Model

In my faculty, we say «Buenos días, doctora». In English: Good morning, Doctor. With friends: Hi! How's it going?

Your career in this forum

Write about your career (its exact name in the UNAH Oferta Académica). Choose the example of your area and change it:

  • Health sciences: Good morning, Mr. López. How are you today?
  • Engineering & technology: Hi, team! See you at the meeting.
  • Business & economics: Good afternoon. Welcome to the bank.
  • Education, humanities & communication: Good evening, everyone. Welcome to the show.

Cultural connection · I PAC

Event of this week: Lunar New Year (Saturday, February 6). See it in your I PAC Cultural Passport.

Your cultural mission: People say «Happy Lunar New Year!». Is it formal or informal? Write a greeting for a friend and one for a professor.

Mirror Honduras: How do families in Honduras celebrate a new year? Compare the food and the colors.

Include one comparison between the U.S. and Honduras: one similarity and one difference.

Be respectful: say «In my experience…» or «In my city…», not «All Americans…» or «All Hondurans…». Need ideas? Ask SofIA Cultural.
