Semester 2 Week 3 discussion - America

Anything you want. Trump, Guns, Sports, Nature ....

Hello John,
America is a dream for all peoples who don't lived or visited this country. Personnally if i go to America i wan't to see a basketball play of Cleeveland Cavaliers because their are my favorite NBA team.
Today America have changed because Trump take the power and lost of his softpower.

This week and for this topic, I would like to talk about American politics.
For 2 years now, Trump is the President of United States of America. One of his most striking arguments was the construction of a wall separating the United States from Mexico. What about today?

Still topical, but waiting because of a lack of funds, this very controversial subject divides the different American political parties.
Small reminder of the troops: there are two main parties in the United States, the Republicans and the Democrats.
In our case, Trump is fighting against the Democratic party to make the construction of this "iron wall" possible. But spending $ 5.3 billion on this project seems not acceptable to them.
This is why this project is not yet completed.

Moreover, it highlights Trump's isolationist and unilateralist policies.
Indeed, focused on his country, many politicians would like that this policy remains open to the world to answer larger problems such as globalization and global warming.

America is for me one of my dream travel destinations. Going to America is an obective. What attracts me in this destination is the diversity of the landscape: one can go from a desert to a tropical beach, from a huge city to a slum. There are also many natural parks, very well known that I would like to see. There is a lot of news on television but soon it will be my turn !

Hello John, today we'll talk about USA so I decided to speak about american's sports (of course), as you know I play baseball since 7 years so I have a little bit the american culture and this is why I also enjoy basketball and football. What I'm fond of in american's sport is the show, the games last some hours, there's music, noise. The sensations are the greatest, when you hit a ball, feel the vibration and see the ball going far ( I hope you know this sensation John cause if not you were not a great 5th hitter ahah). This is the same for a "switch" in Basketball, I have played soccer for 6 years and i never feel this sensation by scoring a goal. America is great for sport but I don't agree with some of there politic decisions(immigration, guns, ...)  Brief all that to say that America is the country of superlatives, but as the other there are Pros and Cons.

When I was a little girl, America was a dream for me to travel there one day. The most practiced sports are American football, ice hockey, Baseball, basketball... Some sports that are also practiced in France we even have different rules.Like for example basketball or games this plays in 4 sequence of 12 minute unlike us or a match this plays in 4 sequence of 10 minute

I would really like to travel to the United States and maybe even live there. If I go one day in this country, I want to start on the east coast and end up on the west coast. first I would visit New York, then Washington. I would then go in the south to Miami to be able to sunbathe on Miami beach. I would then like to take the road 66 to the West where I would like to go to Las Vegas and San Francisco to finally finish my road trip in Los Angeles, which is one of my favorite cities.
And if I decide to stay there, I don’t know yet which city to choose between New-York and los Angeles

The United States occupies an important place in the music, France for example is strongly influenced. The music of the United States is rich of varied styles (jazz, blues, country, …) which spread all over the world through the waves of immigration. The conséquences of this phenomen are strongly visible in the 21st century because we can see that on the radio more than half of the sounds, are in English.

America is an exceptional continent with sumptuous landscapes. It one is dreamed to visit it because there is full with different cultures. My preferred country of this vast continent is Brazil. Indeed, I like the Latin, football culture and the festive aspect which represents this country and which represents me too.

Today i would talk about the landscapes of united states. There is many beautiful landscapes in united states like statue of liberty in new York, the walk of fame in Los Angeles or the great canyon in Arizona. United States have the specifity to present so much types of landscapes, fron the building of new York to desert in Arizona to the snow at the Canadian border.

Hello John, I’m going to talk about a continent that is America. America is a magnificent continent to go on holiday because of the different landscapes that cover it like the waterfalls of Mexico for example. America is home to many different populations, which makes it a wonderful and pleasant continent to visit because many interesting things are discovered such as monuments such as the status of freedom in the United States.

hello John,
In America, sport is very important. The most popular team sports are: American football, baseball, basketball and ice hockey. In the United States, as many people play sport as watch it. Sport is considered an excellent vehicle for American values: competition, fair play, performance and surpassing oneself.

The United States is dreaming of the whole world by all these liberties, as well as the mentality of the Americans. All times the United States remains very much criticized. I am going to talk to you about something that is close to my heart. I am an opprational reservist in the army and I am able to be projected on a theater of external operation. Like any good soldier I have therefore reseigné on the countries in conflict as well as nations already deployed. In every testimony that one can easily find, one sees that regularly reveins the behavior of the American soldiers. It's military for the most part, violent, impolite and without compactions. They are therefore frowned upon and welcomed by the civilian population.
The French say they think they are the best.
Then many times we saw the United States engaged in conflict for mere economic interest. As was the case for the golf war.

Frozen Arctic winds brought record-low temperatures across much of the US Midwest on Wednesday. A meteorologist said some of the coldest wind chills were recorded in International Falls, Minnesota, at minus 48 degrees. Even the South Pole in Antarctica was warmer, with an expected low of minus 31 degrees with wind chill. The profound freeze in the US came as Australia contended with record heat in its summer. The hot and cold extremes are a feature of global climate change, which drives more pronounced swings in weather and temperature. While a small but vocal minority of people might use the faulty logic of “it’s cold where I am, therefore global warming isn’t real” even schoolchildren know that weather isn’t climate. As said the french writer St Exupéry: "We do not inherit the land of our ancestors, we borrow it from our children"
So we must do something to save our planet!

Hi John, America is really a reference in all areas: fashion, sport, travel... The sport I like the most in America is basketball because it’s a real TV show. I watch the games on the weekend because it’s late at night. It’s really incredible. There is a lot of action and the spectators are fantastic. I hope one day I can see a real NBA game in America.

Hi John ! today i would like to talk about America. So the United states dominates economicatelly in the world because They USA is a big military power "hard power", a big power economics, a big power of decision and influence "softpower".
IN USA a particulary city represent united state is N-Y with many tourist or california, san diego,washington d-c

I decided to tell you about Captain America today who is a comic book superhero evolving in the Marvel universe of the Marvel Comics publishing house. Created by cartoonist Jack Kirby and screenwriter Joe Simon, the fiction character appears for the first time in the comic book Captain America Comics #1 in December 1940

Originally conceived as an American patriotic figure in reaction to the Nazi regime, the character became active even before the US entered the official war in the Second World War. From the beginning of his publication, he was perceived as the flag-bearer of his country’s democratic values and as a defender of the free world against totalitarianism, in particular the Third Reich.

America for me is a dream destination, American life is idealistic. I would like to go with my family, because I have my aunt who lives in Philadelphia, the food attracts me a lot, but also the stores ..

Homework is to be done not in classtime !!!!

I would like to go to Cuba, this is one of my projects. Its kilometers of beaches lined with coral reefs are the color of mother-of-pearl, its mountain ranges are tinged with the deep green of the tropical forests, its towns adorn itself with Hispano-colonial architecture with often unbridled colors, and its people, as if sucked in a temporal interlude, between beautiful americans and carrioles, make me dream ...
