1-Yes,becouse it's very funny that an Italian person criticizes the place where is he from. Also, I laugh a lot waching the video.
ResponderEliminar2-The stereotypes are it costumes, the typical perties, the typical food and the character of the people who live there. Becouse that are the thing that identifies a country.
3-I think that our cultures are very similar and our character is similar too. That happens becouse we are Mediterranean and we have been influenced by the Romans who were in both contries.
4-Yes, I have travelled to Andorra and Germany. I think that the most similar country is Andorra, becouse it have the same costumes and they celebrate the same festive days. And Germany is more different to my country becouse the festive days are completely different and the food is strange for us too. Also the language is different.
6-Sometimes yes, and sometimes no. I'm agree with te people that recognizes that we have got faults but I'm not agree with the people that says that our country is horrible.
7- I'm agree with Sandra becouse our opinions are very similar

1- I like the video of Italy and Europe because it's funny and I laugh a lot.
ResponderEliminar2-The stereotypes I will use to descrive people of the UK are that they love animals, and they are very punctual.
3-I think people of the UK when they land with the plain they think "at last" (the same as the Italians).
4-I went this summer to London, and I think they aren't similar to us, because they don't have the same festive days, we haven't got the same costumes, and they drive on the right side.
5-I agree with the stereotypes that people have about my country, because I think the people are not from Catalonia see faults that we don't see.
6-I'm agree with Raquel because our answers and opinions are similar.
Helena Veledo PET1 A
1- I like it very much because the creator of the video is very honest because he tells the truth of his country and also I laugh a lot.
ResponderEliminar2-I will use the stereotypes describing the character of the people who live there, their typical form to wear, their language, their typical food and also their typical costumes. For example: the stereotypes that I will use to describe Germany are that they are very clean, they are very arranged and also they are very educated .
3- I thing that we are similar because we aren’t much arranged and we aren’t clean because Spain and Italy are much polluted.
4-Yes, I travel to: Ireland, France, Czech Republic, Hungary , Slovenia and Andorra.
The more similar place are Andorra because is very near , we speak the same language and also we have the same costumes.
The more different country are Hungary because the food, the character of the people, the costumes, the typical festivals and the weather are completely different.
5- I thing that people have a bad stereotype of Spain because they thing that everybody like the bulls and that everybody dance “Sevillanas” but this is completely false.
6-I’m agree with Helena and also RaqueL because we have a similar opinion and our answers are similar too.

1.Yes, I like it, because is a funny video and who created the video is sincere.
ResponderEliminar2.I will use the sterotypes describing the food or the lenguage of the place. People from Spain eat ham or omelet and speak Spanish. Italian people eat pasta and speak Italian, for example.
3.I think, Spanish and Italian, aren't very different, maybe at the lenguage, but Italy is near from Spain, so we are similar.
4.Yes, I went to Andorra and to France also. Andorra is near to Spain and we have the same food, costume, lenguage and character is similar, but in France there are different food, lenguage and character, French are different like us.
5.I'm totally agree with Celia. I think, Europeans think we like the bullfight or similar things and they are wrong. But depends of the stereotype, perhaps of our food, they aren't wrong.
6.I'm agree with Raquel, Helena and Celia, because we have very similar opinions.
Esther Durán PET 1A
-I like it because it's a very funny video and you laugh a lot.
ResponderEliminar- The stereotypes I will use to describe other nations in Europe are their typical food, their clothes and their language.
-I think that the cultures around the Mediterranean are very similar because the Romans conquered all the Mediterranean so all the Mediterranean are very similar but Italy is and exception because they are eccentric, maniatic, and more things that in this blog I can not explain (¬¬)
-I have traveled to Portugal and Andorra and in both countries are very similar the only is not similar is the language.
-Only a bit because Catalonia is totally different and about the other countries I agree.
- I not agree with anyone because the video is saying that the Italians are special. I only say what I thing and it's not my problem if I say the really. Sorry Italians but that's what you have. ;)

ResponderEliminar1. Yes, I like this film, because is very interesting and at the same time is very entertaining. Also, when I watching the film I laugh a lot because is very funny, but at the same time the film compares some things that the Europeans do different that the Italians.
ResponderEliminar2. In the film are basically all the stereotypes that exist in Europe. The behaviour the Italian is similar to the Spanish, Portuguese and Greeks and other Europeans behaviour as defined in the film coincides with the Germans, French, English…
3. The stereotypes of the Italians are very similar to the Spanish. Basically we behave like the traffic, in the variety of food and the expression of emotions.
4. No, I don’t travel to any European country.
5. I would like to go to England, because I love England about his history, his culture, his food… and in the future when I finish to study English I want to go to England with my family, and with my friends.
6. I agree, because each country has its own culture and history which is not determined to be better or worse than others
7. I think that my opinions and answers about the video are similars at the Raquel's opinions and answers.
Sandra Nieto PET 1A
I like these short because compare Europe and Italy with humor. I will describe other European countries, for example with the stereotype of the highway, or the smoking because it describes well these countries. Of the stereotypes of Italy I would choose the pedestrian crossing to describe my own culture, because the cars don’t stop if there is any person crossing.
ResponderEliminarI have travelled to Andorra. It’s very little and similar to Spain. I agree with all the stereotypes less the one of the pedestrian crossing, because the cars don’t stop if there is any person crossing.

1- I like the video because it was very funny and explains good the differences between Europe and Italy.
ResponderEliminar2- I think i will use the stereotypes about the customs, the food or the language. It describes very good how is a country.
3- Spanish and Italian we aren't very different. For example, we aren't very clean. And both we are Europeans.
4- I travelled to Andorra, Portugal and France.
The most similar countries are Andorra and Portugal. Tey are very near, so de food and the customs are similar. France is different. The food is not the same, they eat a lot of cheese and snails, and we eat paella and bread whith tomato. They are quiet people and have a big culture, different than us.
6- I agree with some of the stereotypes people have, for example the people who says that we aren't perfect but we have some good things.
But some others have bad impressions and i don't agree. I know we aren't perfects but we aren't bad people.
7- I agree whith a lot of people,for example Raquel, Sandra or Helena. We have similar opinions.
Laura Hernández PET 1A

-We aren't very different from the Italians. We are clean. The streets are clean (SOMETIMES...)
-I travelled to Andorra, France, Italy, Greece and Praga. The most similar country is Andorra, the food, the language and the costums.And the most different is...Praga cause they eat all the day hamburgers, hot dogs with ketchup and chocolate whith "xurros" <>
-I agree with the stereotypes from the people, cause they said that Europenas are very clean.
-I agree with Laura, Sandra and Esther. We have the same opinion.
