Listening exercise to do: Do women clean the house more often than men? (6 Minute English, BBC Learning English)
To start with, I will do a small biography of José Manuel Calderón.Calderón is a basketball player who plays in the Lakers team of the NBA. He was born the 28th of September, 1981. He measures 1.91 meters. He is the fourth basketball player who plays in the NBA. He has been playing in the national team since 2002, when he debuted vs Croatia. So far he has won too many titles such as three medals at the Olympic Games,five medals Eurobasket and many more.
ResponderEliminarNowadays, Calderón plays in the Lakers team. He wears the number five on his back. His position on the basketball court is base. I don't wach many basketball matches but I've heard many times the name Calderón in the news because of the great player who is. The last 30th of August he decided to leave the national team because he wants to concentrate on his team (The Lakers). What a pity!!
From my point of view, Manuel Calderón is one of the best Spanish basketball players of the world, however, there are more such as Pau Gasul, Marc Gasol, Rudy, Sergio LLul......Although, I think Pau Gasol is the best.

José Manuel Calderón Borrallo was born in Villanueva de la Serena, Badajoz, Spain in 28th September in 1981. He is a famous Spanish basketball player who currently plays in Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA.
ResponderEliminarOne of his most famous achievements was in 2006 in Japon in the FIBA World Championship where he won with Spain a medal gold. Another important accomplishment was in Lituania in 2011 in the Eurobasket where he also won a medal gold.
Many TV channels have talked about him in the news lately, because he has retired from the Spain selection. It is sad, because he was one of the best, but it is life, he is becoming older so he wants to concentrate in the NBA.
All in all, I think he is one of the best Spanish basketball players in the world and he is as good as Pau Gasol and Felipe Reyes. I respect his decision of retirement and I hope that more players like him arrive at the Spanish national team.

Firstly, I'll start syaing a Little biography about him. He was born in a Little village in Badajoz, in 28th September in 1981. He is a famous basketball players whose team is Los Ángeles Lakers.
ResponderEliminarBesides this, Since 2009 he collaborates with Unicef, first as a Friend of UNICEF Extremadura Committee. In August 2014 and as an ambassador for UNICEF Spanish Committee.
Besides this, Calderon began his career in the NBA in 2005-06, and started better than expected, since in his second match scored 20 points against New Jersey Nets.
Also, to tell the truth, he has many personal awards, such as, Most Improved Player in 2001-02 ACB season by the magazine "Giants of the Basket", Spanish first player to win a playoff game in the NBA or the historical record for free throw percentage in a season in the NBA (98.1%) achieved in the 2008-09 season.
In conclussion, from my point of view, he is one of the bettest and importants basketball players in the world, he leaves nothing to envy of other players, he is perfectly is as good as Paul Gasol or more.

ResponderEliminarFor a start, I am going to write about José Manuel Calderón. He was born in Villanueva de la Serena, Spain on 28th September, 1981. He is a prefessional basketball player; he plays so well that he is often called Mr. Catering. Nowadays, he plays in Los Angeles Lakers of the NBA as base and wears the number 5. Since 2009 he has collaborated with UNICEF.
ResponderEliminarOn the one hand, he has played in the Toronto Raptors,Detroit Piston, Dallas Mavericks, and New York Knicks. He also played in Spanish teams before he went to NBA.
On the other hand, he has won three Olympic medals, silver in 2008 and in 2012 and bronze this year. With the Spanish national team he also has too many important awards. He won four Eurobasket titles, a gold among them and another gold in the FIBA World Championship in 2011, which was celebrated in Lithuania.
All in all, he is the fourth Spanish that plays in the NBA, after Fernando Martín, Pau Gasol and Raúl López. I think he is such a great player. He might have a bigger impact in LA, because he decided to quit the Spanish national team to concentrate more in his team.

During the 2006-2007 season he managed to win the NBA Atlantic Division championship.On 7th December 2006, he suffered a terrible back injury and had to be carried off the field on a stretcher.
Jose Calderón announced that he ended his career with the Spanish national team. A career that began in 2002 and in which the playmaker from Extremadura, has won a total of eight medals, becoming one of the best game directors game in the history of Spanish.
n my opinion, Jose Calderón is one of the best baketball players. It's a shame that he won't play for Spain any more. José Calderón will be one of few who will always be remembered always and of course many of this peers; Sergio Llull, Pau Gasol, Felipe Reyes, Ricky Rubio, Juan C. Navarro, Sergio Rodríguez, Rudy Fernandez..etc. Although the best without doubt for me is Pau Gasol.

However,I have ever heard the name of Calderon, maybe because he's a great player. According to what I've just read, Calderon is quiet intelligent, cheerful and confident. In addiction, I also think that he's very generous as he collaborates with UNICEF since 2009.
