Introducción 

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

Antes de casarse con Frida Kahlo en 1929, Diego Rivera contrajo nupcias con la novelista Guadalupe Marín en 1922. La recepción de la boda se llevó a cabo en el Café de Tacuba.

Entre los varios presidentes que solían comer en este gran restaurante, Porfirio Díaz es el más recordado. De igual forma, el compositor Agustín Lara gustaba de visitar el lugar y deleitarse con los riquísimos platillos de la cocina mexicana.

Un 25 de junio de 1936, un atacante entró al Café de Tacuba y le disparó al entonces gobernador de Veracruz, Manlio Fabio Altamirano Flores. El político se encontraba comiendo con su esposa, y poco sabía que esa iba a ser su última comida?

En 1978 se filmaron algunas escenas del filme Los hijos de Sánchez, una cinta que se basó en la novela de Oscar Lewis, The Children of Sanchez. Cabe aclarar, que el autor de este libro se inspiró en uno de los primeros empleados del Café de Tacuba para el personaje de Santos Hernández.

En 1999 un incendio quemó una buena parte del salón principal. Afortunadamente, las llamaradas solamente arrasaron con un poco del mobiliario y algunos objetos de decoración. La estructura del salón quedó intacta, gracias a la labor de los bomberos que llegaron al pronto rescate. Como agradecimiento, el restaurante los invitó a desayunar una vez que el Café de Tacuba volvió a abrir sus puertas.

There is so much professional Business English vocabulary that we can use at work that originally came from sports! In this podcast we're talking about phrasal verbs, idioms, nouns and verbs that we can take from football, athletics, and the Olympic games, and use at work to improve the way that we communicate in English. So, if you want to express your ideas more clearly in meetings, explain your experience better in job interviews, or make your presentations sound a little more natural and native then hopefully you'll find this episode really useful. Also, if you're taking an IELTS test soon, either the general or academic test, then this is all great vocabulary to take into the exam with you. Especially for the speaking part of the test where informal, natural, and native vocabulary is encouraged!
