¡Hola! Mi nombre es Rosita y vivo en Cartagena, Colombia. Tengo 16 años y estoy en la escuela superior. Todas las escuelas superiores en Colombia tienen cuatro rutas diferentes, desde un año a cinco años de estudios: programas técnicos, tecnológicos, docentes y profesionales. Los programas docentes y tecnológicos son los más largos. Yo estudio en el programa técnico. Quiero ser jardinera. Cuando terminas los dos años del programa técnico, puedes comenzar a trabajar inmediatamente sin ir a la universidad. En las carreras profesionales necesitas estudiar más que en las carreras técnicas y necesitas ir a la universidad. En los Estados Unidos hay carreras técnicas, pero no en todas las escuelas. En Estados Unidos, después de terminar los estudios técnicos o generales en cuatro años, puedes ir a la universidad para los estudios profesionales. Based on the text and what you learned in the lesson, what is a similarity between high schools in Colombia versus the United States? Both countries offer technical programs in all high schools. Both countries offer general programs in all high schools. Both countries require university studies for technical programs. Both countries require at least two complete years in school.

Both countries require at least two complete years in school.

"Hello! My name is Rosita and I live in Cartagena, Colombia.

I am 16 years old and I am in a great school.

All the great schools in Colombia have four different programs, from one year to five years of studies: technical programs, technological programs, teaching programs, and professional. The teaching programs and technological programs are the biggest.

I study in the technical program. I want to be a gardener.

When you finish the two years of the technical program, you can immediately start to work without going to the university.

In the professional careers, you need to study more than you do in the technical careers and you need to go to the university.

In the United States there are technical careers, but not in all the schools. In the United States, after finishing the technical schools or the general schools in four years, you can go to the university for professional studies."

According to that, only Colombia offers technical programs in all high schools. Only the United States offers general programs in all high schools.

They do not require university studies for technical programs.

But both countries require at least two complete years in school.

Hope this helps!
