Info graphic Blog post

    I researched my leisure activity which is reading books and I found so many interesting things about it. Both male and female read books but the average is different. 6/10 articles I searched were about women and 4/10 articles I searched were about men. In my activity, the women seem to be more focused and reading books more than men. Men read books too but the average of women is more than the average of men. Men and Women have different ways of reading books. Women have patience and they seem happy while reading. But, men seems to have less patience and less interested in reading books. Unlike women, men get bored by reading.  

  

  I learned a lot of things from this activity. Reading books isn't about gender. Everybody likes to read books. But, girls like to read books more because they like to discover new things and they are interested in learning by reading. But, most of the men like to play more than reading books. That's why, my google research says that women read more than men.

The Article

Best Restaurants of New York

According to the article, there are many restaurants in New York. But, there are only a few restaurants that serves good food and have a good ranking. By looking at the rank people can go to the restaurants and eat. The author in this article talks about his restaurant and the ranking he got for his restaurant. His restaurants was at 10 in ranking. Many food was removed from his restaurant. New food have been added in his book. Because of the food many people visit that place. They added Mexican food in the menu. 

By reading the article I learned so many things about food. Sometimes people in our neighborhood go to restaurants by seeing the ranking. But, they shouldn't do that. Restaurants with less ranking can also have good foods. Because people don't like to go to those restaurants that's why the manager or the chief needs to change the menu for people and make it interesting to attract peoples' attention. They also add new foods like Chinese food, Mexican food etc. I feel people shouldn't go to restaurants because they are classy. Small Restaurants can have good food too.

Leisure Map

My Neighborhood

https://mapsengine.google.com/map/edit?hl=en&hl=en&authuser=0&authuser=0&mid=z1X-VFA_JWnM.kzoGoIyMnt04

I chose the Bronx because that's where I live. I chose McDonalds, Dominos, Park, Community College and the Models store because these are the places that are close to my house and those places have really good stuff. The similarities between my peer's and mine are we both like to go to places like McDonalds and Stores for shopping. The difference is, my partner likes to go to places that are a little far from her house or neighborhood but I like to be near my neighborhood so that I can go there quickly. My peer's leisure map represents neighborhood by the fact that it's very close to her house. I learned a lot from today's lesson about neighborhood because now I know how important is it to have a good neighborhood. In our free time we can go to those places and enjoy. So, it has a great impact in our life.
