Sports Maniac

Hi, my name is Juan M, I have 13 years old and I am in seventh grade at Colegio Jorge Washington of Cartagena, Colombia. I have two brothers older than me and I also have many friends. My school starts at 7:00A.M and it ends at 2:30P.M. My seventh grade teachers are Mr. Hide and Ms. Hall. My favorite sport is soccer and for me I play it very well. I like to play other sports like baseball, basketball, ping pong e.t.c. The things that I do when I am with my friends are to go to the Campito 2010, a mini soccer field, and play soccer with my friends, to go to Mc Donald's, Otoyal, Crepes and Waffles, and other restaurants. Some times we go to the closest theatre to see a movie. I am in the school’s soccer team as some of my friends and every year we have some tournaments with schools from other cities. We tournament called Binational Games were we go to another city for about a week to play sports. We have to recesses at school. The first one starts at 10:15A.M to 10:45A.M and in this recess we play. The second recess starts at 12:40P.M to 1:00P.M and in this recess we eat and sometimes we play.

When I grow up I want t have a good job were I earn a good amount of money. A job where I feel good working. Some jobs that I have in mind are an engineer or an arquitect.

Here are some issues that I chose for me English project:

· Drugs and Alcohol: Younger people are consuming a lot of alcohol and drugs. This can influence more kids to consume it because some are seen it daily.

· Environmental: The causes of the global warming are smog burned fuels, smoke from factories, burned trash, etc. This can affect us later with the melting of the ice on the poles which cause higher sea level. The increasing of the sea level can affect cities build near the ocean.

· Crimes: Some people are making many crimes like stealing, corruption, murders and these are damaging cities. For example, if someone wants to build a bridge so he give an specific amount of money to the bridge builders. The chief of the builders takes half of the money to himself and the other half is use to buy cheap materials to build the bridge. Because the bridge is going to be made by cheap and bad materials, when the bridge is built it may damage soon.

New things for my intro:


Technology: It wil affect us in the future in good and bad ways. The good ones are that the things are going to be faster and easier to do because new machines can be able to make you stuff in seconds so you don´t need to be in a hurry. And the bad ones are that some persons are going to loose their jobs because new machines are going to do their job.
