    Hello Marc!
    I think this situation is unexplained. I don’t understand this situation in 2008.
    I’m absolutely against with the situation of child soldiers.

    Thank you for your comment, Pilar. By the way, ‘unexplained’ is probably ‘intolerable’; and you are ‘absolutely against this situation’, but now ‘against with’. But thank you again, Pilar.

    hello Marc.
    I don’t understand why the countries leave that the children fight on the war and lead guns, and why do not do nothing to avoid this situation.
    I completely agree with Pilar, and i’m agaist for this situation.

    ‘leave’ is ‘deixar’, meaning ‘abandonar’. You should have used ‘let’. ‘Lead’ should be ‘carry’, or ‘use’. Good use of the word ‘avoid’ and, of course, thank you for participating in this blog.
