POL&IS 2007 jetzt bisschen auch auf Deutsch

Was sollten wir genau machen? Wir waren die echte Politiker Mussten alles ganz genau planen, damit unseres Land im Ordnung wird. - Ökonomie – das war sehr wichtig für ganzes Land! - Waffen abbauen – Frieden im Welt - über unseres Land reden: über die Neuigkeiten im Land sprechen - politisches Programm vorstellen: was möchten wir ändern was soll besser sein… - unsere Situation musste im Landkarte anzeichnen sein – ab und zu war es bisschen kompliziert und man musste wirklich gut in der Welt - Diplomatie sein

…Arbeit Money, money, money …leider nicht alle haben $

… Essen … Haben vieeel gegessen…

…möglich zu viel…

Die beste Fotos Spaß muss sein!!!
