M: Let it begin.
William: Hi. How are you?
Teacher Ca: I’m fine and you?
William: I’m doing good. My name is William, I live here at the United States, southern part of the
United State in the state of Texas. So I’m just north of the country of Mexico. I’m married, I have
six beautiful children and I have been teaching English for students around the world through
Cambly since May of this year. My regular job is Real State Finance, I enjoy reading, I enjoy sports,
I played sports when I was younger so I’m excited to talk to you today.
Teacher Ca: Perfect. Can you tell us a little bit of how sports goes there and can you talk about
some popular sports in America?
Aproveitando um pouco que o William gosta muito de esportes, eu pedi para que ele falasse um
pouco dos esportes populares nos Estados Unidos. Ele começou a falar pra gente um pouco deles,
vamos ouvir?
William: The most popular sport here in the United States in the America, it would be American
Football, and I have to use the word American Football because if I just say Football, in American,
that means Soccer. I do understand that Football and Soccer is actually the number one sport in
the world and I love Soccer. I start playing Soccer when I was just five years old, it was the first
sport I ever played, if I could still play even though I’m old, that would be the sport that I would
play.
But American Football is one of the most popular here in the United States, we have a numbers of
teams. Super Bowl it’s seen all of the world and it’s very popular here.
Teacher Ca: Ele começou falando do esporte mais popular que é o American Football/Futebol
Americano, ele até enfatizou que, se ele fala apenas Futebol poderíamos entender que é o Soccer,
o nosso futebol.
Nós brasileiros amamos o Futebol Brasileiro, óbvio. O American Football é o número um para eles.
William: The Super Bowl typically happens at the very end of January or the beginnning of
February each year, which is nice and also bad, because several cities around the United States will
host the Super Bowl. So I live in the city of Dallas, we have hosted the Super Bowl in the past, but
it also has been in California and Florida, it’s been all over. So it’s really nice. Another very popular
sport here it’s also a Soccer as well. We have what’s called EELS, Dallas also has a EELS or
professional Soccer team FC Dallas, they did very well this year. Others sports includes Basketball
of course, as well as Hocky, is a very popular sport here too; Track and Field it’s watched as well.
Teacher Ca: Ele fala do Super Bowl. Super Bowl é um campeonato muito popular no Estados
Unidos em que vários jogadores do Futebol Americano ficam muito entusiasmados porque é um
momento que eles adoram, é um campeonato muito importante para eles que envolve os Estados
Unidos inteiro.
Ele geralmente acontece no final de Janeiro e início de Fevereiro e é muito importante. Todos os
anos acontecem esse Super Bowl.
What about Basketball? Does it have a competition too? If it does, can you tell me?
William: Sure. Of course. Well Basketball begins in the winter so close to november will begin and
it will conclude around almost the end of spring. So the Basketball season it’s very long. Some of
the most popular events are the NBA All Star Game. This is where all the best and and most
talented Basketball players are playing the game together. But they also has other nice
competition like the Slam Dunkest and Three-Point Contest as well. So it’s very fun. It occurs about
four or five day. So it’s a really big event and then, of course, the NBA finals happens after the
PlayOffs. So that is a very popular event as well. Some of the most popular players right now
would be Stephen Curry (Kawhi) [00:07:06], Kobe Bryant who just recently retired. Very popular as
well is Kevin Garnett, Kevin Durant, the list goes on and on. So a lot of (inint) [00:07:18] are
popular.
Teacher Ca: O Basketball que para nós é o Basquete, ele fala que também é um esporte muito
popular para eles em que a competição deles é extensa, muito grande, que começa no
winter/inverno e vai até a spring/primavera. Então realmente é uma grande temporada de
competição entre eles. E ele falou do NBA All Star Game que é um jogo com todas as grandes
estralas do NBA. Essa sigla para quem não sabe significa National Basketball
Association/Associação Nacional de Basquete. Ele também citou algumas grandes estrelas/stars to
Basketball. Como o Stephen Curry que é do Golden State.
