Villa 20

It has dirt streets, the people...

It's dangerous at night for people who do not live in that place. It's overcrowded. When it rains the streets are flooded. People usually have a grocery store in their house. The place is very noisy.

How can we solve these problems?

i live in lugano

 i live in lugano, i don't have a description for my neighborhood, BUT, if i had to, i would say it's a very comfortable place, i mean, where i live, there's no annoying noise except for my neighbor who has a garage with race cars, but that doesn't bother me, i love cars. i live in a part of the city a lot of luganenses usually call "the little houses" and a very good thing is that you have the bus stop, an ice cream shop and the newsagent's very close to your house if you live here. talking about the city in general, im gonna tell you what we have and what things make us special, we have a racetrack, a beautiful tower where you can se the whole city, a shopping mall, a comercial area, a skatepark, and the most important thing, the buildings. we call them the "monoblocks", eleven towers all over the neighborhood. and finally a really big park "parque de las victorias", not as big as central park, but very close.

what about your hood?

Villa Celina

Hi, my name is Juan Cruz. I live in villa Celina in a aparment. my hood is good and bad. In some areas is dangerus, because It has everything that a common neighborhood of the bonaerense suburbs has. It has got drugs, guns but in my zone its nice. Here just live people humble who only want to work. The streets are paved but have holes because of the bus and the trucks, but the hood is good because of the people.   

 My name is Ariel. my spot to live is completly different than Juan's zone, i live in a small house with dirt road, so in my zone every day something happens, a fight or an argument but the hood has his good things: the park, the neighbours, the numbers of grocery stores.

What could we do to improve our hood?

By Ariel and Juan Cruz

Lomas de Zamora, by Ian Barral

My Hood is small, it is located in Lomas de Zamora, south of the conurbano, most of the roads are paved and there are many businesses in the avenues. People are quite gossipy but not bad people. One problem we have in my Hood is that we don't have a bank.

What do you suggest?

By Ian Barral

Sarmiento Hood

We live in Sarmiento hood, its location is in the south east of Celina city a district of La Matanza (GBA). 

Our neighborhood is poor and big, most of its roads are paved.

The houses are big because there are many people who live for rent and also there are many shops like green grocer, butcher's, grocery store and bookshop. 

But it isn't so nice because in there are robberies and there isn't security. 

In your neighborhood is there any similar problem?

How would you solve it?

By Heydi Aguirre and Rosi Alejo

Lugano, Villa 20

Where I live they are repairing the streets since they are very worn out. One of the problems would be that there is a lot of insecurity and to fix that, I think more police should be put in.

What do you think? Do you have any suggestion?

Gerson Alvarez

Barrio Sarmiento

 Hello, my name is Noelia and I live in Sarmiento, my street is not silent at all since I live near an avenue. There is a gym, a newsagent's and it is all paved depending on where you live because there are streets that are not paved and at night it is usually a bit dangerous. 

By Noelia

My neighborhood is Sarmiento, I live in a tall and big house, in a dirt road. There are newsagents' and many houses for rent. There isn't much security, and sometimes there is a lack the water in summer.

What do you think we can do with these problems?

By Laura León

Villa Lugano

In my hood Lugano there are many houses piled up, busy streets, there is a lot of noise and many neighbors

We have banks, parks and supermarkets close to our houses

We are humble people, there are many cars parked in the streets .

We have many apartaments and buildings, grocery store, shopping centers and many streets with clothing and food stalls.

By Mariana Ávalos

Hello, my name is Jenny, I live in Villa 20 Lugano, in my street everything is quiet (the streets are paved) but it is usually very dangerous, the good thing about where I live is that I have a shopping center nearby. Near my house I usually see many buildings.

What can we do about the problem of security?

Jenny

Villa Albertina, Lomas de Zamora

 Well, my hood all in all is pretty.

The houses are humble, there is a park where you can run and do exercise.

The problem is the criminality. There aren't cameras, so the people are accustomed to it.

What would you do in this case?

By Nazareno Fiorentino y Gino Sarubbi

Pope Francis Hood

Our hood is called Barrio Papa Francisco (Pope Francis neighbourhood). Here there are a lot of apartment buildings and shops. People who live here are always listening to music so loud. This hood is not safe because we are under the control of plastered muggers. We are uncomfortable here, how can we solve this?

By Tomas, Joel and Weimar

Belgrano, my previous home

 

Actually I'm not living in Belgrano but I can describe a little bit of what it is to live there.

It's a kingdom of peace, the people there greet you when you pass by their side in the morning.

It's a pretty clean place and there aren't many dogs living by his own in the streets.

At the night the hood lamps are always lighting the streets and the police is always taking care to the people.

