ACTIVITY

 Anna wants to have a movie date with her family, which genre do you think is better to
watch?
a) HORROR MOVIES (Reason) – In my opinion, horror movies would be a better movie to
watch with family because horror movies help us socialize with our family and we share
we experience the same emotions at the same time.
b) ROMANTIC MOVIES (Reason) – Romantic movies have awkward scenes sometimes
that is why in my opinion it would be awkward to watch with your parents specially if
you are not that open or close with your family.
 Juan is craving for sweets, which is better for him to eat?
a) FRUITS GROUP (Reason) – if what is better for Juan is what he needs then fruits group
would be the better for Juan to eat because fruits are also sweet and delicious and also
healthy even if he eats too much.
b) CHOCOLATES (Reason) - chocolates are too sweet and it will be bad for Juan if he eats
too much.

Question: How did you come up with those reasons?

I came up with those reasons base on my experiences in my own life and I also based in my
logical thinking or in what I observe with other families that tells what happens when they watch
movies together.
