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 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?

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
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?

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
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?

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.

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?

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
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?

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?

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?

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?😟😟

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.
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.