The only problem for me is some people, mostly older women's steal cats as if they were theirs.

Have you any idea what can we do with this respect?

Sofia San Martín, 5°B

Lugano and the Madman's Park

We're from lugano, we have a park and we call it "la plaza del loco" (madman's park) because a junkie used to go there and he was fun.

The problem here is that people romanticize drugs and sometimes make fun of people who have addiction problems.

What would you do to solve it?😟😟

By Nicole Silva, Jere Barboza and Matías

Our hoods

Hi y'all! I'm Martín, the teacher of English of 5th A and B. I live very far away from ET UBA, but I love the school. I'm also into music, literature and comic, so we'll get to work with that in the future.

These last weeks we've been talking about our identity. Today, we're going to write about our neighbourhoods. You will see lots of posts describing the hoods that surround the school. You will also read about problems in these places. 

In the comments, give your opinion and write a suggestion saying what we could do to solve it.

Greetings dear teachers and students!!

 My name is Verónica Pena. I am one of the teachers at Escuela Técnica Lugano,  (ET.UBA Lugano UBA) which is part of the University of Buenos Aires. 

The school building is located in the south of the city of Buenos Aires. At first we started working on the premises of the CBC (Ciclo Basico Comun) UBA, located in the same area. That went on for two years. In 2018 we moved to the school building, which is new and large enough to hold as many as 500 students. That is the number of students we have at present.

Ours is a young school. We started working in 2015 with just two first year classes. Since last year we have been working in full sway! 

ETEC is a technical school and the students can choose between two specializations: ICT's and Mechatronics.

In our school, the students attend English lessons according to their level of competence in the language. The groups are reduced in number to facilitate learning and student-teacher interaction. The school has got 6 teachers of English and we work as a team.

We are glad to get to know you and exchange messages with you to share opinions and experiences. This is a great opportunity to enhance our English.

We look forward to hearing from you soon.

Keep in touch!!

Hello everyone, my name is Clara Catani and I am the teacher at IPS Rosario. I have been a teacher at IPS for six years and I love working here!

Our school is really big and crowded since there are more than one thousand students. We'll share pics of the school in this project.

Santiago's Introduction

 Hi everyone. I'm Santiago Polverini and I'm 16 years old.

I'm studying informatics in the Politecnico. I like programming (when I know something) and learning about PC's. Out of school I like playing videogames and physical activities but I don't do the second so much. I prefer staying at my home enjoying a rain and a cold weather.

 

One advantage of this school is that it has a high level of education but it can also be a disadvantage because we spend so much of our time studying or directly at school.

 

Greetings to all, goodbye.

Franco's Introduction

 Hi, I'm Franco Lembo and I'm 16 years old.

To begin with, this year I started the four year where I'm doing the technical degree in “Professional and Personal Informatics”,  here they teach us about programming in C, the parts of the PC, and how the computers connect between them.

One advantage of the high school is that it offers a vey big variety of subjects, and one disadvantage is that we don't have much free time because we are always doing homework o studying for a test.

In my free time, I like to play videogames in my PC, every kind of games from MOBA to graphic histories and I like watching series and movies. My favorite actor is Ryan Reynolds, however in this last week, I didn't have much of time to play because all the exams I have to do. Also this year for first time I particiting at the OIA (Olimpiada Argentina de Informatica).

Pedro's Introduction

 Hello! My name is Pedro Zelada. I´m 16 years old and I go to Instituto Politecnico Superior school, I´m from San Lorenzo than it´s a city around Rosario so it´s a long travel go to school. But the fact is thatb I love the school, it is so big and they came a lot of students so it´s normal know new persons and make new friends, the disadvantage it´s than we spend a lot of time inside the school but very comfortable the relation with our teachers, they are so well in their job so you can enjoy all the classes

Agustin's Introduction

 Hello, my name is Agustín Jaffre and I'm 16 years old.I'm in fourth year of I.T at the Instituto Politécnico Superior. I enjoy playing videogames at night with my friends, practicing different sports such as basketball or tennis. My favourite hobbies are study programation, reading comics and watch memes in my social networks, like Instagram and Twitter. In my school we have a lot of advantages and disadvantages. To start of with, we have a huge timetable with some classical subjects like “Maths” and “Languaje” and some special classes such as “Programation” and “Basic Instalation of Software”, so we don't have too much free time than expected, we have to spend many hours to study for our exams. However, a good advantage of Politecnico is that the school is very big and a lot of students go there, so we usually have a lot of friends to spend time with.Another benefit of it is that the theachers are very cool and nice so we have fun with them besides they are very dedicated. The best thing of all, is that in our free time, we can go outside to have lunch in restaurants and fast food places or go for a walk around the center of Rosario.It's very interesting and beautiful. Anways, for some of the students like me, the school is really far from my house.

