3.  Can you tell me something about your schools.  I am 12 years old and would like to know more what school would be like for a 12 year old in your country.

Answer
Hi Donna!

Well, Argentina is a very big country,Ive been living in Buenos Aires, Argentinas capital, for some years maybe i can tell you a little about that specific city if you like.

The capital is very cosmopolitan, you can find turist from other countries which come to visit places like Recoleta, El Tigre, o Caminito in La Boca. Maybe you can tell me which kind of things do u like doing and i tell you about them.
In Buenos Aires, the climate is a bit wet, in summer is really nice very sunny and sometimes the temperatures are over 38C but then if you like the beach there are places like Mar del Plata, or Miramar or Villa Gesel, they arent too far from buenos aires, you can go and return the same weekend if you like.
About Schools in my country, you have private or public schools, the private schools which some of them are a bit expensive, but you stay all day and you can learn english  and maybe other language, computer classes, some sports like swimming and football, volleyball, or basketball, and the there are public schools whitch are state schools some are very good endeed and then you dont pay as much as in the private schools.
I hope id helped you with all your questions, but of course if you would like to ask me something else about the same or a different subject i will try to answer as soon as possible, if you are interesting in finding more information about Argentina, maybe you can check this links www.argentina.com , www.buenosaires.com

all the best!
