Images of Argentina

The aim of this report is to present what is popular in Argentina. I interviewed all my family: parents, grandparents, uncles, ants and cousins, by telephone, by e-mail and in person. The questions concerned food, music, jobs/studies and places to visit.

Food: More than half prefer barbecue than fast food. About three-quarters of my family usually eat pizza on Sunday. The majority of them say their favourite drink is Coca-Cola.

Music:
All of my little cousins listen to national music. Over three-quarters of the adults say they prefer international music. The best singer ever is Freddie Mercury for less than half of them.

Jobs/studies: 60% of the adults work on full-time jobs. 1 in 15 is unemployed and 2 are independent-workers. About two-thirds of the children in my family usually have good marks at school.

Places to visit: More than half the people I interviewed say the most beautiful place in Argentina is the Perito Moreno glacier, which is in the south of the country. About a quarter went to Bariloche last holiday, and say it’s a beautiful place too.

The most surprising aspect of the report is that is a tradition in most of the families to eat pizza on Sunday. I was also surprised to find out that it is common for the adults to listen international music.

Very interesting findings, Melanie.
Please check some grammar, spelling and capitalization mistakes (ants, prefer... than, listen..., etc.).
