It´s set in the present even though the movie start with some scenes in the past .It takes place in small town in E.U. The history is very simple, It´s a comedy about five fiends who played on a middle school basketball team together in the 70s, and 30 years later they got together for their coach's funeral and they decided to spend time together with their families in a house that is near on the lake. Grown ups kept me laughing out loud, the film is so entertaining that even if you’re not a fan of comedy movies you might want to see this one because the plot is very funny. There are some simply hilarious moments. I think that It´s fun for the whole family.

<span style="color: #800080; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">__COMMENTS READINGS__ · **TKT article** I think that the article is very interesting because it give us some useful ways to try to improve our English skills. I kwon some of the strategies that are mention in the article, but it seem to me that the best strategy is the method in which use the Teacher feedback, because in this method you can understand why you have made the mistake and how to put it right. Although I kwon that is a little difficult when it’s a group whit a lot of students, that’s why another methods that could be useful are work whit groups and Whole-class correction. · **Colleges loans- question** Why are some education policy experts saying that the debt has broad implications for the current generation? · **Digital manners** **Paragraph 3** I think the main idea of this paragraph is that nowadays the people used to have bad manner as a consequence of the constant use of technology. <span style="color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 115%;"><span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 115%;">I think the world food crisis exist in some countries and nowadays we can see some consequences of that, one example of that is in Mexico where the corn is the most important food staple and the country don’t have the capacity to produced the all corn necessary to the people. I totally agree that the dynamics of national supply and the demand have led to increased imports of agricultural products putting Mexico in a situation in which the sector´s trade deficit has been rising. That’s why the government has to do different kind of things to solve this big problem.

<span style="color: #800080; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 140%;">__ childhood story __ My happiest memory is my first swimming lesson. I took my firts swimming lesson when I was 8 years old. I remember that I was really scared. When I met the teacher I was really nervous but then I relaxed because She was very nice, I remember that She used to give us candies at the end of the class. The lesson was good because I met other kids and I did fun things. It was a good experience because I learnt to swim and I made new friends.
