Hello Carmen,

These are my comments about the definitions you have included:

- What are economic activities? Before writing the types, you have to define what economic activities are.

- Socialist economic system: You can include the workers in the definition.

- The last definition refers to centrally planned economies: this was a type of economic system based on socialist ideology where the State was the owner of the capital and means of production.


I think it would be a good idea that you put the words you have defined in bold and in capital letters. This way it will be easier to difference the defined word from its definition.

Review also the spelling mistakes: How do you write "propietarios" and "trabajadores" in English?

Please, don´t forget to read your classmates´ comments and correct what they indicate you.

Good work, Carmen.

Hello again Carmen,

You haven´t corrected the mistakes. It´s very important that you do it as soon as possible. I´m taking this into account for final mark of this term.
