1. New York – Los Angeles
Wrong answer! From Los Angeles to New York is the right answer.
2. Fuel is inexpensive and a precarious public transport network.
Right answer! You omitted «there is» between «and» and «a precarious…..».
3. A better living
That was not the reason mentioned by Chris Hudson. They probably went there in search of a better life, but the writer made reference to something different.
4. A Russian City.
What city? You need to say the city he mentioned. It begins with «K».
I don’t remember. Is it possible Krasnogorsk?
That is not correct!
5. New Orleans, San Francisco…
Sorry, but he didn’t talk about San Francisco.
8. France; Language
What can you say about the language?
For instance, there is the French Quarter, with its streets bearing the names given them by the early French settlers.
That is right! But that information was taken from a website «https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.history.com/.amp/topics/immigration/the-French-in-New-Orleans»
Anyway, he focused on other French aspects such as food.
That information wasn’t taken from a website, was taken from different programs on TV, such as Tv series and so on. I participated in the activity until 18:15.
I said that it was taken from the net as I typed your sentence on ‘google’ and I found it as it is on the website I mentioned in my previous comment:
«And, of course, there is the French Quarter itself, with its streets still bearing the names given them by the early French settlers and its French- and Spanish-influenced architecture.»
I know you were in the assembly hall till 6.15pm.
To cut a long story short, the idea was answer taking into account the information given by Chris Hutson in his presentation.
9. Jazz
Could you give more details?
A funeral procession accompanied by a group of musicians who play jazz.
Right!
1. From Los Angeles to New York.
3. If I am not mistaken, I understood that the reason why people went to west was to find prosperity.
4. Kazakhstan (It takes 50 hours driving)
It was a really interesting and hilarious activity. Thanks.
Regarding question 1, your answer is right. As for question 3, Chris Hutson mentioned another reason. The reason he mentioned is related to that sense of… you can take delight in when driving by car. Concerning question 4, your answer is also correct.
Well done!
1. From New York to Los Angeles
2. Cars were very popular, because the oil maganates sold cheap gasoline, to boost the purchase of cars, that is, so there was hardly any public transport.
3. A huge part of the country was empty, unexplored, and had great insights
4
6.Restaurants, liquor stores …
7. They were the native Indian tribes.
9. Any activity in which you can hear a native English is very util..pero, I to my mind, he spoke very quickly and I got lost easily
The answer to question 1 is wrong. It is just the other way round, that is, from Los Angeles to New York.
The answer to question 2 is right.
The answer to question 3 is not right. They went there in search of freedom.
In the answer to question 6 you didn’t use the terms he used in his slides (
drive-in movie theaters, drive-in stores,drive-in banks, etc.)
The answer to question 7 is right.
Regarding you view on the activity (question 10, not question 9), be careful as you used Spanish and again you made punctuation mistakes.
This immersion in English was very interesting. So, I consider that we have been able to learn a lot of things from it.
I can remember:
1. From Los Angeles to New York
2. Cars are popular in America because gas is very cheap.
3. Citizens go west in order to find freedom.
6. Due to popularity of cars, there were cinema in your car, besides you could get money, buy things,… from your car.
10. This activity is mainly rewarding.
Regards.
Your answers are right!
Pay attention to the answer to question 6 as there are some serious mistakes (e.g. due to popularity of cars/there were cinema/from your car). You should say «Due to the popularity of cars, there are drive in cinemas. Besides, you can get money, buy things, etc. without getting out of your car/without leaving your car.»)
