Nutmeg es un tunel en Futbol, así le decimos en Venezuela
good comment ! i like the sentences with a idiomatic expresions
I really like your description. Well done!
The fluency of the teacher is awesome <3 He sounds almost like a native (i'm guessing he isn't and if he is, my apologies) I said that because he sounds like a non-native that has achieved a high enough level to go by like a true native.
I hope i made myself clear xp.
Of course, you can do it too! I know. 🥺 You can follow the teacher on Twitter. 👀
In the order of the ideas is as foloows: She runs away from the house, She carries on a gun, She jumps into the car, She dissapears from the scene, So to descrives this live event maybe is: She runs away from the house, She is carries a gun and approaches to the car, jumps inside of it and dissapears from the scene...
A little mistake: if you use the simple present (-s or -es in the case of 3th person), you can't use the verb to be (is, in this case).
They start the race.
Bolt speeds up and leaves his opponents.
Bolts wins the race, and his Jamaican mate wins the second place.
She runs out of a house. She goes down the stairs. She jumps into a red car. She flees to an unknown place.

Como puedo entenderte si no hay subtitulo español ? Como podría hacer ?
Hola, Mayrely. Podrías probar con los cursos básicos primero para ganar habilidades de listening y reading. Si bien todavía no puedes verlos en español si puedes poner los subtítulos en inglés. 💚
Hola, cuando me pasa esto por lo general lo que yo hago es colocar subtítulos en ingles e ir pausando y entendiendo lo que el profe dice.
en vez de ser un problema, lo podemos ver como una oportunidad de practicar listening, aprender vocabulario, y si lo pasas a un traductor también practicar writing.

Describing Live Events in English: A Complete Guide
Welcome to the first module of the course! This module introduces learners to the art of describing live events using the present simple tense and connectors of sequence. The focus is on understanding and practicing running commentaries, often used in live sports, news, or unfolding dramatic events.
What Is a Running Commentary?
A running commentary is a real-time description of an event as it unfolds. It's commonly used in:
The primary aim is to narrate what's happening at the moment with clarity and immediacy, helping the listener follow the event as if they were watching it live.
Using the Present Simple Tense
When describing live events, we use the simple present tense. This tense gives the impression that the action is happening right now—even though the present simple is often used for habitual actions.
Key Rules to Remember
Examples
These examples help reinforce the importance of verb agreement in real-time descriptions.
Example 1: Describing a Soccer Match
Scenario:
You're watching a live soccer match.
Suggested Verbs:
Sample Description:
He passes the ball to Ronaldo. Ronaldo runs past the defender. He shoots and scores. It's a brilliant finish!
This illustrates how present simple verbs create a dynamic, immediate narrative.
Example 2: Describing a Live Escape Scene
Scenario:
A person is fleeing from a location.
Suggested Verbs:
Sample Description:
She runs out of the house. She carries a small bag. She jumps into the car and flees from the scene.
By choosing vivid verbs and maintaining the correct tense, the scene becomes lively and engaging.
Example 3: Describing a Competition
Scenario:
You're narrating a competition from beginning to end.
Instructions:
Hypothetical Description:
He steps onto the platform. He lifts the barbell and holds it overhead. The crowd cheers as he completes the lift.
These detailed steps not only narrate the action but also emphasize the importance of grammar accuracy in live description.
