Tattoos are very popular these days. Some famous people have

In India, women have interesting tattoos on their hands and legs
for their wedding ceremony. In the 16th and 17th century, people
from the Polynesian Islands had tattoos of animals and nature
on their chests, shoulders, ankles and backs. Some communities
in the Ecuadorian Amazon region, like the Shuars, have tattoos
on their faces.

started this type of dance in the 1970s. At that time, it became very

the streets in other big cities in the United States.
Some movements come from the Kung-Fu martial art and other

1. Read the text. Underline all the adjectives in blue.
Circle the comparative adjectives in red.
Fish is a very delicious and nutritious food. Eating fish is also

healthier than eating red meats, since it is beneficial for your heart,
eyes, and brain. Dishes that have fish in them are very popular
around the world, but especially in Ecuador.
They are present in the gastronomy of the four regions of the
country. In the Amazon region, for example, people eat a dish
called “Maito.” They prepare it with fish from the river (catfish,
pintadillo) and wrap it in plantain leaves. In the highlands, it is
more common to eat trout. Fishing for trout is also a nice activity
to do on the weekend. On the Ecuadorian coast, people eat a wider
variety of seafood. Thanks to the proximity to the ocean, the fish
are fresher and tastier in this region.
In modern times the different foods from the different regions are
more accessible, so it’s possible to eat food from the coast in the
Andean regions.
