Speaking Reflection
On Tuesday, I met a guy in Shaffer Hall, we were watching the semifinal UEFA Champions League match between FC Barcelona from Spain and Internazionale from Italy. He was a fan of FC Barcelona. I talked to him before the second half of the match. I asked him why he likes this team, he said that he likes it because it is most popular team worldwild and powerful team. FC Barcelona has a good names, he meant by good names that the team has skillful players. He likes Messi and he said that Messi is going to be a famous player like Maradona. I provoked him by saying that your team isn’t gonna win today, he replied to me that his team is the best one, I said let’s see and I added that the italian team has an excellent coach. When the second half started the italian team scored their second goal at its beginning. He got upset of that while I was loughing on him and I said to him “ I am right, I know this italian team, it has a briliant coach”. He said that the second half has just started, we have much time to defeat them. When the time was in 61 minutes the italian team scored their third goal. The guy looked at me and I said “no comment”. FC Barcelona players got upset, they played in more violent way and they got yellow cards as a warning to them. We watched till the end of the match. I enjoyed watching it but the guy was upset because his favorite team has been defeated. At the end, I said to him “good luck”.

Hey my friends
I have met an american citizen which he is a german in native. I have had a conversation with him. He have attracted me when he told that he is a german in native. I like Germany. I have spoken with him about Autobahn road which is one of the famous roads worldwild. In Autobahn road you can drive unlimited speed. Beside it is unlimited speed road it covered with a lot of cameras. I was wandering what these cameras for? finally I got the answer from him. He said that these cameras is for controlling, the road is controlled by police. Police watches the road twinty four hours. If an accedant happens, they will go to it as fast as possible. the reason of that is to prevent further accedants because of it is unlimited speed road. The other purposes of that cameras are the police that make sure that the drivers wear their seat belts, the drivers pass over the other cars from the left side and they don’t do bad things. The ticket there is too much, sometimes it reaches more than one thousand euro. I think you have to have Ferarri to have fun at that road.
These are signs for autobahn which on the left and no limit speed on the right.

Thanks
