Sub-task A: Heroes in our city

angelicayepes — 2022-06-15 16:31:30 UTC

In this sub-task, I did not have many problems because the activities were easy and I found it very interesting to have to make an effort to understand the audios. Perhaps I had a little trouble and confusion with the activity number four which consisted of replace words but overall, it was a very enriching and entertaining activity.

Forum: What is a hero?

angelicayepes — 2022-06-15 16:35:43 UTC

Personally, I believe that people have two ideas about what a hero is. The first is that person who is in charge of doing good by saving people, possessing enormous strength, maximum speed, invisibility or the ability to fly; all in order to save a city or the world from a villain or a catastrophe. While a hero in real life would be someone who, with his values and abilities, will also seek the good for others, through actions and not with superpowers, becoming an inspiration for the population and someone worthy of admiration.

I think that the people who in our society could be considered as heroes are the social leaders, since they are individuals who risk their lives to defend causes such as the environment, education, culture, etc; and it is sad like many other people or organizations they seek to silence them for the good of their personal interests, when they only seek the common good.

Sub-task B: Controversial People in the City

angelicayepes — 2022-06-15 16:50:21 UTC

I liked this sub-task B a lot since its degree of complexity made it very interesting, the fact of being attentive to the video, having to interpret and understand the texts was also something very interesting. Personally, the activity that was most difficult for me was number one since I had to repeat the video several times to understand what the characters were saying and thus form the words correctly. The text that I liked the most was the one that dealt with Fernando Vallejo since he really is quite a controversial person!

Last year, I had the opportunity to travel with my family to La Guajira. While staying there, i visited some representative sites of the area such as the Manaure salt flats, the Arcoiris beach, the Taroa dunes, the Pilon de azucar, etc. When we arrived at the Pilón de Azúcar, I used the possibility of climbing to the top of it and admiring the view from there; I was very excited and decided to go climbing this mountain, regardless of the fact that my family did not want to accompany me. I began to climb the mountain very easily, but I stopped for a moment to rest . When I turned around to admire the view, I was very scared and I lost my balance, somewhat embarrassed, I had to ask some people for help to continue, they very kindly helped me to reach the top and when we were there, I was terrified, I had to sit on a stone because I felt that the wind would make me fall, I was delighted with the beautiful view but at that moment I was worried about how I would get down from there, since we were very high and in a very steep area, in the end the same people helped me down and I was able to breathe with tranquility when I reach the flat ground, it was a very exciting and at the same time somewhat terrifying experience for me because I think that if I visit this place again I would doubt a lot about going up there again.

Topic: Tourist places in Medellin

The objective of this project is to be able to evaluate, through 5 questions, the preferences and recommendations of tourist sites that are found in the city of Medellin. For this, five university students were surveyed in order to collect data and make a contrast in which their responses can be compared or grouped. The research was carried out by a university student who sought to know what is the perception or tastes that people around him have regarding the tourist places that can be found in Medellin, so through the Google Forms platform he conducted a survey with questions that are oriented in being able to find an answer to the present topic.

The first question that was asked to the respondents was: If you had to choose a tourist site from those that exist in the city to be the one that best represents Medellin, which one would you choose? The places from which individuals could choose were Pueblito Paisa, Museum of Antioquia, Botanical Garden and Comuna 13. According to 40% of people, the tourist site that best represents Medellin is Comuna 13.

More than half of the people responded that their favorite place was the Arvi park because it was a beautiful space full of nature that was suitable for doing various activities with family or friends.

Vacations in San Andres
Last year I had the opportunity to travel with my mother to the Island of San Andres, we spent five days there; the first day after arriving from the airport we wanted to go to the center but it was already too late because all the shops were closed so we stayed at the hotel; the next day we got up early to be able to visit the center, buy lotions, sweets and creams; On the third day we went to the island of Johnny Cay and to the aquarium, these are beautiful places where the waters are crystal clear with different shades of blue; On the fourth day we went back to the center and there we bought more sweets and lotions, we went to the beach, we ate homemade popsicles and a delicious ceviche; On the last day we went to see the Rocky Cay beach by bus and then we stayed resting at the hotel until nightfall, because at 9 pm our flight left.

San Andres is a beautiful place where there are many places to visit, such as Morgan's cave, the Blow Hole, taking a tour of the island, seeing the old houses and the island culture, having the opportunity to go diving, visiting the aquarium and the island of Johnny Cay. However, this time the trip I took with my mom was more to rest and buy things.

Carrying out the academic approach, at the time of reading, it seemed somewhat dense to me and it was difficult for me to understand it, since they used a very wide vocabulary. However, with the help of dictionaries and guessing some words I was able to understand it

San Ateo is a restaurant bar located at kilometer 4.8 of the San Félix road. This is an ideal place to go with your family, partner or friends where people of all ages can enjoy a delicious food with one of the best panoramic views of the city of Medellin. In this restaurant you will find a wide gastronomic offer where the specialty of the place is artisan pizzas and hot chocolate with melted cheese, the options will range from empanadas, pizzas, meats, arepas, desserts to granitas with liquor. From Friday to Sunday night there is live music by the light of a campfire to set the scene. However, it is a perfect place to go during the day or at night, delight with the view, the food, the music, take wonderful photos and enjoy a pleasant moment.

I recommend this place because it is a site with a great atmosphere, affordable prices, it is not very far from the city, it lends itself to different celebrations such as meetings or birthdays and it is a guaranteed good experience.
