I have been learning about Costa Rica. It is a democratic republic government. That means the power is from the people, and the government is run by elected officials. The government is made up of the president, two vice presidents, and the members of the Cabinet. The president has a four year term, and is elected by the people, who have to be eighteen or older. I also learned about the education. There are public schools in every neighborhood, which you have to wear a uniform to. Kids go to elementary school for six years, and high school for five to six years. The first two years of high school are for education, the next two or three are provided for special training. Food in Costa Rica is very important. One popular breakfast food is gallo pinto. Gallo pinto is a meal with rice, black beans, sour cream eggs, and fried bananas. A popular lunch meal is casados, which is rice with beans, meat or fish, fried bananas, white cheese, and a corn tortilla. Arroz con pollo is a popular dinner meal. It is chicken and rice. It was very cool and interesting researching Costa Rica!
you did a great job presenting. Italy and costa rica have some things in common. For example both of their leaders are presidents. over all other then that we don't have much in common between our two countries. I really enjoyed listening and learning about Costa rica
ReplyDeleteGreat presentation. Costa Rica seems like a cool place. Both Costa Rica and the UK have good soccer teams. Unlike the UK though, Costa Rica makes money on pineapples and bananas while the UK makes a lot of money on cars and petroleum. Costa Rica seems like a cool place and hopefully I can go there someday.

ReplyDeleteGreat presentation! Ireland and Costa Rica are both similar and different. In both countries, music plays an important role in the arts, and both countries have democratic republic governments. They are also different in some ways. The foods in either country are very different. Also, in Ireland, dance is not as popular. In the end, I learned a lot from your presentation.
