Q1
Have you ever been to any baseball games? If not, how do you imagine they would be like?
A.
Yes, I have been to a baseball game. Baseball games are very popular in the United States. I went only once to a baseball game because I am more an American football fan than baseball. But the one time that I went to a baseball game, it was very exciting! I did not know all the rules but that did not matter. Besides the game, the atmosphere of the stadium was very exciting and many things kept me entertained. The snacks, the kiss cam, and the “wave” made it all very exciting! I would go again if I had the chance.
