I think Duke is an effective communicator. Even though he is Korean, he can speak relatively well. However that is not what makes Duke such a good communicator. He is able to explain almost anything even if he doesn't know the word in english. He also uses hand signs to explain his actions.  He also has a way of making you be able his ideas even if they seem absurd at first. I think this is what makes Duke such an effective communicator. He can explain anything and will not give up till you understand what he is saying or explaining. He is determined to make sure that everyone understands what he is saying. He can also communicate in other ways. We can communicate through head nods and understand what the other person is saying. Through this way we can even pass jokes to each other. 

Soccer Poem

I love the following poem because it expresses the true passion of the greatest sport on Earth, Soccer.
Soccer.
A large number had gathered,
Lots more had crowded;
They came with a common view,
And wore a particular hue;
From the beginning of the game,
They looked the same;
But time would tell-
If everything went well,
There should be a winner,
Before we took our dinner;
We were sharing our passions,
In front of our televisions.

The poet shows a deep understanding of the soccer game.
At first the poet says that many people have come to watch the soccer match and explains that many people have sat down in front of their televisions to watch the match. He says that they came to see many goals being scored and that they supported a particular team. The poet also says that the supporters have come to see many goals being scored. The supporters looked the same always hopeful. When the poet says only time will tell he is referring to the fact that only after 90 minutes the winner will be decided. The poet also says that the winner should be decided before dinner. And the last thing the poet says is the most important, that no matter what happens they will share passion.
