This is a poem translated into English from French. In French, it sounds brilliant; it rhymes and flows with rhythmn. In English, it's not so good - as you can see. Your task is to rewrite it: chop it, change it, add stuff, take stuff away, etcetera, etcetera.
Citizens of the World
We spend our holidays in Spain,
Our trainers are made in South Korea
Our orange juice comes from Israel,
We calculate in Arabic figures.
We eat Italian spaghetti
We use a Latin alphabet,
Our video games come from Japan,
Our shirts come from Portugal,
Our jeans come from United States.
Our favourite singer comes from North Africa,
Our book was printed in Hong Kong,
We watch American films,
Our socks come from China.
Our favourite footballer comes from South America
And we can surf anywhere in the world.
The world is our home.
I am a citizen of planet Earth.
