CRISTINA:  Soccer? You must be joking. I can't stand it. MARK:  No? Why not? CRISTINA: Oh, Mark, haven't you realized yet? Twenty-two men in shorts, running after a ball, trying to kick it into a net, a man blowing a whistle, two others waving flags… and thousands of people shouting and screaming like madmen every time it is a goal or not. Is this a game? MARK: I see… you prefer things like hopscotch, hide-and-seek, leapfrog, blind man's bluff… CRISTINA:  Don't tease me, Mark. I am not a child anymore and there are much better sports than soccer. MARK: Really? CRISTINA:  Yes, take volleyball, for example. It is so exciting, I would say wonderful, the two teams trying to keep the ball in motion without letting it touch the ground. No foul play, no violence… MARK: Yes, maybe you are right. I like volleyball, too. For me, all ball games are great! CRISTINA:  Not only ball games, Mark. Don't you like badminton, cards, chess, even darts… and things like that? MARK:  Er… of course I do. Especially if I can play it with you! CRISTINA:  Oh Mark! This is not fair play… Vocabulary: hopscotch, hide-and-seek, leapfrog, blind man's bluff…  = rayuela, escondite, salto de rana, farol del ciego ...  // Don't tease me = No me tomes el pelo!   Questions: Long answers: Respuesta larga
