KW' ..-m...,,, 'W FINLAND Elias Lahdesmaki -.14 Elias was born and raised on a domestic farm in Finland's countryside. On coming to this part of California, he missed seeing lakes CFinIand has GOKJ but said he thought it was just marvelous anyway. lt is really nice when you can move from ski area to summer climate in a few hours. Elias found his customs to differ also and offered an example of what he meant: The first time I had a hamburger, I started to eat it with a fork and a knife, because we always use a fork and knife in Finland. But I think I'lI keep that habit, to eat with fingers, when I go back. High school is different too. In Finland, high school is voluntary, and before entering a hard test must be passed. Every day is a different schedule and lasts from SLD to lm. And there is no reason for goofing offl We don't have as many social activities as you do because the main idea is that school is for scholastic studies. Elias plans to attend college and then enter the army. -What's his favorite American entertainment? American girls. CHILE Beatriz Bravo To Beatriz, the most different and astonishing thing about Califor- nia is the number of cars. But she finds California weather and geography very similar to her native Chile. She especially favors Heavenly Valley, which she thinks is marvelous. Homestead is very different from my high school, states Beatriz. We don't have boys. My high school is of Gm girls only. We have to take I2 subjects that are all obligatory, and we can't choose them. l like it here the best. Upon graduation from Homestead though, Beatriz will return to Chile and study for a law or political science degree. As for school social life, Beatriz points out there are no football or basketball games at her school, but, We have volleyball games that are very enjoyable. -What is Beatriz's favorite American food and sport? - lce cream and snow skiing. ll. 48 l gag li uizueufxv I l' Gilda Dechaara in-uw , This is Gilda's first trip to the U.S. She finds California very beautiful, and not as crowded as in the cities of Uruguay. When asked where she had learned English, Gilda replied, ln an American Institute. The classes are especially designed to teach the students to speak English. As compared to her regular high school, she states Homestead is very different. At my high school, we have I2 subjects and all are obligatory. We go to school only in the mornings but also on Saturday. We don't have the same subjects every day, and the teachers move instead of the students. On her return, Gilda plans to attend college. -What does she like best about America? The roller coaster. We have one in Uruguay, but I went on one for the first time here. fl was very afraidly'
