the soldier

The soldier was very famous in the village because when he arrived on the village with a boat with an engine, he told people his travels around the world. He was very handsome. He had bright eyes and long dark hair.
He was a soldier, a sailor, a fisherman, and had other jobs.
He could get anything that he wanted. And he fell in love with Anita, and Rafael, too.
But the difference was that the soldier was richer than Rafael.
One day he disappeared and Anita, too. But nobody knows If they went together.

Anita was beautiful, the most beautiful child in the town. Everyone love her. They smiled when they saw her. Every year she was most beautiful than before.
Her father was Rodrigo, the shoperkeeper. He love her most than other people, and he love her more than he love his other daughter and his suns. He never let her go out with other boys of the village. Rodrigo had big plans for anita's future, he wanted to married her with a rich and important man, perhaps a man from the town.
She was very clever because her father teach her to write and read.

When Anita ran away Rodrigo get mad.

The Ring

Rafael:
He is mad; he lives in the beach in a very old boat, we think that he got mad because the soldier escaped with Anita.
His father died, he didn't have any brothers or sisters, his mother gives some food and drink to Rafael when he is in his boat, he felt in love with Anita so, he go to the port to won some money to buy a ring to Anita. The father of Anita (Rodrigo) doesn´t let Anita marry him because he is poor.

FOR A BETTER CITY!

First of all, I think that people ought not to drop litter because that pollutes the environment, so in the future it will advance and pollute a lot the environment. We can recycle the litter or just keep it in our pocket. Also, I believe that we shouldn’t burn leaves because that produces a strong smell and we can’t breathe when we pass near the burnt leaves. In addition, we ought to use more bicycles. Cars or vans expel a lot of carbon monoxide that pollutes the ozone layer and so it contributes to the global warming. Finally, I think that we mustn’t put up a lot of notices and posters because the drivers can be distracted and can crash.

Make our city a better place for all us

First of all, I think that the people mustn’t throw litter in the streets; they must throw in the trash and then recycle it.
Secondly, I believe that we should walk or use bicycles instead of use the cars, because first walk and use bicycles is healthy and a exercise, and secondly the cars pollute the environment, in addition some people doesn’t pay attention when they drive and are a lot of accidents. If doesn’t are more cars in the streets, the traffic James will disappears.
Also, I believe that should put more parks and squares.
Finally, I’m sure that if you take a walk for your pets and they do needs, you must pick up it.

Why I help my district.

I would help do my district (pony). Putting in each street e sweepings tin. This would help to that people do not throw but papers to the floor. A police in each block therefore the insecurity diminishes a little. Thus it is as I would help my district.

the environment

First of all, I think that people in "La Boca" pollute because they don´t recycle.
Secondlly,I´m sure that the "Riachuelo" will be a lot cleaner if we don´t waste it.
Also,we must pick up the litter on the street, because when Boca Juniors plays in there are many rubbish later, for example.Finally,I beliave that we need to use renewable energy.
Finally, I´think we have to clean up evrything if we pollute it.

`How to make our neighbourhood better

First of all people should stop thowing litter in the streets and that would be easier if there were more recyclable and non recyclable trash cans. Then, streets should be re-paved.

How to Make our City a Better Place to Live by Andres Otero

First of all , the city is full of litter we have to clean our streets and pick up all the litter. All the litter dropped in the streets is messy . i think we don´t pick up the litter "because we haven't dropped it ".But I we have done so; and example dogs do their things and owners don't pick that up .We have to be a little more responsible with the litter.
Secondly, we must take care of the environment , it will be dangerous if we don`t care it . It will be dangerous for all of us and the planet. We only have one environment, so take care of it!
Finally we must recycle , to
preserve our resources. we can recylce a lot of things but we must recycle , to take more care of the environment ,but if it isn`t recycable you have to drop it in the trash .

What can we do about the problems we have in our city?

First of all, the air is not exactly clean and the pollution caused by cars is so dangerous that people must wear masks in the street.
Secondly, if we go by underground we can avoid traffic jams, but perhaps the best way of getting around is by getting on our bike. It can be more dangerous but we can have special bycicle lanes and going by bike is a good exercise for us.
We mustn`t drop litter on the streets, in our parks and on our beaches.
Finally, we should recycle our bottles, plastic and paper and we will all have a cleaner planet.

How to make our city a better place for all of us?


First of all, I think that our city needs more bins where we can throw our litter andrubbish. Wejust throw the litter everywhere and it pollutes the atmosphere. Wehave to think if we can recycleit too.
Also, I believe that the world´s temperature is gettin higher so we use a lot of air conditioning
. In my opinion we shouldn´t waste nonrenewable energy in this kind of things andwe should use other energy, like renewable energy. For example: solar energy, wind energy, waves and hidro electric dam. In addition, we should walk or use the bicycles for short journeys,or use the subterrane because it don´t pollute the atmosphere.
Finally, I´m sure that our city will be better and the air will be more fresh if the factoryes disappear because they make fumes that pollute the atmosphere.

What we must have todo to have a better city/neighborhood

I think that all the people must think what they are going to do twice times to do their future better, because if you do not do something well the others persons going to do the same thing that you do, and if you do something well the other persons are going to do the same you do too. Firstly, the goberment must put more parks (landscaping) so the neighborhood is more beautiful and the air does not make too bad.I believe that the public workers (taxi and bus drivers) should respect better the traffic rules, like ordinary people.People should separate the garbage in the following ways: Recyclable, non recyclable and rest (obviusly that they must not throw paper and bottle in the street). Finally the goberment must renew every things that have to be renew time ago. I think if we do a little thing from any rule we can do a better city/neighborhood.
