the influence of colors around us
Colors help us differentiate every object, place or living being by showing us different colors in every of these.
Colors makes our world more enjoyable and beutiful for example it allows us to make things like paintings and drawings or improve others things like clothes or decoration.
Colors can also express and represent different things around the world permitting us. Maybe if the world didn't have colors we wouldn't care but we should be happy that they exist since they are useful even if we don't notice or think about it.
The importance of colors
I would like to talk about the importance of colors in my life, colors are something that all of us can percieve thanks to our eyes but, ¿have we really tought about world without colors or why are they important? to me, colors make the world look more lively and beatiful and a world with only tones of black, gray and white would look boring, this 3 aren't bad colors but i think it would look repetitive.
Colors makes us feel different things or helps us identify different places,objects and living beings, for example with green we may remember nature and plants or with yellow we may feel joy and energy, this applies to trademarks that have specific colors that makes us feel specific things to atract us to their stablishments, for example if someone use red in a food stablihments they are probably trying to make us hungrier or if blackis used they may wear it to make it ook more ellegant or simple.
Colors are always gonna be part of our entire life and we should be thankful that they exist because we would be thankful that they exist because we would be losing of lots of feelings, and experiences that makes our lives more beautiful and lively.

¿do you think thecnology has made us better at communicating?
ANSWER: I think thecnology has created more ways to communicate like phonecalls, social media, messages and much more other applications and functions, but I think that it may distract some people when they are talking face-to-face for example by interrupting a conversation and I consider that some people can be less honest when communicating trough devices like the cellphone and the computer because, after all, is not talking in front of each other and you can't see each other expresions, what you both are doing or hear the tone of their voice of each other; nonetheless, technology can be really useful to talk with people that you aren't capable to talk with because of how far apart you are from them and it could be also really useful to advice other people while in an urgent situation and when emergencies are occurring or to simply notify other people about any kind of current event or situation when you can't talk to them in person at the current moment.
-PAGE 46 EXERCISE 6 (ACTIVITY 3)
Discuss. ¿how often do you communicate with friends and family on the week? imagine you didn't have a cell phone or a computer ¿how would you communicate with your friends and family?
ANSWER: I usually don't communicate that much with my family through my cellphone, computer or any other device maybe because I visit them in holidays and vacations but with my friends I do talk a lot with them through my cell phone since we usually can't see each other in person, so I would say that I talk with my friends and my family at least five days in a week but the conversations aren't that long. If I didn't have a cellphone, a computer or any other thecnological device to communicate with my friends i would probably communicate through a cable telephone but I am not fond of communicating through phone calls so other option I coul go for probably go to a cybercafe and there I would use computer to comunicate with them in the social media websites that can be found in the internet but even so I found that option rather unconfortable and I feel like it can be kind of a waste of money and time considering the amount of times that I talk with my family and friends throught the week.

Amber Case beliebelieves that, with calm thecnology, electronic devices will do all the boring, repetitive tasks in our lives. ¿How will this benefit us?
¿What negative impact might it have on us?
ANSWER: I think that if this happens it might benefit us permitting us to do some things without so much effort with just having some thecnological devices to do it, making our life more comfortable and easier by saving the time we would use for those tasks and using it in other kind of activities, but, in the other hand, there is also a lot of negative things that this can lead to, like making our health deteriorate because we wouldn't have the nessecity to move to do the tasks replaced by the calm thecnology so we would do a lot less activities like walking and some people may spend their days just resting and doing nothing, another problem is that theres a possibility that calm thecnology devices fail to fulfill their tasks, some of those tasks may be able to be replaced by the owner of those failing devices or new device, but theres the possibility that these errors affect your life to a bigger extent, for example the error may block your possibilities to fix it by blocking the entrance to a certain place or the access to certain object so it would be really hard to fix those errors and I think it would a money and time consuming activity.

Edite an opinion essay to answer the question:
¿can we live without smartphones?
ANSWER: In my opinnion living without smartphones is possible for all of us but it may be very difficult to get used to live without them since they were used for lots of different things including communication and entertaiment and the mayority of people get really attached to this devices but I think that nonetheless it is in fact possible to survive without them since smartphones are mayorly used for secondary tasks wich arent completely necessary. In the case that smartphones werent even created to me is very obvious that we would live normally since us humans have existed for thousand of years without this devices and smartphones are inventions that were created not so much long ago so in my opinion everyone is able to live without smartphones but that doesn't mean that living without them is better because of the great amount of advantages and functions that this devices have but even so this functions aren't completely necessary and they are mainly secondary.

¿where will you go? ¿why?
ANSWER: If I could scuba dive and explore anywhere in the world then I would like to visit and
go scuba diving in the green lake or the grüner see which is a park that during winter the water only has 2 meters deep but while while in spring the water gets around 12 meters deep which means
the park gets completely covered in water which means that it is, indeed, possible to dive in the water; i would like to go because the green lake because to me it is a really beautiful place

