Case 3-
More than 8 in 10 parents give themselves high marks (A´s and B´s) for involvement in their children´s education. When assessing other parents, however, most (76%) give C´s, D´s and F´s.
A- Why do you believe parents see themselves better than other parents?
B-What would you recommend them?

                      A B C D F


Case 4-
Thirty five percent of Americans say they entertain at least once a year. The holiday season is a popular time for hosting family and friends.
24% entertain two or more times a month
29% entertain once a month
12 % never entertain.

A-What do you think of the frequency of the meetings?
B- Is it high or low?
C- What about your country? Could you compare both situations?


Case 5-
Eighty five percent of Americans read their employment contracts, with six in ten saying they never read the fine print.
Should people ....
a) read every word?
b) read enough to understand?
c) give just a glance?

What could the consequences be in each case?

  1. In the 4th case, I believe that they should read every word in a contract because there are always some exceptions that are hard to spot.

    Actually, you are giving your opinion on case Nº5 but you are not answering the question....
    By the way, what about cases 3 and 4?

  3. Case 3
    1. They think that what they do is the best job with their children. They try to give them the best.
    2. I'd recommende they, to compare the way that they are, with other parentes, and change the thing that are not correct.

    Case 4
    1. I think the frequency of the meetings should be more common. This is a good time to spend quality time with people you love.
    2. It's in the middle. It's not hight, neither low.
    3. In my country, the frequency of meetings is much more common. People enjoy the moments that they sped with friends or family.

    case 5
    1. They should read every word. Maybe the fine print of the employement is to much important, maybe it has very important data. Or maybe it has something that you don't want.

    Case 3:
    A- Why do you believe parents see themselves better than other parents?
    Because they do the best they can to give their children an excellent education.

    B-What would you recommend them?
    I would recommend them that they have to learn about their mistakes and teach to their children’s the most thinks about life and experience that they can.

    Case 4:
    A-What do you think of the frequency of the meetings?
    I think meeting with your family and friends should be more frequently because it’s the only that you take of the life. The family will be always with you, in the bad moments and in the happy moments.

    B- Is it high or low?
    I think is low.

    C- What about your country? Could you compare both situations?
    In my country meeting with the family is more frequently because people enjoy spending time with other and going to bed late. Apart from that, we have got the “mate” and that is a good excuse for meeting. In USA I think people don’t like very much going out and apart from that, they haven’t got the “mate”.

    Case 5
    ..read every word?
    Yes, you always have to read every word.

    ..read enough to understand?
    Yes, because sometimes you read quickly and you don’t understand something important. Apart from that, you have to make questions if you don’t understand.

    c) give just a glance?
    No, you have to read conscientiously.
