TUESDAY'S QUESTION


DO YOU KNOW WHERE THIS IS? Write the answer in your blog.
Yesterday's Internet research results:
The average American eats 63 dozen donuts a year.
The average American eats 24.5 gallons of ice cream a year.
The average American drinks the equivalent of 38 six packs of beer, 12 bottles of wine, and 2 quarts of distilled spirits a year.
The average American is 17 pounds overweight.
The average American has 13 days of paid vacation.
24% of Americans have tattoos.
19.8% of Americans smoke.
76% of Americans own a computer.
12.4% of Americans are immigrants
39% own guns.
Young adults eat out about 24 times a month. They spend an average of $6.00. The average American spends 880.00 eating out a year. The average household spends 2,211.00 a year.

INTERNET RESEARCH: Please look up last night's question, comparing it to other countries. Try to include your own country. THEN, write 3 different sentences, with only ONE of them true. Bring those sentences to class, and we will guess which one is correct.
For example, my question was, "What percent of people smoke in the US?"
My 3 sentences are:

20 percent of Americans smoke, but in Ukraine, 35 percent smoke.
20 percent of Americans smoke, but in Ukraine, 67 percent smoke.
20 percent of Americans smoke, but in Ukraine, only 11 percent smoke.

(I will tell you the correct answer in class!)

If you didn't have time to do the grammar assignment yesterday, please do it today.
