Caolis, question 1 is not answered completely. Question 2 is OK and question 3 does not explain why being punctual is important or not in VENEZUELA.
ReplyDeleteRemember you need to elaborate on your answers and tell why.
Do you have to leave a tip in cafes and restaurants even if the service is poor?
ReplyDeleteIn Venezuela, the tip is an expression of courtesy given for what we consider has been good service, but we shouldn’t think that is an obligation. if you don’t feel you have been attended very well, you don’t have to leave any tip.
Which subjects are taboo in general conversation?
Politics, religion and sex are three subjects very sensitive because people have diferent opinion about that. Usually in my country people avoid these subjects because are considered taboo to start a conversation with strangers.
Is it very important to be punctual?
It's important but it's very common that people do not arrive on time. I think it is part of our culture.
teacher this is the new answer of the questions and in the end the homework with the paper, I sent to your email but I prefer to put it here again because I remembered that you have problems with internet
ReplyDelete1. Is it OK to use cell phones in all public places?
in Venezuela the cell phone is not allowed in all public places such as banks in this is that in the past used the cell phone to alert the thieves over who had a lot of money to come off the bench
3. Is it very important to be punctual?
Punctuality is a habit that everyone should have successful and educated, so if you have a meeting then try to be on time, in Venezuela many people is not punctual this cases can consider it normal but in my case i prefer to be on time
Hi teacher, this is the first part of my homework.
Activity 1 - Unit 7 – Do you follow trends?
I identify with the box 3
When I was 14 , I remember was obligation for me to used everything was in the
fashion of the time, various hairstyles, striped trousers, nike shoes and with my
friends practiced new dance steps. I can say that was fun. Now a day I wear
whatever I want, as what everyone should do. But I use trends as a way to add
to my own style. I love fashion and fashion always repeats itself so old trends
turn into new trends. I use all these trends as inspirations when I go shopping.
But whatever I like, i'll wear it. Not just because its trendy. Some trends I don't
like but they warm up to me and I end up liking them later on. Its okay if you
don't follow trends but its fun to try the new trends just to add a little diferent
style
I HOPE YOU CAN MAKE IT
