Hi classmates!

I´m writing this email because I want to talk about -my +this -funny +fun video.

First of all, I want to ask you this question, -Have +have you ever thought -about +if the way you eat is normal? I´m sure of it....

For that +reason, in the next video you can check +if the way you eat is normal.

In this video -[anyone talk] +[nobody talks], for this reason you should pay attention -in +to the cartoons and the sentences. They show you what percentage of people eat different -kind +kinds of meal in diferent ways.

-In +at the beginning the video asks you if your eating habits are normal, say, if you prefer eating your cereales soggy, crunchy or +you don´t care, either way...

I´m surprised because there are more -of +than five ways to make a -coffe +coffee! -whit +with milk, black, half & half or cream, +with almond or soy milk... -[For other side] +Besides, -also there are +also many ways of preparing a sandwich, eating an oreo, bagels or spaghetti. But in my opinion, no matter +the percentage, I prefer to eat spaghetti in the Lady & the trump style.

I'm looking forward to -see +SEEING it in class and I hope you like it.

Cheers

Thanks, Gracia ------------

Nowadays, the majority of people have a mobile phone with new technologies allowing them to be connected to the rest of the world, at every single moment of the day. This tool is very useful at all times, isn't it?

Social media guar:D

Do you have same opinion, now?
