Poli, our university, received a group of 12 international students last


semester and Poli students had the opportunity to exchange a lot of ideas
with them and to compare our culture with different cultures. At
gastronomy, for example, Europeans and Chinese are very good, and

they cook
very well. They prepare delicious

dishes
for lunch and dinner. And French girls usually eat very

healthy
 food. They prefer salads, fruit and low-fat products.

We discovered that some of the Latinamerican male students are good


athletes
. They enjoy going to the gym, riding

bicycle
 and playing soccer. Sports and exercise

are important in their lives.

International students don’t worry about money very much. In contrast,

Colombians try to save


 money, and bargain or negotiate

prices all the time. In Spanish we call it “regatear”.

And talking about personality, Colombians and Latinamericans are happy


and joyful people. We celebrate everything. Europeans are different from
us. They are usually very serious and sometimes we think they are
angry
 because they don’t smile. They can help people with

location and give directions in their cities, if we need that. But we prefer to

use Waze or Google Maps. It’s easy


, practical,

quick
 and we don’t have to talk to serious people. 😊

GRAMMAR - EXERCISE I

Read what Andy Piscola says about sports and a nice life and
choose the correct option in each case. Use capital letters if
necessary.

This is what Andy Piscola, a Sport and Exercise Psychologyst from


Brisbane says about sports, healthy eating and healthy mind:

If you want to be happy in your life you need to do what you love, eat

healthy and do [ Seleccionar ]


exercise. Everything is

possible.

Eating healthy is not eating only fruit and vegetables. It is having a

balanced diet. There are [ Seleccionar ]


delicious

products you can include in a nice meal, but everything has to be

moderated: [ Seleccionar ]
meat or fish (protein),

[ Seleccionar ]
potatoes, some salad, a glass of wine,

[ Seleccionar ]
sugar is not bad for your health and it can

make you [ Seleccionar ]

suggest that you cook at home. It is [ Seleccionar ]

not [ Seleccionar ]

Exercise is also very important. Some people think they have to do


[ Seleccionar ]
exercise every day and that is not true. 20

minutes of exercise a day is a good quantity. When you are


[ Seleccionar ]
active and [ Seleccionar ]

trained, you can do a few minutes more. You can start by doing exercise
at home, and then you can go to the gym or to a park
[ Seleccionar ]
your house. Hydration is also very

important. So, drink [ Seleccionar ]


water while you

exercise, specially if you live in a [ Seleccionar ]


place or

if it is a hot and dried season of the year.
