 UNIT 5

 Excersice 1 & 2 – Make a list

Tattoos can be considered fashionable or something significant depending on the person,

3. Things: Humid, convenient, noisy, spicy, salty, valuable.
 Exersice 5, 6, 7, 8 & 9 – Write

I don't have anything popular among my stuff, just the normal, the classic, what we all
once used and it wasn't a trend and it was just something normal. This is something that
affects society and conditions them to only use one type of clothing all, perhaps with different
colors but with the same design and personally it becomes something tedious and absurd to
see everyone wearing the same models of clothing. I usually don't like clothing trends
because they're usually very rare and not the kind of trends I would start wearing, but I'm not
against people wearing them if they like that either. In conclusion, fashion is a passing
thing that people take for granted, but I think it's not as important as we think. Fashion
will always be something that people will criticize but it should also be appreciated.
 I think those are the most central sentences that embark the whole subject and manage to
explain clearly the objective of the subject. I have eliminated the other sentences because I
think it is a bit too much to explain the personal reasons and implement something more
general on the subject.

 The well-written paragraph is as follows.

This is something that affects society and conditions them to only use one type of
clothing all, perhaps with different colors but with the same design and personally it becomes
something tedious and absurd to see everyone wearing the same models of clothing. In
conclusion, fashion is a passing thing that people take for granted, but I think it's not as
important as we think. Fashion will always be something that people will criticize but it
should also be appreciated.

 Exercise 13 – Put a tick

  Exercise 14, 15, 16 & 17 – Write

Social media and the humanity

Social media is a great tool developed by human beings but the resources offered are not
properly used. The main objective of this medium is to facilitate communication between our
most distant beings so that we create deeper ties.

Personally, I am not a big fan of the media because I like to interact with people face to
face and feel their emotions and feelings. Many people use this media as an advertising
channel to reach the public, the truth is that it works but many times people come to hate
these ads because they are very repetitive and create an indirect hate on the product.

In conclusion, I can say that the media is an important factor that has yet to be developed
within society and if it is developed properly it can become a tool for different non-
commercial uses.
