In this exercise, we need to explain the danger for pedestrians. What situation do they repeatedly put themselves in?

Pedestrians put themselves in danger by crossing the streets and not paying attention to signs and cars on the road.

Los transeúntes se ponen en peligro al cruzar las calles y no prestar atención a las señalizaciones y los autos en la vía.

In this exercise, explain what the article says about distraction.

El problema parece ser la distracción, ya que los peatones cruzan las calles hablando por teléfono o mandando mensajes lo que los convierte en una especie de zombi que desconoce los peligros de cruzar las calles.

*(The problem seems to be distraction, since pedestrians cross the streets talking on the phone or sending messages, which turns them into a kind of zombie who does not know the dangers of crossing the streets)*.

In this exercise, in english we need to explain the meaning of the following:

Silveira cree que el uso del teléfono celular aumenta la predisposición a la conducta anárquica propia del peatón argentino. Está más que distraído: absorto en el tema que le propone desde el teléfono, sea trivial o importante. La calle presenta cada vez más peligros, y la gente no parece poder resolverlos mientras usa el celular.

Silveira believes that cell phone use increases the predisposition to anarchic behavior typical of the Argentine pedestrian. They are distracted and absorbed in the information that the phones gives them. So people are not aware of all the danger that the streets present while using their cell phones.

In this exercise, we need to explain what Gustavo Brambatti has to say about the cell phone situation.

Brambatti argues that the cell phone presents a problem, because it causes a lack of attention, which means that people cannot act effectively in unexpected situations while walking on the streets.

Brambatti argumenta que el celular presenta un problema, porque causa falta de atención lo que genera que las personas no puedan actuar de forma efectiva ante situaciones inesperadas mientras transitan por las calles.

In this exercise, we need to complete the chart with statistical information presented in this article.
