My peer group

My peer group is formed for eight girls. I met them when I was thirteen, because we were in the same class.  Last five years we have shared a lot of moments. Generally we like to do the same things, but at the same time we have very different ways of thinking. This year we have started our careers, so we cant talk or meet every day but on weekends we try to spend our free time together! We enjoy going to the cinema, to the disco…
We know ourselves for a lot of time and when someone has a problem we know it immediately. If one of us has a deviant behavior we try to talk with her, and try to understand why has she done it, but at first we feel so angry. For example one of my friends is very unpunctual, she always arrives late and we hate this attitude.
If we have to take a decision, everyone has an opinion and we decide it together. Some girls have more initiative than others to propose plans, for example to buy a present for a birthday or collect the money. But personally I think that initiative doesn’t make you more important than others in our group.
Despite our differences I feel lucky to know them!

An strange visit!

Hello! My name is XJ5, I´m 631 years old and I come from a small planet called Pluton. In Pluton we have a very organised life, every institutions has estrict rules and in many years there hasnt been any change. But now we want to make better our education. I`m the education ministre  and I have decided  to visit others planets to take new ideas. So that is the reason of my trip.
For 3 months I have been visiting the earth, and I´m really surprised! Your education idea is so different.  Boys and girls go to buildings called “schools”, and there they spend 6 hours a day sitted in “desks”.  Students are separated depends on their age, but classes are mixed.  Teachers explain concepts giving notes and using a blackboard… but the strangest thing i saw was that every day students has some minutes called “break”, they go to playground, and they play with others boys and girls.
Tomorrow im going to travel to venus, there i will take last notes about education. When i arrive in pluton i will talk with teachers and headmasters to evaluate our method.
 This trip has been a great experience!
