The most beautiful place in my neighborhood is Cauca's sugar mill because there are many trees and ball grounds. If you were to spend the night at my house, I would take you there and to the Sugar Cane museum. It's rural and hot where I live. There are few people, but lots of vegetation. Sugar cane is the main crop. In summer, I fly kites, and swim in the pool and river. I also play football for fun. I walk to school every day. For lunch, I eat spaghetti. My favorite subject in school is math, but I also like to read. The last book I read was 'Hansel and Gretel.' I enjoy tales and humorous books. I speak Spanish, but I'm learning English. My favorite celebration is my birthday. We eat special foods and cakes. Plus, there's lots of dancing, and I play with my friends.
