Charity. What do you think of it?

So it's almost Christmas. The shopping centers, schools and squares are all decorated for Christmas celebration. We know many people are getting desperate thinking about what gifts to buy, how to buy more and spend less, where to travel, how to decorate their houses and all kinds of "preparation".
Besides doing all that, many people start looking for places to give things or money as charity or organize charity or foun-raising events this time of the year. That made me curious about what you think of Christmas and charity. I'm not saying one depends on the other, it's just that charity is very common during Christmas time and that called my attention (and aroused my curiosity). ;)
I found this video where a girl asks people if they give to charity. According to her, maybe giving to charity has become a trend. What do you think?

Do you give to charity? What do you give?

How should we behave at the cinema?

Hi, guys! On wednesday, 3A students talked about how people should behave in different situations. I was checking some videos on youtube and I found this one from Mr. Bean.



For those who don't know, "Mr. Bean is a British comedy television series (...) starring Rowan Atkinson as the title character. The first episode was broadcast on ITV on 1 January 1990.
Based on a character developed by Rowan Atkinson at university, the series followed the exploits of Mr. Bean, described by Atkinson as 'a child in a grown man's body' in solving various problems presented by everyday tasks and often causing disruption in the process. The show has been sold in 200 territories worldwide, and has inspired two feature films and an animated cartoon spin-off."

Enjoy the video, make comments and answer this question:
HOW SHOULD WE BEHAVE AT THE CINEMA?
Don't forget to use can; is/are allowed to; must; have to; should and the negatives if necessary. ;)
