Hello, students and teachers of Sinnott Magnet School! 
We are very happy to participate in this international project for the first time. It's very nice to know about so many groups of students in the world at the same time. We would like to answer to all of you, that´s why we are sending these 100mails.

We live in one of the towns near Buenos Aires, the capital city of Argentina. We are 21km away from the River Plate, the widest river in the world. Tourists say the BA is the city that never sleeps because discos, restaurants, pubs close at 6 o 7am every day. When we have private parties with friends and relatives, that is almost every Saturday, we always conclude them having breakfast altogether waiting for the sun to rise. Argentinians are generally very friendly people, maybe because we have Latin blood.

There are many inmigrants living in our country, especially after the second world war when many Italian and Spanish people arrived. There are also Japanese, Korean, Jewish, Polish, Ukranian communities which live in their own towns in the centre of the city. Our doors have always been open to all communities.

We are a group of 75 students that study English at Eco Center Institute, a private English Teaching school . Our ages range from 4 to 45 years old, that's why we would like to receive emails from all ages, adults too. We are divided in groups according to our ages and level of English. Some of us need the language to get a better job and some others because the level of English taught at schools is very low, except at bilingual schools which are very expensive to afford.

Our school year begins in March and finishes the first week of December and we have two school shifts: the morning one starts at 7.30-8.00am and finishes at 12-12.30am; the afternoon shift starts at 1pm to 5-6pm depending on the school.

Well, we hope to receive a lot more emails and we promise to send many answers too. Warm greetings from this southern city of the world famous for its delicious meat and wines!!!
