Parte de la tarea cada dia esta leer y escuchar una historia en Duolingo. Por hoy, leo la historia "The Boxing Match". It's a story about a grandmother and her granddaughter watching a boxing match at a bar. The granddaughter is bored and wants to go home to watch what sounds to me like a version of "The Bachelor". To the grandmother watching that sounds just as boring.
I would side with the grandmother on this. I remember as a little girl I watched boxing with my dad. I didn't understand all the rules, but I could appreciate the athleticism, plus the time with my dad. He was a big Muhammad Ali fan.
I found this clip (with Spanish subtitles 😉). It's interesting to hear about his life and career as an adult.
On a side note, since we're not supposed to memorize or write anything down. I'm going to take the extra time I have on the weekend to re-listen to the Language Transfer lessons. We're up to Lesson 20 today!
Boxing was so big around then!!
