Venezuela leader in poultry production




Venezuela is a country that has many political problems. Particularly Venezuela has political problems with The United States but it isn’t important for me now.




The main reason for I know and visit Venezuela is that this country has the main avian farming population of Latino America. The avian farming population in Venezuela is 95,512,000 annual chickens. We are talking about 7,959,333 monthly chickens.



The avian farming population are distributed in six countries; these are Aragua, Carabobo, Zulia, Miranda, Lara and Cojedes. The aviculture is very developed in that country. Development is in the area of breeding systems, bio security, technology and animal health.






My job is related with the area of poultry production. This is the main reason for I know Venezuela. Also, I think that I have a lot to learn and Venezuela is a good place for that.

Cuba











The reason why a have choose this country is because I need to know more about the cloture and how this country works because I want to go there. I think is interesting place to go in vacations to se a different culture. Next I am going to write something that I had read about Cuba.
Cuba is also the westernmost just west of Hispaniola (Haiti and the Dominican Republic), and 90 mi (145 km) south of Key West, Fla., at the entrance to the Gulf of Mexico. The island is mountainous in the southeast and south-central area (Sierra Maestra). It is flat or rolling elsewhere. Cuba also includes numerous smaller islands, islets, and cays.

Cuba it is a beautiful country they have really hard government it is Communist state is currently the only officially recognized political party in Cuba. It operates on a Marxist Leninist model. The first secretary of the communist party is Fidel Castro.
This country have established limited diplomatic whit U.S. In the 80s Cuba fomented Communist revolutions around the world, especially in Angola, where thousands of Cuban troops were sent.
In June 2000, Castro won a publicity bonanza when the Clinton administration sent Elian Gonzalez, a young Cuban boy found clinging to an inner tube near Miami, back to Cuba. The U.S. Cuban community had demanded that the boy remain in Miami rather than be returned to his father in Cuba. By many accounts, the influential Cuban Americans lost public sympathy by pitting political ideology against familial bonds.
After read some information if I have the opportunity I want to go to Cuba.

The name was changed in the Qing Dynaty. It has a rolled gable roof covered with yellow glazed tiles, in the Qing Dynasty, it was the place where the emperor's concubines were selected.

Ecuador


Ecuador is a multicultural country located in the northeast part of South America. This country has had many governmental problems through the years that have made people live a deep economic crisis.
This country keeps a lot of traditions alive; specially the religious ones, such as going to church every Sunday or eating typical food according to the festivities.
The economy in Ecuador is supported by the exportation of natural resources such as the petroleum, banana, shrimp, coffee, etc. In the early 90`s the emigration of people to other countries trying to find a better life style increased dramatically and nowadays remittances are the second larger income for our country.
Ecuador is a diverse country that has four regions: landscapes, coast, rainforest and the insular region or Galapagos Islands which are a visited by thousand of tourists every year.
I chose to write about Ecuador because I think is a country full of magic places and great people that want to improve themselves everyday! : )







Italy is a country in Europe. I choose this country because I like its food and soccer league. I have never be in that country, but my brother was there for two weeks and he brought some picture of Venecia, Milan, and Roma.
Milan is one of my favorite teams of soccer, for this reason I want to know that city and to be able to see a game of soccer of them.
Another razon that I like to be tere is for history about the Romans and their empire, The old house, churches, streets and all the culture that surrounds this country.
The last razon is italian have a fashion style in almost everything they do, such as clothes and furniture. The Italians impose the fashion of these products for their creativity, originality and modernism in their products.

In conclusion Italy is a place that everyone has to know for its history and its present.
