Keep Calm and Carry On Living Life in the UK

Keep Calm and Play What?
During my time in England I learned
that they call tag ‘it’. At first I was
REALLY confused because it is a word
that people use in their everyday life
like, ‘it bit me’. Another thing I noticed
is that they call football rugby. At
first I thought it was a name but then
I realized it was the English way of
saying football.

My first prompt is the difference and
similarities about British football
and American football. One difference is that in American
football you mainly use your hands. However, in British football you use your feet. A
similarity is that both sports have an offense and defense. But in American football
the offense and defense are on the field at different times.
Another difference is the
shape of the two balls. The
American football is an
eye sort of shape just in
3D. The British football
is a sphere. Another
similarity is that they
basically have the same
concept, but American
football is about
reaching touchdowns
and British football is
about kicking a goal.
In conclusion I think
that a similarity is
that both sports are
special in their
own way.
