Food experience

Our experiences are about the food in different regions in Mexico, for example in a poor town in Guerrero they just eat tortilla and chile, and drink pulque and coca-cola. The second story, in rural towns they eats chapulines and it´s strange for us because they are very crunchy when you put them in your mouth and eat them, the third story is in Puebla; its very common to eat guajes, pitaya, goat meat and pumpkin seeds. The last experience of food is in Oaxaca because they only eat fish and shrimps.

they are: because is plural
squeeze - crunchy: because you don´t squezze something whit your mouth, you do it with your hands for example

Emphasizers

The night was so cold that I had to wear two sweaters; one of them was made of wool, it was such a warm one that I had to take it off. The next day I was too sick that I couldn´t leave my bed. It was too comfortable for me to want to do something else. But it wasn´t enough for me to feel better. After three days I was well enough to come back to work.

I agrees with the result in the test, I think I´m too reflexive that sometimes I take a lot of time to make some thing, and is more easy for me learn something that it´s known than things that I have to imagine how or why happens, also I take a lot of time in details that I consider important, and that why may be others work faster than me, I´m very careful with my job. Usually I´m more interested in things that I can apply and also I realized that I prefer to learn from the general to the particular.