Manuel's Introduction

 

My name is Manuel Noviski, I'm 17 years old and I'm studying at Instituto Politecnico Superior in 4^th year of IC. I like playing the guitar and the piano, playing football and videogames with my friends and programming codes. The school is amazing if you like technichal stuff, maybe is kind of difficult but I love going every morning because the classes are very interesting.

Advantagees of the school: I learned a lot of things, I made a lot of friends, the classes are very interesting and the place is beautiful.

Disadvantagees of the school: I don't have much free time and the tests are stressfull.

Iara's introduction

one advntage of the institute are a lot of variety of especialities and their subjets and a negative aspect maybe be a lot of time do i have to spend in the stablishment.

Santiago's Introduction

 Hi! My name is Santiago Gimenez, I'm 16 years old. I live in the city of Rosario. I'm in fourth year of IT at the Instituto Politécnico Superior. My favourites hobbies are training and listening to music. Usually, I'm very occupied with homework and studying for exams, but, in my free time, I enjoy playing videogames, spending time with my friends and seeing memes on social media. My favourite music genders are rock, pop and indie rock and my favourite artists are “The drums”, “Cage the elephant” and “The cure”. One advantage of going to the Politécnico is that I study what I really like, but a big disadvantage is that I live far from there so I have to wake up early every morning to get there in time.

Alan's Introduction

 Hi, my name is Alan Rodriguez, I'm sixteen years old and I'm in fourth year of Chemistry. I chose Chemistry as a degree because I like to make reactions and undertstand their applications in industry. I like videogames such as Minecraft, Bioshock 1 and Metro's saga. The first one is the only that I play regularly in free servers. I also like to ride my bike in Puerto Norte or La Florida and stay there for a bit. I also play basketball and other sports.

I think that one of the best advantages of my school is that it has a very fruitful environment of debate in which the point of view of every person is respected.

And one of the disadvantages for me is that the access to Wi-Fi is so limitated that I have to go to the first floor to connect  to the Internet.

Lucas's Introduction

 Hi, I'm Lucas Lamberti, I'm 16 years old and I'm in fourth year of IT. I like listening to music, playing videogames and programming. I really like videogames like Minecraft, Deltarune,TBOI and, in general, adventure, RPG and action games, I play them almost every day but sometimes I might have a test so I would rather study for it that doing anything else.

I also study English outside the school, so I have a little bit of knowledge about it.

I personally think that one advantages of my school is that it has a high level of education because to enter this school, you need to pass an exam that it is to prove you have a good level of knowledge and, in there, you are always learning a lot of things.

And I think one disadvantages is that this school is very old, so a lot of the building furniture is very antiquated to this times.   

Lionel's Introduction

 Hello , my name is Lionel Vilaró. I am 17 years old. I am in fourth year of Chemistry and I really like going to the gym and I often play Metroidvania and Roguelite videogames such as Hollow Knight , Hades , The Binding of Isaac and Blasphemous but I don't have much free time because I need to study for chemistry exams. (SOS) 

 A primary advantage of IPS is the good variety of subjects and  the really dedicated teachers but a disadvantage is the state of the building.

 We hate our school , the IPS is a real prison for free souls that just want to enjoy their life ;').

Ignacio's Introduction

 Hello, my name is Ignacio Crispo. I am 16 years old. I am in fourth year of IT and I enjoy playing computer games with my friends and watching videos from YouTube in my free time . I sometimes play Minecraft and another games like Phasmophobia, UCH or Don't Starve with my friends but I don't have much free time because I need study for exams. 

We have a lot of diferents subjcets in my school and my favorite is programming. IPS is a huge school with a high level of education and this is a positive aspect about the school. A disadvantage of IPS is that it has a demanding timetable with short breaks.

Kiara's Introduction.

Hello, I'm Kiara Mantinian, I'm sixteen years old. Currently I'm in the Chemestry orientation, in which we go to the labs to do different experiments. I had some hobbies before, like horse riding and participated in some olympics, but after the pandemy I had to quit them.   A benefit of the institute is that you have a good viariety of possible orientations to choose. A drawback is that it consumes a lot of time.

Juan's Introduction.

 Hi my name is Juan Sopo, I'm sixteen and I study at Instituto Politecnico Superior since 2018.  I enjoy playing rugby, going to the gym, and  recently I begin learning  python, a programming language. I usually take some English classes out of the school once a week. The school is very demanding so, if you study here, you don't have a lot of free time. So, you must  choose your free time activities very carefully in order to have enough time to do everything that you want.  So, it is true that we spend a lot of time at the school, but at the same time, it gives you  another point of  view about some many things that it opens your mind.
