El Ambiente

Los dos artículos sobre el medio ambiente y la destrucción. En el artículo primero, estudiantes en comunidades latinos le dieron sobre los problemas ambientales en sus comunidades. Las personas dieron que los problemas son la bota de basura, la contaminación de los coches, el abuso de la energía, y los humos de las grandes factorías, los coches, y los aerosoles. Estos problemas destruyen los lagos, ríos, selvas, playas, y el aire. Estos problemas existen en todas comunidades en el mundo. El articulo segundario sobre la contaminación también. Dio que la destrucción de la capa de ozono y el agua. También dio que derrame de petróleo en el mar de Costa Rica y es un peligro grande. Las comunidades locales necesito que cambien sus costumbres malas. El medio ambiente es importante para nuestras vidas y las vidas de nuestros hijos. La destrucción no puede ser fijada. El mundo no va sobrevivir por mucho tiempo en la contaminación publico y conservan energía.

PAZ!

Paz es un elemento más importante en el mundo. Si no tuviera paz, habría destrucción peleas y guerra similar a Colombia. Colombia no tiene paz y la guerrilla arreció sus combates. Los países que no tienen paz son más pobreza, tienen muchas enfermadas, y son corruptos. Para arreglar el problema, necesito un gobierno que esta de acuerdo con sus ciudadanos y sus vecinos. Necesitan líderes que sepan los problemas y están dispuestos cambiar el país. Los ciudadanos necesito que se paren contra la pelea y las personas que tirano. ¡Tengo espero para el futuro y es posible para todos países a tener paz!

Pandillas

Luis Ernesto Romero es una persona bueno. El hizo cosas muy malo en la pasada, pero ahora es tratando apoyar los niños que están en pandilleros. Las personas que están en pandilleros hace cosas malo: asesinato, pegar, disparar, y puñalada. Las personas necesitan apoye y es muy bueno que un pandillero anterior es haciendo. En mi comunidad, hay muchas pandillos y mucho crimen. Las culturas diferentes de mexicanas no les gustan uno al otro. Es peligro que andar en la noche por usted mismo y es una vergüenza que no me sienta seguro en mi vecindario. También, no quiero vivir en una comunidad que no confío para dejar mis hijos en el aire libre sólo. Espero que podamos cambiar la comunidad y se deshacemos de las pandillas.
