The Genesis 

PHIL: What time is that soccer game on? I thought it started 
at noon.
JACK: We must have had the wrong time. Oh, well … soccer’s not my 
favorite sport anyway. I much prefer basketball.
PHIL: Oh, really? I thought your favorite sport was tennis! I’m a big
fan of basketball, too.
JACK: How about a game sometime?
PHIL: Sure thing! Why don’t we go shoot some hoops now since the 
soccer game isn’t on?
JACK: Excellent idea. Let’s go.



LANGUAGE NOTES
• What time is that soccer game on? means “When does the soccer game start?” 
“What time” plus something plus “on” is a common expression used to ask about the 
start time of a TV show or a movie.
• I much prefer basketball here means “I like basketball a lot more than soccer.” Notice 
how “much” is stressed to show that the speaker really likes basketball.
• Oh, really? Notice the rising intonation on “really.” This shows that the speaker is 
surprised. He thought that Jack liked tennis the best.
• I’m a big fan of basketball is a way of saying “I like basketball very much” (“to be a 
fan of” is a casual expression used to describe something you really like).
• How about a game here means “Let’s play a basketball game.”
• Sure thing! This is a casual expression used to mean “OK.”
• Shoot some hoops means to play an informal game of basketball. This is a casual 
expression used between friends

Day 23: Favorite sport

El Carbonero es una canción folklórica de El Salvador considerada por muchos salvadoreños como un segundo himno nacional, ya que relata las costumbres de la época. Esta canción es bastante conocida y es incluso representada en actividades culturales por personas que la bailan vistiendo trajes típicos.

Esta canción popular fue creación de don Pancho Lara (Francisco Antonio Lara Hernández), nacido en 1900 en la hacienda La Presa en Santa Ana, poeta y músico al que se le atribuyen alrededor de 400 composiciones, muchas infantiles y las mas famosas de perfil folclórico y popular.

En síntesis El carbonero trata de un personaje de orígenes humildes que baja de las cumbres cargando carbón de madera que venderá en las calles de pueblos y el mercado.
impresiona la capacidad lírica y el poder de concreción de don Pancho Lara, quien murió el 12 de mayo de 1989 y que fue declarado Hijo Meritísimo de El Salvador un mes después. “El Carbonero” es un legado para El Salvador.
