The educational system is very different too. in the school the teachers change rooms so the students are permanently in the same room for all the periods. There, in high school, the students have to take thirteen classes. We have some of them every day and others one or two times in the week. About the climate we don't have four seasons. Our climate is tropical with a lot of rain. Where I live it's warm and it's fun because in this place we have many rivers and I go with my friends to swim and fish there. There is a big difference between Columbia and seine states of the USA, like Nevada. Ari7ona, Colorado, etc. In my country the land is very green. It has a lot of trees and all different kinds of agricultural products especially coffee and cattle. also we have developed many big industries. To know about all these differences between the U.S,A. and my country are very important to me because I have had a great experience and I know a lot of new things about your advanced country. ,gawk For me it has been a good experience, to be an exchange student. I have learned new customs and the most important thing is learning English which is a universal language, With my American parents I am marvelously happy and also with my brothers and sisters. I am also happy to be a part of the Western Warriors which is the best school in I.as Vegas. 644411 EMMA! In this article I'd like to mention some of the difference between American school system and Paraguayan systems. I want you to know that I come from a private school and even in Paraguay these school are different than our public schools. The teachers don't have their own classroom. the students do, We stay in our rooms and the teachers move around every one or two hours. We have to take about ten subjects every year. but we don't have all of them in one day, .95 Everytime someone asks me about the difference between the US. and Spain, I give different answer. and after that I always think I will never be able to explain exactly the way of life in Spain. Maybe that happens because in some ways the two countries are not alike at all, Not only the language makes the difference. but also the customs. food. etc.. Lct's take for example. the school, While in Spain it is mostly an academic place where people cannot choose the subjects and where people go only to study: in America. it is a place in which sports. clubs, and other kinds of activities are an important part of the academic courses. In the other hand. a normal Spanish person goes out more than a person in America does. Transportations and short distances make it possible there. Here, without a car is hard to go anywhere and even if you have it, you just go out on Ifriday and Saturday night. Stopping to think about the drinking age and the problem you always have when you are under Zl and want to find a , place to dance or spend part of the night tnight life is one ofthe biggest things in my countryj you will possibly understand why schools are so important for the young people in America, I.ife is modern here. Iivcrything seems to me so new and big. In Iiurope. buildings, roads, art, etc.. give you the idea of an old country. I-'amily life. politics. religious can be different too. but not too much. rata
