AN AMERICAN CAME

By: Lidia Sanclemente Carretero         

Intro:

Last Tuesday Vicente commented that a Native American would
come and that we had to ask questions, since we were on the subject of stereotypes.

Preparation:

We asked questions about what we wanted to know about stereotypes.
I asked a few questions.

Mine were as follows:

-Wich is the tipic food?

-Do all us people carry guns?

-Is it polite to ask about political creed?

-Is it polite to ask about sexual- orientation?

-It's the Americans Supesticiosos?

-Are the stereotypes we have of your country true?

-What are the americans' opinión about spanish (people) ?
Who like to party, nap, relax...

Personal Opinion

Under my point of view was interesting to know what we told but
I lack more content on the part of stereotypes because it is the subject
that we were talking and for that the questions were asked.
