as soccer (or football), gymnastics, swimming or running. Others, like the ones depend on weather
conditions or geography, such as ice skiing, snowboarding, or surfing, are only seen and played in
specific places and even during specific seasons.

why l am here is Lisbeth. You know that l go wherever l can to meet her, and you assured me that she
would be were today.

Mitch: Look!
Troy: There she is ! She is so gorgeous. Isn’t she?
Mitch: I prefer he friend. You know, that Colombian girl. What’s her name? Carmen?
Troy: Whatever, Lisbeth will never notice me anyway.
Mitch: If you start coming here very Sunday morning, and, of course, start exercising, she probably will.
You know her, she loves sports. All her previous boyfriends were athletes.
Troy: So l should forget about it, l’m not going to change who l am just because a girl prefers to date
muscles instead of brains.
Mitch: you are talking nonsense. They were also great students. For the record, l know the last guy she
was dating and he is in Cambridge now.
Troy: Great! Athletic and intelligent… what are my chances?
Mitch: l don’t know, but let’s cut the small talk and start, shall we? Even if you don’t get the girl, you
will still lose weight, and improve you cardio health. That can do you no harm, right?

you're overdone it when we finish it.
Troy: Plus, it would not be goof if I fainted in front of Lisbeth.
Mitch: You never know. Maybe she would come a give you some help with you exercises. I hear she
likes helping people with their technique.

At school and in English courses around the world, students usually learn on of the two most
prestigious varieties of English: American or British.
When we study the English language considering these two varieties and their respective countries, we
find many differences in pronunciation, spelling, grammar, vocabulary, and word usage.
Part of those differences is resulted from the contract of the English from England with other
languages. However, it is equally important to understand that much of the vat]riety in English comes
from the necessity over time to name new things, actions, and trends, and to take into account individual
creativity in each of the places English had been introduced.
There are as many varieties of English as the number of countries in which the language is spoken.
The good news is that most English speakers can understand each other perfectly, at least most of the
time.
11. When you think about English, do you think about American or British English? Why?
