TASK 4.- Summary about the cross-cultural enquiry Spain-Ireland
Category: Tasks 07/08 Date 2008-03-01 17:32:48
MEALS
In Spain, it recommends five meals: breakfast, mid-morning snack, lunch, afternoon snack and dinner. The mid-morning snack and the alternoon snack must be very light meals, also it recommends an early and light dinner.
In Ireland, it seems that breakfast and dinner are quite plentiful, and lunch very very light. I don't know if they have or not a tea-time.
According to the doctors the Spanish timetable for meals is healthier than the Irish one.
BARS
The only difference between the two countries is when pubs, bars and restaurants are opened and closed, the rest is a question of money and endurance.
COFFEE TIME
In conclusion Spaniards have coffee at any moment of the day and in everywhere whereas the Irish people, I don't know what is the ideal time for coffee or tea, but they usually have it in a restaurant or a cafe.
TASK 4.- A DEEP INTERROGATION
Category: Tasks 07/08 Date 2008-02-28 20:29:56
Sorry for this interrogation but we have to do a job for our English class then we are going to ask you several questions.
Don’t worry, I’ll try to answer you as well as I can; but I have to say to you that not all I'm going to say will be true, you have to guess it.
To start with this interview we would like to know if you work or not? It's totally different a schedule for a worker than for a person who doesn’t work.
Yes, I work seven days and after that I have got seven free-days.
It’s an interesting work schedule, not everyone works as you do.
Do you like studying languages? How many languages do you speak?

TASK 4.- TRIP TO ROME

28-02-08
Dear Jose,
We are in Roma this week, our flight has been very nice because we have started from Zaragoza and we haven´t gone to Madrid or Barcelona.
In Rome the bus has taken us to the hotel. The hotel is wonderful, we are in the centre of the city in the Spain square. The Spanish embassy is next to our hotel. The weather is good during the morning and evening but it is cold at night. The restaurants are crowded of Spanish and Japanese people and we all like Italian food: pasta and pizza.
Take care,
