Past simple

Did you know that breakdancing was included as an official sport in the Olympics for the first time in Paris?

Modal verbs - A2

This year, for the first time, you could watch dancers from different countries show off their breakdancing skills at the Olympics.

To-infinitive

It's a pretty smart move by the organizers to attract a younger audience who might think the Olympics are boring.

During the Paris Olympics, quite a few memes popped up, but one of the funniest and most popular is about an Australian breakdancer.

Ray Gunn the stage name of 36-year-old Australian breakdancer Rachel Gunn.

Gunn is also a professor at Macquarie University.

She's been into breakdancing since 2008, so she's been doing it professionally for almost 15 years.

But Ray Gunn didn't make it past the day's event, scoring zero points in...

I wouldn't say people were laughing at her failure, but they were surprised by how unprofessional her dance looked compared to others.

It was like a younger sibling showing off what they learned at summer camp.

And of course, people couldn't resist mentioning that Rachel Gunn has a Ph.D. in cultural studies, specializing in breakdancing culture.

But just because she knows so much about it doesn't mean she has to dance as well as the pros at world championships.

Either way, the situation is pretty funny and entertaining.
