RESERCH PROJECT- THE GUM WALL

✌ THE GUM WALL.


The Gum Wall is a brick wall situated beneath Pike Place Market in Downtown Seattle, Washington, United States. Located on Post Alley near Pike Street.💥

The wall is located in Post Alley adjacent to the box office for the Market Theater, a venue for comedy shows and other small performances.

The wall is located in Post Alley adjacent to the box office for the Market Theater, a venue for comedy shows and other small performances. After it became the host of Unexpected Productions' Theatresports in 1991, the theater's walls were covered by patrons' pieces of used gum that had pennies pushed into them. 

The important thing to note about the start of Seattle’s Gum Wall is it wasn’t planned.

The wall covered with gum started to be considered as a tourist attraction since 1999 some people started to create works of art with chewing gum.

It was named one of the five most germ-contaminated tourist attractions in 2009, and is a popular place to take pictures.

A scene from the 2009 film "love happens" starring Jennifer aniston was shot at this location.

In 2015 the authorities decided that they should clean the entire wall as it was eroding with all the sugar in the gum, in addition to the great contamination that this generated, according to my research it required more than 125 hours of work to remove most of the gum stuck on the wall however people continued with the tradition of putting gum on the wall.

In conclusion a simple act can start a tradition that grows year after year, and many tourist places have started this way without thinking about it become attractions and a place to take a photo of the memory.

SIMPLE PAST TENSE.

Imagen
 Hello, today I would like to explain to you everything I understood about the simple past tense. First when do we use the simple past tense?  Front my point of view is very important to explain that we  used the simple past tense to refer to actions that were done in the past and no haven't connection with the present.  for example:  In present we say: I am a  preschool student. ( if you were  really sttudying  preschool student but, you aren't a preschool student right now), So we need to say that in past simple , in others words you could say: I was a preschool student when I was 7 years old. Now let's look at the structure of the past simple tense:  Remember that in present simple  when the subject was third person is to say, he, she and it added letter "S" or "ES"  But in this grammatical time it is a little easier why the verb will be the same for all subjects in the past time, the change depends on the verb and not the subject. for example:  There

Simple Past / My accident

Hello, today I want to talk to you about a horrible day in my motorcycle driving career, I remember 5 years ago I was working in a coffee shop, and I studied in the university of el Salvador, in the mornings I worked and in the afternoon I applied for permission to attend classes, that day I left work early to go to classes but I had to go back to supervise the closing of the shop, but I didn't want to go to classes and I went to my best friend's house to talk to her. So for you to know, I didn't go to class I preferred to stay at my best friend's house, when I returned to work, a car blocked my way and hit the front tire of my motorcycle, I slipped and fell to the floor, I didn't really get up quickly from the floor and a friendly man helped me lift my bike, I remember that at that time I didn't feel pain, until suddenly one of the people who helped me told me that I was bleeding my arm. They called the ambulance and it came to help me, they helped me to stop b

Daylight Saving Time in the United States!!

  According to my research when we talk about daylight saving time in the us we mean the time change that is allowed in the United States so I understood this change originated many years ago. In the United States Daylight Saving Time begins at 2:00 a.m. local time on the second Sunday in March. On the first Sunday in November areas on Daylight Saving Time return to Standard Time at 2:00 a.m. When Daylight Saving Time begins in the United States turn your clocks ahead one hour. At the end of Daylight Saving Time turn your clocks back one hour. In a nutshell this event happens annually and is a time change that has to do with the seasons of the year.
