"Im From" Poem

Social Studies

Im From

I'm from the country of the Dominican Republic with the population of (ten million eight eight thousand five hundred and ninety eight) people.

I'm from a place where people are yelling and laughing.

I'm from a country where the capital is Santo Domingo.

I'm from a body of water that it's called “ la barranca” where I went swimming.

I'm from a red, blue, and white flag.

I am from a place where there are small mountains called “Montana Redonda” a turistic place where people go and take pictures.

I'm from a village called Miches where I see a lot of motorcycles.

I'm from the country of the Dominican Republic where it is always hot, and sometimes humid.

I'm from a village where the houses are blocks or wood.

I'm from the Dominican Republic where people dress nice with sandals, skirts, T-shirts.

I'm from a culture where people love dancing bachata and merengue.

I'm from the Dominican Republic where the popular fruit is el mango and the Chinola.

I'm from Dominican Republic where the popular food is el mangu and la bandera which is rice, meat, and red beans.
