Homework #1
pg. 114 - 115 in el libro
PERSPETIVA CULTURAL
¿Qué haces cuando estás enfermo(a)? ¿Llamas al médico? ¿Tomas medicina que te receta el médico?

Look at the photos (in the book so you can't see them - the photo Curandera (1989), Carmen Lomas Garza (showing a young girl in bed with a woman beside her, holding leaves, and the photo with the caption Esta médica española le examina la presión arterial a la joven. What two kinds of health care are represented here? Why might someone who is sick sometimes choose one kind of health care abd sometimes another?

Imagine that you aren't feeling well. Your mother talks to some older women she knows, but they can't agree on what your illness is or how to treat it.

There is a woman in your community who is not a doctor but who is known to be able to help people who are sick. You go see her. She asks about your symptoms and your recent activities. She may prescribe massage, chamomile tea or some other type of herbal drink, or a mustard plaster. You do what she recommends, and soon you feel better.

Members of many ethnic groups treat an illness in this way. They may consult a doctor, or they may decide the illness can be more easily cured by consulting a folk healer.

LA CULTURA DESDE TU PERSPECTIVA
Please check if my answers are O.K.
1. Why might someone choose to go to a folk healer instead of a doctor? A folk healer might know more about the medicine you should take for an illness than a doctor.
2. If you were living in a Spanish-speaking country and your friends and neighbors went to folk healers, would you do the same? Why or why not? I would go to a doctor because a doctor knows what illness you have and what you should do to get better.

First, I leaving me give you the congratulation for you magnificent work, that you have made here in this post, I don't know as you have could to make that but, you have made very well almost every things in your homework only I tell you as a counsel, you don't use much the translate machine because you need to learn all the words in Spanish, yes it's good sometimes to use that but, I don't try to use much that. Well I found only two mistakes in your homework, then I will correct you now.

5)
a. --Veo que Elena no juega basquetból. you wrote Juga and, it's correctly write Juega.
--No, creo que le duelen los brazos.
b. --Veo que Rafa no juega béisbol. you wrote Juga and, it's correctly write Juega.
--No, creo que le duelen las piernas.

Almost perfect.

Well done.

[Jessica]

isn't jugar conjugated to juga in a and b?

[Rusty]

No, it's supposed to be juega. Jugar is irregular (u -> ue). I didn't think it was worth pointing it out when I checked your answers because these weren't in your answers, just in the questions.

[Jessica]

ohh yeah oops. Thanks, Crotalito
