Kids in Uruguay have different lifestyles depending on whether they live in the country or in the city. I interviewed a student from the rural elementary school where I work, which is in a more isolated area, and has only 11 students ages 4-12. Darlyn lives and works on a farm with his parents and grandparents.
We have a small breakfast, either fruit or coffee, or mate. For lunch I usually eat chicken, beef, pasta, or different kinds of soups or stews. Dinner is usually a bit bigger than lunch.
My house is on a farm, or estancia, where my grandparents live. We have cows, horses, sheep and chickens. My big sister and I each have our own rooms but my little brother, who's only 2 years old, sleeps with my Mom and Dad.
I have to help feed the chickens and dogs, feed the lambs their bottles, help my parents round up the cows, clean my room and help my sister with the dishes.
They are both farmers; they take care of animals.
