Week 24th – 26th
Hello! How are you doing?
Not so bad, although
I hate this change of the hour! It takes me about two months to get used to (to get accustomed to)
it!
We started last week
reading how to move around in San Francisco.
BART, which stands for
Bay Area Rapid Transit, started running from the airport to the city in 2003.
Taking a taxi means
giving a tip
of 10% of the fare
(the cost of the ride).
We went on (continued) talking about children’s diet.
Do you think they’re overweight because
they don’t do much exercise?
·
Is it because parents don’t have many meals
in family?
·
Or is it because there are too many food
adverts on TV?
It
seems to the
writer that playing computer games isn’t good for children, but Carlos disagrees.
According to
him, and his IT (Information Technology)
professor, computer games help to develop three- dimensional visual perception.
I don’t know why, but
we ended up
(starting
talking about something but finally we talked about something completely different)
debating about:
· What age
should somebody start learning English? When they are
children? When they are adults?
· Is it good
to study science in English and not in Spanish in Spanish schools?
· Is it good
to do homework with your kids?
· Is it good
for them to have an adult sitting next to them while they do their homework?
It was really
interesting because we shared our opinions.
It was a week for
debates! Because we ended the week with some more tricky issues:
Who talks more about…
…sport, work,
clothes, health, cars, politics, family the opposite sex…men or women?
We started doing a
test (an experiment).Guys, talk for two minutes about clothes, shopping, losing
weight.
Girls, talk about
sport, cars, computers.
Unfortunately we ran out of time
(time finished) and we couldn’t complete the experiment. We’ll
continue tomorrow.
See you!
And remember: “The earliest
bird catches the worm!”
