Questões de Inglês - Reading/Writing - Memoir

    I remember being caught speaking Spanish at recess [...] I remember being sent to the corner of the classroom for "talking back" to the Anglo teacher when all I was trying to do was tell her how to pronounce my name. "If you want to be American, speak 'American'. If you don't like it, go back to Mexico where you belong".

    "I want you to speak English [...]", my mother would say, mortified that I spoke English like a Mexican. At Pan American University, I and all Chicano students were required to take two speech classes. Their purpose: to get rid of our accents.

FIFA Fair Play

[1]     The generic concept of fair play is a fundamental

part of the game of football. It represents the positive

benefits of playing by the rules, using common sense and

[4] respecting fellow players, referees, opponents and fans.

         The Fair Play Campaign was conceived largely as

an indirect result of the 1986 FIFA World Cup™ in Mexico,

[7] when the handball goal by Diego Maradona stimulated the

admirable reaction of the England coach, Sir Bobby Robson.

Since then, the campaign has had the unconditional support

[10] of former FIFA President João Havelange and his successor,

current President Joseph S. Blatter.

         To give fair play more visibility, FIFA created a

[13] programme that turned the generic notion into a simple

design and an easy to understand code of conduct that could

be recognized and respected by players and fans alike.

[16]   Fair Play has a fundamental role in sport and there

is a need to apply it to all sporting activities, especially

children’s. Children need strong values to grow up with, and

[19] football, being a team sport, makes them realize how

essential discipline, respect, team spirit and fair play are for

the game and for life.
