Voting Day in My Country
In our country, people over twenty can vote. Every four years they elect a new president. Before that day, each side talks about its policy on TV and in the streets.
On voting day, most shops are closed. For many people, it is a great day. Fathers and mothers take their children with them. The children cannot vote, but they can watch and learn.
At night, everybody sits in front of the TV and waits for the numbers.
