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”.

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.

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.

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.
