Women v/s Men

Women v/s Men



How does this video show gender differences?
 This is a very stereotyped video and also an exaggeration of both sexes, the truth is that every day we are getting more equal and this differences are disappearing.


Which difference do you think is the most accurate? Why?
 Definitely the one about shopping, men usually go to a market, get what they want and leave, on the other hand women go to markes, center shops or anyting, even when they are bored, they try on as many things as possible and can even leave without having bought anything.


Which difference do you think is less accurate? Why?
  In my opinion the one about Football, for me everything related to sports have nothing to deal with gender and is more like a transversal issue.

The Skier

The Skier



The story is about Afel, a little boy who had never known the snow, he only used to see snow in books.
At the begining of the sotry he asked his mom what snow was, but she could not explain.
Afel was kind of obbsesed with snow, he dreamed about being there, the snow field from books and tv.
Finally, one day he was at his uncle's home watching "The Winter Games"  in which there was plenty of snow and also many skiers and that was the day he wanted to become a skier.

In my opinion this is an interesting story, it does not have a clear ending,but you can also enjoy this podcast.
