The USA in the Roaring Twenties

Growing Cities

In 1920s, more Americans lived in towns and cities than the country. Yhe 1920s cities were growing fast. The growing cities with its imposing skyline of skycrapers were built because there was no land available, in New York. Throughout the 1920s there was tension between rural USA snd urban USA.

Our school field

This report is to know and improve the school field but first I had to interview with my school mates to know specifically what we had to improve.

The good points are:

. It has a barbecue where we protect us from thee rain.

. It´s only ours because the school doesn´t rent it as other schools.

. It has a vestry to dress up for a match or something else.

The bad points are the ideas we have to improve this field.

. There is no kiosk to buy something to drink after training.

. It´s very little and because of that the school can´t do local competitions.

. There are no showers.´

As we know, they are some things to add and improve for beyond activities, but, in fact, is a good place for the students of the school.

Diary Entry

25 May, 2012

Today was a unique day for me because this day I had to play which Pucara against my favourite rivals who were Lomas Athletic Club, San Albano and SIC. Although the weather was horrible because I was freezing, there was more mud than grassin the fields because it was a rainy day but, in fact, I didn´t want to miss it. All my club mates were there but not in the same team. However, I think that this day was completely fascinating.
