1 Tell us about your hometown its importance etc. Wagner deCamargo 1. What do you think of American food, girls or boys, and our basic living standards? I love American food! I-Iumm! The girls also! The basic living standard here in America I'm sure is one of the best. 2. Any other comments you would like to make. I'l like to express my appreciation for everyone who has been helping me and supporting me on my school work, especially the teachers. I'm glad I had a chance to know everyone, teachers and friends, you made my staying here a great adventure which I'll remember always. Well what s happening in my hometown, or the island right now is that the islands are trying to free themselves from the United States. The reason why is because we've been under the United States administration for twenty years, yet, nothing is changed. There is no progress. For example, education and economics, we think that if we ourselves could do something then there would be a change in the standards of living. 2. What is your general observations about the U.S., C.S.I., and Twin Falls? I would say that here at C.S.I. in Twin Falls we ought to have more social activities and things like that. Because I think to make a better school then we need more activities and enter- tainments. 190
