Charlize Theron at the World Cup draw
Dec 03rd 2009 04:17
This article is from my blog. There are several sentences which I'm not sure how I should say, especially the second sentence. I also feel that the title is strange. I wanted to make it simple.
Please give me advice.
-------------------------------------------
FIFA announced that Charlize Theron, who is one of my favorite actresses, will serve as co-host of Friday's World Cup draw in Cape Town. I thought why she, but now that I think about it, that's because she is from South Africa.
I'm very interested in the result of the draw, but in Japan, it will be broadcast on TV during midnight, so I planned to see the result on news next morning. But Charlize Theron will appear, so maybe I'll watch it.
-------------------------------------------
By the way, are you looking forward to the FIFA World Cup? If you are from the US, you might not be very interested in it. But European, South American and African people must be so excited. Which country do you cheer for? As for me, England and Denmark!

There are several sentences that I'm not sure how I should say, especially the second sentence.
I wondered, "why her?" But now that I think about it, that's because she is from South Africa. (I wondered why they selected her.)
I'm very interested in the result of the draw, but in Japan, it will be broadcast on TV during midnight, so I planned to see the results on the news next morning.
But European, South American and African people must be very excited.
As for me, it's England and Denmark!
There isn't any country I particularly root for, I just want to see good matches. Spain and Brazil should entertain this year, I look forward to seeing some positive games from them.
As you say, club soccer shows higher level games.
Thank you for your corrections and comment!
Charlize Theron at the World Cup Draw
There are several sentences that I'm not sure say what I want them to say, especially the second sentence. [This is difficult to correct, because the meaning is clear, but the usage is unnatural. There are many better options, but I just picked one.]
I wanted to keep it simple.
FIFA announced that Charlize Theron, who is one of my favorite actresses, will serve as co-host of Friday's World Cup draw in Cape Town.
I wondered "why her?," but now that I think about it, it's because she is from South Africa.
I'm very interested in the result of the draw, but in Japan, it will be broadcast on TV [broadcast implies TV, so redundant in normal English] at midnight, so I planned to see the results on the news tomorrow morning.
I actually have several soccer jerseys I use for running, and I have two countries -- USA (my oldest jersey) and Japan (because I live here).
But it reads more naturally that way "Saturday morning" than "the next morning" although both are correct.
Yes, America beat Spain. American people must have been very excited!
Oh, you have a blue Japan jersey. (^.^)
