The presidential election is every four years. My parents have been away for the campaign trail. They support their favorite candidate. "Are you going to vote this year?" my mom asked. "Yes, I will fill out my ballot at the booth," I said. Last election, I didn’t vote because I wasn’t old enough. This year, I must join the party and follow the political trail. "Which candidate is the most popular?" I asked. "He is very far ahead," my dad said. "Have you ever voted for a presidential candidate?" "Yes, but I haven’t filled the paper correctly yet." "Don’t worry, I will help you," my mom said. The election isn’t next week, but I am going to the booth soon. "Do you support any candidate?" my friend asked. "Yes, but she isn’t the favorite," I said. Who will win? We must wait and see.
Election Night With Mate
English
Last night, I watched the election results with my mate. "Do you understand the electoral college?" he asked. I didn't, so he tried to explain. "The president-elect isn't always the most popular candidate," he said. "Some states, like Florida, are swing states. They decide the winner." This year, the debates were very important. The well-known candidate won, but his opponent wasn't happy. "Who will be president?" I asked. "We must wait for the inauguration," my mate answered. "Did you vote?" I asked. "No, I haven't been chosen to vote this year," he said. "If I vote next year, will you watch the debates with me?" "Of course, mate!" I said.
The Future Is White
English
The election was very exciting. Our state had the first caucus, and many people visited. The White House was full of guests. "Who will be the nominee?" people asked. "Have you met the president-elect yet?" She was a lady who gave a great speech. "If I win, I will change many things," she said. But the vice president wasn't happy. "What will happen to me?" he thought. The primary vote was close. "Does our nominee have enough power?" people wondered. The president had been in office for one term. "Would you run again?" someone asked. "No, I have decided to limit my time," he said. The house was full of hope. "How much can one person do?" a voter asked. "A lot!" said another. The meeting was over, but the work wasn't. The new president-elect had to prepare. "You must work hard," people told her. "I will," she promised. The future was white with possibilities.
