9. Hi Estefania! I was surprised to learn that so many
animals are losing their homes because people cut
down trees. Does that happen where you live?
Hi Alli! I live in the city so it’s not a problem here, but I
have cousins in the South who live near the forest. Im
going to visit them this summer so I’ll ask them!

10. I didn’t know that there are so many poor people in
America also. I always thought that everyone in the
USA is rich.
Yes we poverty in America as well. Here in Chicago
we have some areas that are poor and others that
are rich. In Ethiopia it seems the problem is worse.

11. Hi Camille, what is French food really like where you
live? Does it live up to the reputation?
Hi Brooke. Yes I would say that French food is as good
as the reputation! Of course we also have fast food, but
in Paris especially we have great restaurants.
