MY PEER GROUP

My peer group is a group whit who I have a good relation. This group is formed by the friends who I met in my childhood. But now is bigger because some people we know are attached its.
In my peer group have been created very important values. They are the result of many years together and all my friends and me know this values correctly.  We are conscious of the importance to keep a group like our.
We make many different activities and go to different places but they are habits and customs we prefer. Sometimes some friends prefer make an activity and another person has a different idea, then  we always choose something liked by the entire group.
we meet all the week ends and go to cinema, we do an interesting activity in Madrid, go to a commercial center, we dinner in a new restaurant, walk in a beautiful place… A lot of times we go to dinner and then we go to the club but sometimes there are problems to decide where we go. But is normal to have small discussion in a peer group.
My peer group have a lot of years and it has occurred many types of situations between us. But it hasn´t never happened that one girl steal the boyfriend to another or vice versa. I suppose this will result a big discussion between the main character or the group division.
In a peer group, there are friends whit different status. But in my peer group not. But few people is more decisive in decisions and I suppose if you want to increase your status, you must to be the person who organized the meetings.
It is very important to have a peer group but is more important than this to have true friends in this group because whit them you can to be comfortable, to be yourself and if you have a problem they are the person who are going to help you. They are in the good moments and also in the bad.

MY VISIT TO EARTH


Hi!! I´m an alien whit 60 years old. This is the first time I visit your planet and I have seen a lot of customs very rare. I have seen many things…
During the day most people are occupying. Many people go to places where everyone has a function.
I don´t understand anything... what do you do in your workplace? Do you obtain something to work?

Talking about children, I have seen they go to centers for several hours by day. These centers are large and small, are maked with brick or wood, with soccer fields or sandy areas to play, with young children or adolescents...
They are in classes with a chair and a table for each child. There are an adult who speaks with a book and write in a slate but in some centers the material are better than others.
In some centers the children are dressed in the same clothes but the boys are in shorts and many of the girls in skirts. They are grouped by age and older children have and watch more books than younger.
They have several breaks in which they play and eat but in some centers they eat in big eaters and in other places they eat in the street or in spaces more small.

In each country they have different customs and ways of acting but they all share something: children always go together and do the same things at the same time. They do what adults order them. They seem to try to teach reading and writing, numbers and operations rare, things in nature, drawing, play to sports...


In my opinion, it´s important go to these sites for children because they have to learn a lot of things and have good knowledge.
