Getting in touch - Unit 1

This is a simple activity, based on the next affirmations I'm going to ask yes or no questions:

1. Manuel’s a good worker. 2. He works in a factory. 3. Last year, he started university 4. It was really demanding. When he finishes, he is going to be a professional accountant. 5. He could study something different but 6. He likes economics. 7. He wants to buy a big house for his parents. 8. They worked a lot to raise all their children. 9 Last month, he was dating with a beautiful girl from university. 10. We don’t know if the relation is doing well. 11. I can’t wait to know!

1. Is Manuel a good worker?
2. Does he work in a factory?
3. Did he start university last year?
4. Was it really demanding?
5. Could he study something different?
6. Does he like economics?
7. Does he want to buy a big house for his parents?
8. Did his parents work a lot to raise all their children?
9. Was he dating a beautiful girl from university last month?
10. Do we know if the relationship is doing well?
11. Are you excited to know?

Now, let's talk about greetings around the world. Greetings around the world are fascinating due to the diverse ways cultures greet each other. Some intriguing examples include the "hongi" nose rub in New Zealand, the "wai" prayer-like gesture in Thailand, and the Maasai warrior handshake in East Africa.


In Colombia, my home country, greetings are characterized by warmth and affection. It is customary to exchange firm handshakes, maintain eye contact, and offer a smile when meeting someone. Moreover, close friends and family members often express familiarity and closeness through hugs and cheek kisses.
