Dear NI1 students,
I'd also like you to listen to this video on the hippie movement in San Francisco in the 60's.
- How many people visit the area on daily basis?
- Where exactly did they gather?
- Why didn't the police want to move them away?
- Did the hippies like to be visited?

Hello Mª Jose:
I've been watching the San Francisco's video in your blog. I found it very interesting,and I think is a good supplement for the book.
Here are my answers:
- Eight thousand hippies had invaded the area.
- They gather exactly in Haight Ashbury Street, although they wanted to change its name for "Love Street".
- The police planned not to hurry in case they moved to other areas. They wanted to keep them in one easily controllable district.
- In the video there was a bill where I could read the next words: "ATTENTION TOURISTS: We are no freaks to be gawred(*)at. Go to the zoo and look at the animals". I couldn´t read the last sentence, but I understood hippies didn´t like to be visited by tourists.
(*)I've been looking for the meaning of "gawred" but I didn't find it. Perhaps I had read it bad. Could you help me please?
Thank you.
Sorry, I made a mistake in my comment, I wanted to say "Here my anwers are".
Hi Isabel!
You wrote it fine at first: "here are a my answers".
BTW, your answers are correct. And the verb you saw on the poster is:
"to gawk" which means to stare, look at something in a stupid way, for instance when you are a tourist and look at a building as if it were the first time you see one.
Good job!!
