Hi Santiago!
The Football World Cup is coming to an end. You said you liked football.
This is your next task.
Choose a country and write about it. (flag, size, importance, language, continent)
Then choose a football player and write about him. (nationality, age, description, abilities, hobbies, football team)
After that, google " Fair Play"
What is it? Were there any examples of "Fair Play" in the World Cup?
Well, Santiago, I will be getting in touch with you after the winter break, the first week in August!
Hi, how are you doing?
ResponderBorrarI hope that this very very well really. The country you chose is Spain.
Spanish flag: The flag of Spain, known as "la Rojigualda", was adopted with all its current elements on October 5, 1981 when the law establishing the latest version of the national coat of arms was passed. Previously, the Constitution of 1978 specified in Article 4.1:
The flag of Spain is formed by three horizontal stripes, red, yellow and red, being the yellow of double width that each one of the red ones.
Article 4.1 of the Spanish Constitution.
The current flag is based on the same design that was adopted as the national flag of Spain in 1785 and in which, except for the design adopted between 1931 and 1939 in the Second Republic, only the shield model has been changing.
Size: Area: 505,990 km²
Importance: Spain in the globalized world
The international financial and economic crisis of recent years highlighted the high degree of interdependence of the world economies, whose activity transcends national borders in an increasingly globalized world. Although in times of crisis globalization poses a risk, the theorists of multilateral organizations defend it as an engine of development, something that has been key in the Spanish case, which has gone from being the most closed European economy during the first part of the Franco's dictatorship to be among the first economies in the world.
Spain occupies the thirteenth place in the list of world economies prepared by the International Monetary Fund (IMF), having a GDP close to 1.1 billion euros. However, the crisis has led to the advance in this classification by countries such as Canada, India, Russia and Australia, which have removed the possibility that it can return to be among the top ten in the medium term. The Spanish foreign sector has remained strong despite the crisis and is currently the only pillar of the economy that provides growth, compared to a national demand that remains stagnant or falling.
Spanish exports of goods rose by 1.7% during 2016, reaching 254,530.2 million euros, according to data from the National Institute of Statistics (INE). Regarding the imports of goods and services, they decreased by 0.4% compared to the previous year and stood at 273,284.2 million euros. As a result, the commercial balance registered a deficit of 18,753.9 million euros in the period, 22.4% less than in 2015.
The World Trade Organization (WTO) places Spain in the eighteenth position in the world ranking of exporters, at the same level as countries such as the United Arab Emirates and India. In addition, according to the 2016 WTO report, Spain is the eleventh world power in the sale of services. While in imports Spain occupies the fifteenth place, next to countries such as Mexico, Russia and Singapore.
ResponderBorrarAnother of the economic indicators that place Spain in the globalized world is competitiveness, prepared by the World Economic Forum, which places it in 34th place in a list of 137 economies, classified by the level of exports in relation to quality of life of the population.
The factors that place Spain in the upper reaches of competitiveness are the quality of its transport infrastructures -recognized with the tenth absolute position-, the size of its market or the high rates of enrollment in higher education, as well as the good level of the country in the implementation of information and communication technologies.
Faced with these strengths, the World Economic Forum points out weaknesses that damage competitiveness such as macroeconomic imbalances, the imbalance of public accounts, local corruption, lack of credit and insufficient spending on research, development and innovation, which is considered crucial as an element for the economic transformation of a country.

Fair play is a term widely used to describe loyal and sincere behavior, as well as correct, in sports; especially fraternal towards the opponent or opponent, respectful before the referee and appropriate with the assistants.
Yes, there was Fair Play in the World Cups. Especially in the Japanese national team which allowed him to go to the group stage in the 2018 World Cup Russia
Well done, Santiago!
