Rio 2016: Are you a “sports nut”?





The Olympic Games in Rio were the theme of the first English Club meeting of the semester. The students watched one of the official videos, named “Together”, available on Youtube. They transcribed it and discussed the text. The words in the video emphasize the importance of sports and all the benefits its practice can bring to all of us. There was also a discussion on the sports the students consider exciting, boring, dangerous, etc. The teacher also gave the students a list of sports and asked them to place the verbs play, go or do next to each one of them. The teacher asked the students to say which medals Brazilian athletes had won and in which sports. At the end of the meeting the students watched a video with the highlights of London 2012 and listened to the song “If this is it”, by Newton Faulkner. They discussed its lyrics and related it to Rio 2016 and all the feelings the games bring.

  2. I haven´t really watched the games, but "artistic" sports like gymnastics make me
    excited. I really wish it could have roller skating in the Olympic, beacuse I´m a huge fan.
    I also enjoyed athletism.
