  1. 1_ The pictures show people from different countries and cultures, eating and enjoying traditional things.
    2_ The most important thing my culture can teach or show is how friendly we can be. How much things we share with friends and family every day or weekend. We spend to much time sharing moments with others.
    3_ I'm proud of how much we can help others even if we don't have to much to give there's always something we would do to help.
    4_ I admire many cultures, Asian ones and British as well. Asian because they`re very peaceful people, they eat healthy and respect others. British because the have too much education and respect for other people and cultures. Friendly as we are and they have solidarity with others whenever you need.

  2. The picture show people joined from different countries with many cultures.
    I believe that Argentinian culture is famous for the way that we are with family and friends as Leila said. I think we are kind and sociable. Also, we have enjoyable and interesting traditions that we can share with others like food, dances, stories.
    To be honest I have to say that one thing I am proud of is the 'freedom' let say that we still be having. Because we are so fortunate that we can choose what is the best for us and the oportunities for give opinion on things that we do not like. And as we know there are several countries where the culture not allowed this.
    Finally, I admire many cultures. I like so much the European ones, for example, I am fascinated about how English people are. Very sophisticated and determined. but also I like Italian because of their lifestyle and language.

  4. I think that the picture represents what culture is, because it shows like a mixture of different people that have particular customs, clothes, ways of representing things such as what they believe in, what they like, what they usually do, what is common from each culture, and more.
    In my opinion, te affection we haveto each other, how we show it and the fact that we are more easy.going than people from other cultures, is a good point for the world and that is what I am proud of.
    I know that there are many other countries like Finland, but I really admire its standard of education, and how some people want to learn a bit more, everyday.

  5. In the picture you can see a very many people from differents countries with differents cultures.
    I'm so proud of my culture and my country. We are one of the VERY FEW countries that have humans rights and freedom. We can read books that we want, dress as we want, and the most important of all, we can think and say different things to other people and in my point of view this is the most amazing that the argentines have.
    And i have to be honest... I'm really but really proud that the best player in the world and the pope are argentines.
    And well, i like the culture of Irland they have many interesting traditions like the celebration of St. Patrick , the customs that they have when people marry , among others.

  8. I think that the picture shows differents tipes of cultures with their differents life´styles, but all of them share the World and accept their believes.
    Our culture is one of the most kind and gentle. People share all the things that they have and help the immigrants when they need. We always enjoy being with our families and friends. It is so proud for me because the rest of the World have a good idea about us and our behaviour.
    I admire the Greenland´s culture because it has an excellent education and a responsible organization in its society. People trust each other and there are a low percent of robberies. It is a safe country.

  9. The picture shows people from different cultures, wearing their typical costumes and sharing a moment together. Despite the differences between them, they transmit a feeling of respect and tolerance.
    Argentinians are known for their traditions, such as spending time with their families and friends. Also, by our barbecues and mates. But mainly we are said to be extremelly hospitable and welcoming with tourist who visit our country.
    Personally, I'm proud of Pope Francisco who practises what he preaches.
    One of the cultures I admire is the Swiss because they are responsible and commited in their daily life, their level of education is high and they are hard working.

  10. The picture shows people around the world wich differ from each to other by their appearance and dress, and they represent their culture, their origin and their beliefs.
    Argentina has a number of different cultures within the same country, different languages, foods, dances, traditions in each province and also the different climates and landscapes that the country offers. The tourists love to come here because not all countries have these features. A part from that we are very friendly and reliable, that is the most important.
    I'm proud of the people in my country, such as: the Pope, the best scientists, the best athletes, the best engineers, the best artists, etc; because in spite of the way in which we live, here born people more humble and talented in the world.
    I admire the Asian culture because they are peaceful and healthy people and also I love the architecture of its cities.

  11. Hi! I'm Marce. I think that the picture shows a group of people representing different cultures. Some of them look funny, others are cute. They're wearing local, traditional clothing that show their customs. I guess they may be actors about to perform a play or a film, or just regular people that got together to take a picture...
    In my opinion, Tango has a lot of influence no only in our country, but also around the world. The music and the dance are well-known worldwide because it makes people feel relaxed, sexy, and less depressed.
    If I had to choose what in our culture I'm most proud of, it'd be our 'mate'. I think it's like a symbol to our country. It makes me feel I'm part of our culture. I'm fascinated by it. I drink mate everyday with friends, family or by myself.
    I admire other cultures like Japanese, Italian and British. I love the cherry trees, anime, tea and language of Japan. In Italy, I really like the renaissance architecture, food and language, too. Also, I'm very fond of British culture because its history, music, tea, food, fashion, politeness and humour of its people, its wonderful views and of course its language.

  12. The image shows people wearing different traditional clothes, something simple like this represents the differences between each culture like: costumes, beliefs, etc.
    We are known around the world like most, very proud of our country, we also love to socialize, for us One of the most important things is family., and we also have traditions like, mate, barbacues, etc.
    Other culture that catch my attention is japanese culture because Japan is a country of contrasts, where centuries-old traditional arts coexist with the latest technology . arts traditions such as the tea ceremony , ikebana , or flower arrangement and traditional performing arts.

  14. The picture shows the definition of Culture. wichn for me is the characteristics of groups of people, and the knoledge they have, who define them because of its language, religion, music or diferents forms of arts. As well I can see many groups of people and the union despite of all the cultural diversity the picture describe.
    b) The most important things Argentina has given to the world are the wonderful inventions wich has an unquestionable historical relevance. For a start a world wide know cardiologist René Favaloro, who in 1967 has created the cardiac device known as the bypas, uses for coronary artery bypass surgery, who its able to open blocked arteries.
    Luis Agote en 1914 has created a system who prevent the coagulation of blood on blood transfutions, and in that way it can be preserved for many days. Unlike other times in wich the transfusion has to be inmediate from one patient to another. Another invention was the Automated Fingerprint Identification in 1891 by a police argentinian officer Juan Vucetich,
    c) I´m really proud of the fact argentinian people are always in a good mode, dispite all the financial crisis we are able to get through.
    d) I admire the North American culture, in the way of the education system. Its not the fact is incledible strict, is also for the tradition american people has, to stick to the education programe. There are many families who at an early age, safe money for the college of their children. Its a life time saivings.

  15. a)The picture infer to culture. The most typical case that show that we are all different and that we have different origins and traditions. The picture shows people wearing traditional clothes from different countries and doing typical things such as dancing a folk dance.
    b)I think tha the mos important thing that our cauntry has given to the word are a lot of people who had made grat things, like football plyers, singers, artist and cientificts.
    c) I am very proud of national rock. I love our music and the way our singers show Argentina through the lyrics. They are all welcome in the world.
    d) I admire Chinese culture because the way the teach the young people, at school and at house too. The aspect of the competitivity they hace is higther than in other places and they learn a lot of activities in a excellent way the are encouraged through money and jobs if they do it right.

  16. The picture shows many people from different cultures. Personally I think that the message is that it's not depends on which culture do you are or in which country do you live, after all were are humans with the same characteristics.
    Abouut the most important thing that our culture has given to the world I strongly believe that is the invention of the Bypass. Many lives could be safe from this discoverment made by René Favaloro.
    Well, once you have listen the song "La Argentinidad al Palo" you would be proud of many things, personally I'm proud of the Dulce de leche, I can't live without it!! Also, I admire other cultures, such as Arabian and English culture. I think that these are quite different from us, so they are caught my attention and I would like to learn more about them
