Pablo Catín's text on London

 

London — containing the City of London — is the capital of the United Kingdom and of England and is recognised as one of the key "world cities".

With over seven million inhabitants (Londoners) in Greater London, it is the second-most populous conurbation in Europe, after Moscow.

Founded as Londinium, the capital of the Roman province of Britannia, it later rose to become the centre of the British Empire.

Today it generates over 17% of the GDP of the UK's economy, the world's fourth largest, and is a major financial centre along with New York and Tokyo.

For several centuries, London has been one of the most influential powers in politics, finance, arts and fashion and remains so today.

Jon's Text on Soccer

Soccer is a very popular sports game. In this game you have two opposing teams trying to score a goal for their team by hitting the ball into the other side’s soccer goal. While this can be a fun game both to watch and play there are a few basic rules of soccer that need to be followed. These are mainly ways to keep the game from turning rowdy and very dangerous.

There should be 11 people on the field who are going to play the game. The rest of the team should be out and the players shouldn’tn’t tackle the goal keeper. Doing a move like this will only earn your team a foul. This is a penalty which will let your opponents have a free turn at trying to score a goal sitting or waiting on the sidelines only. They must stay there unless they are needed to go on the field.

1.TRUE OR FALSE.

 a) There must be 15 players on each team. 

b) Soccer is a very popular sport .

c) You can tackle the goal  keeper. 

d) You have two opposing teams .

Álvaro Aguado's text on Real Madrid

Real Madrid Club de Fútbol (Spanish pronunciation: [reˈal maˈðɾið ˈkluβ ðe ˈfuðβol]; Royal Madrid Football Club), commonly known as Real Madrid, or simply as Real, is a professional football club based in Madrid, Spain.

Founded in 1902 as Madrid Football Club, the team has traditionally worn a white home kit since then. The word real is Spanish for royal and was bestowed to the club by King Alfonso XIII in 1920 together with the royal crown in the emblem. The team has played its home matches in the 81,044-capacity Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in downtown Madrid since 1947. Unlike most European football clubs, Real Madrid's members (socios) have owned and operated the club since its inception.

The club is the world's richest football club in terms of revenue, with an annual turnover of €604 million, and the world's most valuable sports team, worth €2.4 billion ($3.3 billion).Real Madrid is one of three founding members of the Primera División which has never been relegated from the top division, along with Athletic Bilbao and FC Barcelona. The club holds many long-standing rivalries, most notably El Clásico with FC Barcelona and the Madrid derby with Atlético Madrid.

Real Madrid established itself as a major force in both Spanish and European football during the 1950s. Domestically, Real Madrid has won a record 32 National Leagues titles, 19 Cups of the King,  9 Spain´s Supercups, 1 Eva Duarte Cup and 1 Cup of the League.  Internationally it has won a record of ten European Cup/UEFA Champions League titles and a joint record three Intercontinental Cups, as well as two UEFA Cups, and two UEFA Super Cups.
