Hi! It is an interesting activity. But I think it makes us see that we grew up in a globalized world. We have the same answers. Which one did you find the most interesting?
ResponderBorrarWe share the same ideas about this topic, it's really interesting. Great job!
ResponderBorrarHi. I compared my table with yours, we have the same aspects of globalization in each event;)
ResponderBorrarIt is good to know that we as a generation that wants to make a change in the world we know the aspects that evolve around the world and understand them clearly, we share the same answers, thanks!
ResponderBorrarHi! I agree with all of your answers! I don't have all exactly the same but I also think that some of those have more than 1 category, and I was really indecisive about what to choose, but now after comparing my answers with the rest of the class answers it feels good to know that we all have almost the same answers which is really cool, and well it makes us realize how globalized is the world. Don't you think so?