William: Hocky is a very popular sport here but mostly in the northern part of the United States.
It’s played on Ice so as you can imagine more northern states that’ve experienced cold weather
enjoy playing Hocky. Stanley Cup is the number one goal of every Hocky team and, what’s ironic, is
that there are at least, three or four Hocky teams that play in the United State but they represents
cities in Canada. So Hocky association not only includes cities here in the United States but also
some in Canada, like in Vancouver and Ottawa.
Teacher Ca: O Hocky não é um esporte muito conhecido no Brasil, mesmo porque ele é um
esporte que é pra ser jogado on ince/no gelo, e como aqui nós não temos é meio difícil disto
acontecer. Mas como é jogado no gelo/on ice, ele é mais praticado no north part of the United
States/Na parte norte dos Estados Unidos. E ele também falou uma coisa muito curiosa para
gente: o William citou que além dos times deles, eles contam com times de outros países, do
Canada, para fazer parte da liga deles de esporte do Hocky. Então não fica só o Estados Unidos. Foi
essa dica que ele deu também que eu achei interessante.
William: When it comes to Football the number one day is Sunday. All day Sunday you can watch
professional Football. But I’ll also add that American Football is also at any age group is very
popular. So in the state of Texas, High-School Football, these are young men from fourteen to
eighteen it’s very popular for what we call ‘friday night light’. This is where whether you live in a
small town or big city, we go to large stadium to watch High-Schoolers play Football and it’s
extremely excited. And then on Saturday, all day Saturday, universities across the United States,
colleges as we call them, that’s when their Football games are. So all colleges football it’s played
on Saturday and you can from the morning to later at night watch as many games as you want.
It’s very exciting. I’ve been to some of these games and they’re extremely loud, they are very fun.
It’s a great place to be. And then on Sunday it’s when professional Football is played but also
there’s a monday night game and a thirsday night game. So before I actually took your phone call I
was looking at a thirsday night game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Denver Broncos.
So all of those days it’s filled up with an American Football.
Teacher Ca: Eu perguntei a ele quais os dias especiais, que as pessoas os torcedores iam aos
estádios assistir os jogos na televisão e ele focou no Amercian Football/Futebol Americano. Ele
disse que os High-Schoolers/os alunos de High-School eles tem o ‘friday night light’, que é o
grande jogo pra eles. Então é onde reune toda a cidade, o pessoal ali do local vão todos para este
jogo na Sexta-Feira.
No Sábado acontece o grande jogo dos ‘university students’, na verdade ele depois falou que eram
os ‘colleges students’ que são os alunos da universidade, que tem este campeonato aos Sábados.
Já o jogo da liga principal acontece aos Domingos que ele também disse que pode ocorrer nas
Segundas e nas Quintas-Feiras.
William: When it comes to Basketball it can be just about on any day you can imagine, from
Sunday all the way through Saturday there are games throughout the season that you can’t
attend, and it’s very fun. I’ve been to many of them before myself. I did not mention Baseball is
extremely popular here. It used to be the number one sport in America I would say. The way we
talked about it was we would say it, America pass time. Meaning that is the number one sport.
Baseball became less popular when the TV was invented and more people wanted to begin
watching Football. So that’s when Football took over Baseball. But Baseball is extremely popular.
Here in Texas we have two major teams, one of those the Houston Astros, won the world series
last year. And they’re in the PlayOffs this year as well. Those game can be held throughout the
week as well. There are very fun. I think they’re more excited to be at than to watch on TV as well.
Teacher Ca: Thanks a lot. Bye bye.
William: Bye bye.
Teacher Ca: Essa foi a nossa aula com o tutor William do Cambly falando de esportes. Vocês
gostaram? Eu sou a Teacher Ca. Espero vocês aqui no próximo episódio. Bye. Take care.