Unit 6: Are you gonna eat that?
-PAGE 93 EXERCISE 2
¿When is the last time you tried a completely different type of food?What was it?Did you enjoy it or not?
If I remember correctly the last time I tried a completely different type of food was actually around 1 or 2 months ago, I went to a restaurant of italian food, I remember going to that restaţ3urant with my mom and with one of my aunts, there all of us decided to eat the same thing, which was a panini, a variety of sandwich that was originally created in italy, we all ate ended up eating a panini with different ingredients inside it; I really liked how it tasted it and I think became one of my favorite foods so I would definitely would eat it again if I have the possibility, maybe the reason why I really liked is because I tend to like italian food in general.
-PAGE 95 EXERCISE 3
¿Do you waste food at school or at home?If so, how much?Why would you trow food away?
I actually don't waste a lots of food, I usually eat all the food that is given to to me in my house, but if I throw some kind of food away it would be strawberry juice, even tho i like strawberries themselves, or any meal that incudes raw onion which are actually made quite commonly in my house, I usually try eating the most I can from this meals because I don't like the idea of wasting food so I end up drinking most part of the straberry juice and I trow away the onion from the meals with it and them I eat them but sometimes I don't even this kind of food and simply reject it, the reason why I throw away the strawberry juice is because of its taste since I simply don't like it and find the taste really gross and the reason I don't like meals with raw onion is because of it's taste as well but I also trow away the onion because in my opinion it looks disgusting and I think that it worsens the taste of the mayority of meals with onion if this ingredient is left raw.

Imagine if you wanted to open a restaurant. How can you avoid food waste?Make a list of at least five ideas.
If I opened a restaurant, I would avoid wasting food by:
1. Donating the food that couldn't be used in the restaurant.
2. Using ugly food to prepare the recipes in the restaurant.
3. Having a really diversed menu in the restaurant.
4. Measuring the amount of food used every week according to the amount of clients that arrive at restaurant per week.
5. Providing some different meals every day so that all ingredients can be ultimately used.
-PAGE 105 EXERCISE 35
¿Why do people trow food away?Write about at least three different causes of food waste.
1. Some of the food people throw away in supermarkets is ugly food wich is only trowed away because of it weird looks and I think the amount of ugly food that is trown away is rater large.
2. Other reason why people throw away food might be that they simply don't like the food the eat, mostly from the kids in households.
3. Another reason might be that people buy more food than is needed and because of that they forget of certain food products and they end up wasted or trown away.

Unit 7: Art in the open
-PAGE 111 EXERCISE 2
what are the differences between art in a gallery or art in the street or in a park ? where do you prefer to look art at?
The difference between art in the street and and art in a gallery is that street art is completely free for everyone who passes by and in the art that is presented in the gallery needs payment to be seen by anyone who wants to see it, another difference is that sometimes public art may not have a message or a meaning and the art that is found in galleries most like has these thing because people will have to pay to see it, so the meaning or the messages that this art pieces may have, give them more value and makes them more worth it to be paid for; I think that i prefer seeing art on the streets or in parks that in art galleries because I am not really a fan of art representations like this so it's most likely that I don't even visit a gallery in my entire life or at least in the time being I prefer street art because I can see it without having to pay and without me being necessarily interested in art .
-PAGE 113 EXERCISE 3
¿Why do people create public art?What do you think is the most important reason for doing so?
I think the reaosn of why people crate public art is mostly because people see it as a way to express themselves and to improve or represent the image and the indentity of their comunnity trought art since it represents part of the artist community, because of this we can say that by extension public art is created for the sake of cultural understanding for the things that are being represented or painted in this form of art, I think this is actually positive considering that you don't need to be interested in art or in painting to see this artistic representations because they are public and instead of being in a museum or in another building like this this they can be found on the street and in public areas or stablishments so this way people can understand the message of this paintings that the creators wanted to trasmit and it also permits us to know more about the culture of the people that create public art.
-PAGE 114 EXERCISE 6
Imagine you want to use a public space for an art show. ¿What kind of space will you use? what do you want to show on it? discuss your ideas.
If I had to use a public space for an art show, that place would be a park so that I can distribute the different art pieces trought the park instead of having them in the same place and I think that would make the show more enjoyable and it would give the park a different vibe and theme to the park for a day which can make it even more unique, in the show I would probably present paintings and sculptures about polution and nature so that people recieve a message about protecting nature and the consequences of pollution because I think it's something everyone should be aware of and it would fit the natural elements of the park like the trees, the bushes and the birds, I would also use art related to equality and culture awareness to promote this things and to increase this things in our community; the reason for using these themes in the art show is because I think is important to make people know about these topics because they are strongly present nowadays.
-PAGE 119 EXERCISE 21
_(ACTIVITY 2)
If you wanted to create street art ; what images will you use , and how would you use them?What message will your art have?
If I wanted to create street art I would probably paint and use images that are related to the nature like trees, bushes and birds in the middle of the ilustration probably surrounded with a kind of light and I would make it look as harmonic and beautiful as possible, then I would paint some kind of purple clowds of smoke with evil looking faces in the inside of them and hands reaching towards the tree and bushes, this would represent pollution; the message that I would like to transmit with my art is about taking care of the environment, the plants and the animals to create awareness amongst people about how much the pollution that is being caused by human kind can lead to their own demise and by extension the demise of other animal and plant species and that it probably can cause irreparable damage to the planet earth because I think this is one the biggest problematics that humanity has in the present and most likely have in the future so in my opinion it is important to talk about this kind of things.

What places should never be covered with street art?Why?
Religious buildings such as churches should not be covered with street art because it can be interpreted as disrespect towards the religion and culture of the building even if that isn't the intention of the creator, this also applies to graveyards since it's consider to be a way do offend the dead people in the place; other places that shouldn't be covered with street art are hospitals and schools since some of the public art can be offensive and controversial which are things that I believe can be bad for a learning environment and for the serenity and tranquility that the people that found themselves in an hospital because of their illness need for their well being and their recover; houses shouldn't be covered with public art because I'm pretty sure no one wants their house to be painted on without without their consent since everyone should decide how they want to decorate their house and everyone should respect the houses of other people so I think public art in houses is only ok if it's made by the owner of the house.
