Do you know anything about Peru? The United States is nothing compared to Peru. The Uniteds States has many things that are different than Peru: school, culture and language.

Schools are different in Peru. The schools in Peru are smaller than here. Peru doesn’t have too many strict rules in school also and the government. In Peru, you have one classroom for each grade, so you don’t have to walk around the school. I feel very happy to be here because we have more rules, and we  have more freedom.

In Peru we have many delicious foods. We use many kinds of implements for our foods like vegetables, fruits and many others. I think that our food has more taste because they put more seasoning on foods. Our food is not too greasy because we don’t like too many fried foods. I miss my country’s food because it tastes much better.

Peru speaks one of the easiest languages: Spanish. My country speak two languages : Spanish and Quechua. Not many people speak Quechua but is part of my country. I think that is a easy language because when you talk and write the words sound and look the same. Many countries speak Spanish, especially countries in  North and South America.

There are many differences between Peru and United States. Some  special things about my country are the food and  the people because they are lovely and friendly. I miss my country because my family and friends are there, but I love being and making new friends.
