No, that is not what I meant. Oh, that doesnt matter. Just read. All right. Situation 6 Reading (The following i
19、s the content of Kevins reading from U.S. History book.) World War Two began in Europe. Europe is very far from United States and so, at first, United States was not concerned. But the longer the war went, the more the Unite States worried. Even though the United States itself was safe, many of its
20、friends in Europe were in danger. England, in particular, was suffering from attacks by Nazi Germany. Still, this was not enough to get the United States to fight. Some people from the United States even went to Canada to join the Canadian army and fight in Europe. World War Two is a true world war
21、because it was fought in both Europe and Asia. In Asia, the Japanese were as bad as Germans were in Europe. Finally, in 1941, the Japanese bombed the United States Navy at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Only then did the United States join the fight in World War Two. (Ms. ONeal stops Kevin.) Kevin, what do y
22、ou think of this reading?s very interesting. My grandfather told me he joined the army in 1943, so that is after Pearl Harbor. Very good. You see why history is important. In history we learn not only about our country but also about our families and ourselves. Yeah, when I think about it like that
23、history is pretty fun after all. What do you mean after all? Does that mean it was boring before? No, thats not what I meant. s okay. You can be honest. Honestly, it was a little boring.

24、all coach. Knight: Okay, class, today we are going to play football. Mr. Knight, we played football all the week. Cant we play a different game? What other game is there? Football is the best game there is. t think so. What do you think is the best game? No one game is the best, but I like soccer. Soccer? Soccer is for girls and Europeans. Americans play football. But I like soccer. And my friend from Brazil says soccer should be called football. There is only one football. Yeah, but my friend says you play soccer with your feet and so it should be called football. He also says that you play
