2. This word "fika" must be written on a sheet in a hidden way so that nobody can see it.
3. Each student has 10 questions and 5 minutes to guess the theme. (Ie is a known thing in the world? Is made by adults or children, etc.).
4. responses to help other students to get more information before making your next question about the behavior of people while doing this "cultural event".
5.After 5 minutes or 10 questions will be the turn of another student.

Testo
Città del Messico è una città piena di vita durante tutto la giornata. Anche le persone che amano vivere in campagna non possono resistere davanti al fascino di questa città brulicante di vita dove vivono più di 17 milioni di abitanti. La capitale del Messico è stata costruita 400 anni fa nel posto dove si trovava la città azteca, collocata in pieno centro del paese. È una città particolare perché è la città più in altura al mondo. La sua altitudine è di 2239 metri ed è circondata nei suoi tre lati from the mountain. The very rapid growth of population has created problems of accommodation, transport and pollution. In addition, there is a high risk of earthquakes as the last earthquake in 1989. In the center of the city is Zocalo, which is the location of the old government and the spiritual ministry of the Aztecs. Nearby, we can see the tree-lined streets in contrast to the narrow streets and English colonial buildings. To the south east, lies the famous gardens of Xochimilco, where there are the remains of the lake. There are parks and squares in all areas surrounding the city, where local people and traditions of Europe were mixed with contemporary culture.
The majority of the city is constructed in a way to network of roads from north to south and from east to west. The numbers of houses and roads can change from one neighborhood to another.
Go around the city by subway and bus is cheap and efficient.
Many taxi cars are yellow Volkswagen Beetles and there are also mini-bus that can take you and take you anywhere you want to go in a direction of a stretch. However, you must be careful about the theft of wallet in the bus and the street.
