Classwork/Homework, 12/diciembre

¡Hola, chicos!

Para recordar:

• Prueba de vocabulario, sp-eng see adapted list

Amarillo el martes, el 17 de diciembre.        Azul el martes, el 17 de diciembre

• Examen de leer, detalles p21, formato: lo mismo de siempre

Amarillo el miércoles, el 18 de diciembre.     Azul el miércoles, el 18 de diciembre

Para el trabajo de hoy: 

(1) Aquí hay las respuestas para la actividad de leer pp14 a 18. Review these against your own and look to the text for the evidence that backs them. Remember this is a form of getting ready for your reading exam. :-) ! 

1. They are fighting against mass tourism and scarcity of housing

2. water guns

3. People are protesting by spraying tourists with water and hanging signs that indicate tourists are not welcome.

4. People's fears are that the protests will discourage tourism which brings in 14% of the GDP of Barcelona and 150,000 jobs.

5. vivienda de corta duración is short-term housing, like AirBnB

6. They recommend blaming expats (immigrants to Barcelona) and digital nomads (people who working remotely and live wherever they want) because they are earning very high salaries which is making the rental market much more competitively expensive. 

7. Tourists are filling up monuments, streets, and restaurants. It is leading service providers to deliver a stereotyped/simplified version of Spain, instead of Barcelona's unique cultural identity.

8. Her POV is that catalanes should be grateful that people want to visit their city and that everyone is a tourist somewhere. 

9. Some are fighting to eliminate short-term rentals.

10. They predict that current tourism patterns are unsustainable and the city will end up without resources (natural resources, in particular). And then, there won't be any more tourists either. 

(2) Review your personal reaction WITH a peer. Can you both identify clarity, specificity, and complete accurate sentences? The reaction should be concise and specific and clear.

OPINIÓN: Yo creo que ... / Yo pienso que ... / A mi parecer ...

EVIDENCIA: El texto dice ... / El artículo dice ... / "so and so" dice que ...

EXPLICACIÓN: <depende de la conexión>

EXPERIENCIA PERSONAL: En mi vida ... / En mi experiencia ...
