Our foods and Drinks.

What kinds of food and drinks do you have where you live? Someone post this question on the teen life wiki. This question is very simple but it has a lot to answer. Well, were I live The typical food is fish, coconut rice, and sometimes soup. This food is so delicious becuase the poeple that cook it has been all there lifes doing this. Here in Cartagena, Colombia we rink a lot of things. We have coke, Naranja, Uva, Manzana, Sprite, 7up, crush that has different types. We also have natural juices. I like Lulo, Lemonade, Maracuya, and Pine apple. You now that here we have a lot of humid clamate, and hot climate so we use t drink fresh things. I drink a lot of water but I dnt drink too much coke because coke is the worst thing in the world. Maybe for some people cke is delicious but I accept it but it is very bad. We have potato chps, french fries, chcolate. One of the things yu have that we dont have is mountain dew. Mountain dew is so delicious I love it. We also have a lot of chocolates like snickers, milky way but you know what we dont have. We dont have Reccess. Reccess is one of my favorite chcolates it's so bad that we odnt have it here. The candy that is typical here are cocada, dulce de coco that is cocnut candy, we also milk candy (dulce de leche), Caballitos and much more.

Really we have a variety of candys, drinks, and food. I am very happy with what I have in my country. Really I dont think that to be a beautiful country we need to have all the foods in the world, I think tha what is important is that poeple keep up our same food and candies so we can save our tradition because this food is from long time ago.

Another question I want to answer from the teen life wiki is: Is poverty a big issue in your place? Well, were I live the 70% of the poeple are poor. Its really sad that poeple that are rich don even mind about poor poeple. This people are poor because they could not study becuase hey didnt have money. If there is more poverty there would be more poeple without study so more poeple would be poor. Maybe in other places poverty is not a such a big problem as here in Cartagena. Its sad to see little kids with very bad condition clothes selling candies at the streets s they can get some money to eat. Sometimes you can see old but very old mans that are singing with their guitar so them they collect their money. Its really sad seeing that each day poverty is increasing more and more. Also their is a lot of displaced people. Some poor people sleep at the streets over some cardboard. I dont know how do they survive. Sometimes we dont value the things we have but poor people would value even a little piece of crackers. I hope this porblem would decrease because Cartagen and all Colombia are suffering a lot.

TLP Introduction

Hi, my name is Juliana. I am 12 years old in May 8, I would be 13! I live in Cartagena, Colombia. Cartagena is a beautiful city because of its history and its beaches. I live in an apartment with my sister which is 16 years old, my mom, my dad, and my grandma. I share bedroom with my sister but I would move to a new apartment so I would have my own bedroom. My grandma is a very important person to me. She is the only grandma that is left in my family. My dad and my mom are my heroes I love them a lot. I have a group of best friends. It is not so big but we have a very good relationship. We go out Fridays and Saturdays to eat to Mc Donalds, or walk by the bay. In the week I go first to school then after school I go to soccer practices because I am in the soccer team of my school. After soccer I call my mom to pick me up at school and I go with her to the gym. For me doing exercise is very important becuase when I do it I feel very good with myself.

I am interested in 3 issues but I am not sure which one I am going to choose. One of my issues is smoking. This is an issue that is very important to me to the person that makes it and to the world. The person that smokes is not only damaging him, he is also damaging our atmosphere and the people around them. Smoking is very bad because when you taste it for the first time you will be desperated to tasted again and again so this would became a normal for you to do it. Maybe you wont feel that danger you are making to yourself but as time passes this would became a big problem. Smoking is like drugs is the same thing because you cannot leave it.

Another issue I am also interested in is poverty. Poverty is one of the most biggest problems in the world. People that are facing this problems are the ones that didn't study. This relates to education, because people that dont go to school are the ones that became poor. Because of lack of study when they grow up they cannot work in successfull jobs so they would not have enough money to give their children education so when this child grows up he would be as his father. Its like a cicle without study more poverty so without money no study without study no job it is all related to each other. This things make people encourage theirselves to study and move forward alone.

The last issue is health. Health is getting worst every time. People that is poor is facing more problems than poeple that has more money. Poor people cannot pay a doctor but rich people can. Life expectancy is dicreasing becuase of this reasons. Also poor people that live in bad conditions can have more diseases coming to them. This is happening in all parts of the world even in the richest part. Other causes of dicreasing health is that poeple eats and eat bad food and do not do exercise. This is very bad because they can die because of a heart attack because of too much choresterol. Maybe if you are doing every day exercise or playing some sports you can eat whatever you want this is a very important reason.
