Introduction
Welcome to your English class space!
Let me tell you that this week we are going to learn about different countries around the world,

Katherine is from Brazil. She is Brazilian
Meybel is from USA. She is American
Rodrigo is from Canada. He is Canadian
Joseph is from the United Kingdom. He is British
Fausto is from Spain. He is Spanish
Cristiano is from Portugal. He is Portuguese
It is necessary to clear that even in Spanish sounds good to ask a person.
What is your nationality? ; In spoken English it is usually used the questions: Where are you from?
Or where do you come from? On the other hand, to tell someone your nationality you do not say:
My nationality is Salvadoran.
you must say
I´m Salvadoran
