The country I learned about is Belize. Belize is a small country located in Central America. Belize is a great country with a good government.
The type of government Belize uses is a democracy. A democracy is a government where the citizens have a part by selecting leaders. The way Belize's government works is great because Britain helps run it and Britain has a great government. In a Democracy there is a Prime Minister and Head of state. The Prime Minister is Dean Barrow and the Head of State is Queen Elizabeth. Belize has a very stable government.
Popular sports in Belize are soccer, basketball, volleyball, softball and cricket. Belizeans play theses sports to entertain themselves. They also enjoy these sports. Personally, I enjoy some of the sports too. The reason these sports are so popular is because they are fun to play.
Belize has pretty good weather. The temperature is warm to hot year long which I love and others do too. Due to the heat, Belize is very humid. Most people don’t like the sticky and wet feeling of humidity. Personally I can’t stand it.
A negative about Belize is that it is a poor country. Around 42% of the people are below the poverty line and around 13% of the people are jobless. Although Belize has Some nice sights like the 2nd biggest coral reef in the world, it has a lot of bad places due to the lack of money. Overall Belize is a very nice Country. There are lots of good things about Belize event though it is only 8,867 sq. miles. Belize is a Fantastic Country.
Josh,
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree with you more… I hate when it is hot and humid outside. I do not think Belize is a place that I would choose to live, but it sure does sound nice and tropical!
I like the information you gave about Belize. I am curious though, if the there is such a high poverty level then what is the education system like?
Thanks for sharing Josh!
I loved your presentation and I thought that was a big island but i found out that it is only 8867 sq. miles
ReplyDeleteI thought your county was very interesting. Belize and my country, Madagascar are very similar because they are both very poor. A lot of people in my country have no money or no job. I think the geography of your country was vary cool and I really want to visit there.
ReplyDeleteI loved the paragraphs in your blog and you had your Presentation down.

ReplyDeleteJosh you did amazing on your presentation and you had no problem doing it. It looked like you knew what you needed to know.
ReplyDeleteYou did a really great job. Also you did not have to look at your note cards once. Both of our countries have prime ministers.
ReplyDeleteYou did a really well job and barley had to look at your note cards. I can also tell that you practiced. You knew what you needed to know instead of looking at the board or your card all the time.

ReplyDeleteExcellent pictures and great ties to the other "British" countries. I think you showcased your country well and were able to draw comparisons throughout the board and presentations. Interesting to me was the immense amount of poverty throughout the island.
ReplyDeleteIt is so cool that your country, as well as many others, have such a similar government to our own. My country, Egypt, is the same way.
ReplyDeleteNice job. My country Israel also has a democracy. You were comfortable and knew your information.
ReplyDeleteNice job. I really enjoyed your presentation. Your country is different from mine because the most popular sport is ice hockey.
ReplyDeleteyours was very good i liked it
