7. EDUCATION:
 The laptops and smartphones
 A machine that could help us stop global warming and
to prevent it in the future.
 For me a project is to increase and develop your
knowledge about a topic, based on the notes I took in
class. And for me the notes are what do I think are the
most important or relevant things about a certain topic I
wrote in my notebook during the class.
 I think the thing I would change about my school are the
desks in the classrooms because they are too close to
each other and it makes it uncomfortable.
 I would say that “if you want to know what you are able
to do and make a change just try it, but if you don´t
try, how do you expect this world to get better”.

8. TECHNOLOGY:
 The social networks help us to exchange efficiently, quickly and worldwide
information, but if we don’t know how, where and when we can use them or
we use them for negative ends, that’s not the way social networks are
supposed to be created.
 Yes but in two different ways, the first one: trough internet people can pretend
to be somebody that he or she is not, and the second: it helps us to expand
and improve our communication system.
 Probably here the technological advances are overpassing the social
progress, we can see this in the field towns but this is lead from the economic
possibilities.
 The technological improvements keep going day by day so almost every day
we can see something different, so the technology from two years nowadays is
almost old-fashion and unattractive to a great part of population.
 The technologies are doing both thins improving and getting the society worst.
A) Improving it: they make a faster communication network, they also bring
security and health. B)getting it worst: because it’s very difficult to talk to
peoples face because they pass the great part of the day in the computer, the
phone or any other gadget, so the real and physical interaction have started
getting lost.
 No, first we have to standardize the use of actual technologies and then keep
on going with innovations.
 When the entire world has ethics and education bases.
 Yes as we have in our everyday life to have a good, friendly and healthy
environment in the society and then in the world.
 That everyone follow the law would be a utopia, but we all would be safer.

9. CULTURE/SOCIAL
 1.-We think that the voting system does not work properly, We know it
could sound cruel but We think the vote is not for all people because in
the last elections, who won, won because the people told “He is
handsome”, or “He is a good looking guy”, instead of thinking about his
proposals
 2.-Yes the tacos, it is fake that Mexicans eat burritos we have never
tasted a burrito in our whole life, and no one of our known people had
ever slept on a cactus and a sombrero, we dress ourselves with casual
clothes
 3.-May 5th It is the day of the “Batalla de Puebla”, in which México
defeated a French invasion.
 -September 16th which is the Independence Day
 -November 1st and 2nd “Día de Muertos”, it is a holyday in which we
made tributes to our dead beloved persons it is said that their souls can
be with us in those two days, so we offer them what they liked when
they were alive.
 4.-We spend time with friends, go to the movies, parties
 5.-“Las Torres Bicentenario”, they are two big towers made to
commemorate the 200th anniversary of independence in Mexico, they
were built only two years ago in 2010.
 6.-We like to go to the movies, spend the day talking, doing
jokes, enjoying being together.
 7.-They are a lot but the most common near Toluca are “Los arboles de
la Vida” (trees of life), which are trees made of mud and painted in
which it is narrated a story with figures also made of mud.

10. SPORTS:
 Sports help us to be fit and to be healthy, also it helps
distracting from everyday works and issues that helps you
enjoy what you are doing.
 I practice sports 3 times a week Monday, Tuesday and
Thursday, on Monday I do one hour and a half of American
football, on Tuesday I do two hours and a half American
football and physical fitness and finally, on Thursday I do two
hours and a half of American football and physical fitness.
 I think in Mexico the three most popular sports are football
soccer, baseball and Taekwondo.
 My country encourage sports by giving scholarships to the
best players of certain teams, also they made a law that says
“every child in the school should exercise at least do 30
minute each day”.
 No I wouldn´t, because being an athlete is not everything I
want to be, I have the capabilities to be more than just a man
that do sports, and at the end I just wouldn´t feel alright with
myself.
