 Activity 2.
1. How to find information on the Mexican economy in the year 2017, at the website of
the US State Department?

In Google advanced search, in the field “All these words” write “economy mexico report 2017”
(without the quoting marks), then in the field “site or domain” write state.gov.
Results page:
https://www.google.es/search?as_q=economy+mexico+report+2017&as_epq=&as_oq=&as_e
q=&as_nlo=&as_nhi=&lr=&cr=&as_qdr=all&as_sitesearch=state.gov&as_occt=any&safe=imag
es&as_filetype=&as_rights
I have some comments on these results. As what you can find in the website of the Department
of State is not so useful, I checked the website directly and found another website more focused
on exports, which is export.gov. If you do a new search using this website there are more results
that could be of use for you:
Results using export.gov instead of state.gov:
