Responce to TLW

In the Teen Life Project WIKI (Anna / Mr. Fisher's class) asked: Do you have any special places where you and your friends can go and have fun? And (DanielB/ Mr. Raisdana) said if you do have special places where you and your friends can go and hang out, how often do you go, and how do you feel afterwards? The answers are that we do have a place; it is called “El Campito”. It is a small soccer field that is made of synthetic grass and synthetic sand so it is difficult to cut your self. “El Campito” has some thing cool that is that it has a pizza store and a place to buy sodas, water, Gatorade and junk food so you can drink some thing after you play. We play there a lot that much that we are friends of the manager. We go to “El Campito” all weekends and also in school days. It costs 90 thousand pesos an hour but normally we pay 70 thousand pesos because there is a friend that reserves a lot so he is the one that most has reserved in the place, when he reserves they give us free bags of water after we play. There are also tournaments in there and we won the one that we entered. We won the entrance to an other tournament, a stereo, a ball, and a bid cup. Playing there is very cool!!!In the Teen Life Project

WIKI (Derek/Mr.Fisher's class) asked how far advanced is your technology in your place? The answer is that the technology in Colombia is very good and the things that we don’t have in technology are not necessary. We have many things that are new in technology. We have big plasma TVs, escalators, portable computers, new consoles like ps3 and Nintendo Wii, and in the capital, Bogotá they made a big improvement in technology in bridges. They invented a machine that makes the bridge safety. When I go to the United States the technology is better but still Cartagena has a good technology and the difference is not that much. I don’t know how is the technology in Canada or in Malaysia so I compare it with the technology of the United States, but I hope to know about the technology in Canada or in Malaysia soon.

In the Teen Life Project WIKI (Amber/ Ms. Baber) asked Do you have a big school or do you have a small school? How many kids go to your school?
The answer is that our school is small and it has about 500 students, but the school is going to move to a bigger place that will be huge. We are moving there in about 2 and a half years. The school will have like 12 fields 2 of each sports and maybe they put a pool. The school took the decision to move because there are to many students for the school, but in the classed there is space. I want to move know.

Me


Me
My name is Andres. I am 13 years old and I live in Cartagena, Colombia. I study at a school called Jorge Washington but everybody calls the school Cojowa.I love soccer; I play it all the time. I play soccer at school, at my house, at the beach, and at the club Cartagena that is a very popular place in Cartagena. There is an other place were we play a lot and that place is my house The last bacations we found a trainer and after every class we went to my house and play soccer, I think we went to my house every day on that vacations.I think that I like soccer so much because it’s what most boys of my age on Cartagena play on weekends and in recess.The life in Cartagena is very fun. This is because it is a small city so every thing is very close. An other thing is that a can go to many places by foot and it will take like maximum 15 minutes.One of the central issues and concerns of my nation is the poor people. Many times me and other persons of my age are related by poor people when there is a man or a women asking for money or for something to eat, there are other times that we are related to the poor people like when we are robed or kidnapped for then asking the parents for money.In other countries this problem isn’t so big. For example in Canada and in the united states this problem isn’t so big. Well not that I know.There are other country’s that this problem is worst like in Afghanistan. It seams that every one on there is poor!!!!! There are other issues like the ozone layer is desapering. This is for me a very big problem, and there are people that don’t help on nothing to keep the ozone layer like it is. For example there are some industries that throw many bad things to the air and that bad things go to the ozone layer and make it despear more.

The last issue I will talk about is terrorism. I need to talk about it because it is almost every were. You never know if you have a terrrist close when yo goin an airplain. There are sme terorist in colombia called LAS FARC and they are in the woods. So when you go to the farm you normaly you need to go wih a bodyguard. It is borrinng to have the min colombia. I hope some day thay give up and come to be normal persons and ike that can go to my farm when ever I want.

I hope this problems are solved some day.

LAS FARC give your wepons!!!!!
