It is one of the most popular cities in the world, and there are many locations to visit in it, such as the Big Ben or Buckingham Palace. London is older than New York it has more history, so we think is has a richer culture and you can learn more things visiting London.]]> 2020-10-21 11:40:05 UTC https://padlet.com/92aotero/623aam1irxgdb35g/wish/848252700 92aotero https://padlet.com/92aotero/623aam1irxgdb35g/wish/848253872 The Beatles, from Liverpool, is the most famous band in history. They are not as popular as other bands today, but they are more relevant. Some people in the group (Jorge and Claudia) prefer British music because American music is more commercial. ]]> 2020-10-21 11:40:45 UTC https://padlet.com/92aotero/623aam1irxgdb35g/wish/848253872 92aotero https://padlet.com/92aotero/623aam1irxgdb35g/wish/848257589 The Prime Minister of the United Kindom is Boris Johnson, but the Queen of England is the most well-known political personality in the UK, and probably in the world! She has been in power for more time than any president and there's even a really good TV show about her in Netflix, The Crown. A lot of people would prefer it if there wasn't a monarchy in the UK, but there are also others who like her and her grandsons. We definitely like her more than Donald Trump.]]> 2020-10-21 11:43:08 UTC https://padlet.com/92aotero/623aam1irxgdb35g/wish/848257589 92aotero https://padlet.com/92aotero/623aam1irxgdb35g/wish/848259707 Fish and chips is a typical British food. It is more original than American food, because you can eat hamburgers in Spain too, but it is more difficult to eat fish&chips in a restaurant. However, we prefer hamburgers, because we don't like fish very much.]]> 2020-10-21 11:44:23 UTC https://padlet.com/92aotero/623aam1irxgdb35g/wish/848259707 92aotero https://padlet.com/92aotero/623aam1irxgdb35g/wish/848538315 2020-10-21 13:19:00 UTC https://padlet.com/92aotero/623aam1irxgdb35g/wish/848538315 92aotero https://padlet.com/92aotero/623aam1irxgdb35g/wish/848548535 Donald Trump is the president of the United States. He is the worst president of all time and a terrible example for other countries! We think the US would be better without him and we would prefer is if we wasn't elected again!]]> 2020-10-21 13:21:21 UTC https://padlet.com/92aotero/623aam1irxgdb35g/wish/848548535 92aotero https://padlet.com/92aotero/623aam1irxgdb35g/wish/848558417 Friends is one of the most well-liked comedies of all time. Everyone knows it! It is probably the best American TV show, but we think that in general TV in the US is not so good. American TV shows are definitely more popular than series from any other country, but we would rather watch British TV shows.]]> 2020-10-21 13:23:39 UTC https://padlet.com/92aotero/623aam1irxgdb35g/wish/848558417 92aotero https://padlet.com/92aotero/623aam1irxgdb35g/wish/848571679 New York City is the biggest and most famous city in the United States, although it is not the capital. It is one of the favourite tourist destitations in the world and it has many popular locations such as the Statue of Liberty, 5th Avenue and Central Park. We think you can do more interesting things in New York than in London but it is much more expensive to go there!]]> 2020-10-21 13:26:48 UTC https://padlet.com/92aotero/623aam1irxgdb35g/wish/848571679 92aotero https://padlet.com/92aotero/623aam1irxgdb35g/wish/848577744 Beyoncé is the most famous singer in the world! The Beatles said they were more popular than Jesus Christ, but nowadays Beyoncé is one of the most powerful artists on Earth! Pelayo and Aida prefer to listen to American music because there are more types of bands and singers and the music is funnier than in the UK.]]> 2020-10-21 13:28:01 UTC https://padlet.com/92aotero/623aam1irxgdb35g/wish/848577744 92aotero https://padlet.com/92aotero/623aam1irxgdb35g/wish/848581802 Hamburgers are a typical food in the United States. They are much tastier than fish and chips and in the US there is more variety of restaurants than in other countries!]]> 2020-10-21 13:28:59 UTC https://padlet.com/92aotero/623aam1irxgdb35g/wish/848581802 92aotero https://padlet.com/92aotero/623aam1irxgdb35g/wish/848590861 Peaky Blinders is an excellent British TV show. It is better written than most of the American series. In general, we think that TV shows in the UK have a better quality than American TV, but they are less popular.]]> 2020-10-21 13:31:09 UTC https://padlet.com/92aotero/623aam1irxgdb35g/wish/848590861 92aotero https://padlet.com/92aotero/623aam1irxgdb35g/wish/848814349 In England they say 'tomahtou'. They also say 'lift' and 'rubber', for example. We think UK English is a bit more difficult to understand, but it also sounds more attractive and professional than US English.]]> 2020-10-21 14:19:16 UTC https://padlet.com/92aotero/623aam1irxgdb35g/wish/848814349 92aotero https://padlet.com/92aotero/623aam1irxgdb35g/wish/848822170 In the US they say 'tomeito'. Also, they use words like 'elevator' and ' eraser'.

It is more interesting than Halloween, for example, because it is only celebrated in this country. However, would rather celebrate other festivities.]]> 2020-10-21 14:30:49 UTC https://padlet.com/92aotero/623aam1irxgdb35g/wish/848869201 92aotero https://padlet.com/92aotero/623aam1irxgdb35g/wish/848877414 Halloween is a classic American festivity, Although it is also celebrated in the UK, the American version is more popular in the world. There are other famous celebrations such as Thanksgiving, but we think Halloween is the most enjoyable for everyone and you can have a better time celebrating it than any other festivity!]]> 2020-10-21 14:32:35 UTC https://padlet.com/92aotero/623aam1irxgdb35g/wish/848877414 92aotero https://padlet.com/92aotero/623aam1irxgdb35g/wish/848932051 To vote, like the post with the country you prefer and expain your choice in a comment!]]> 2020-10-21 14:44:08 UTC https://padlet.com/92aotero/623aam1irxgdb35g/wish/848932051
