Hi! My name’s Laura. I’m 14 years old. I live in a big city in Kazakhstan Pavlodar. I think life in a

big city is fantastic. I like going to the theatre or cinema and visiting museums. I love pop music

and there are usually pop concerts in the city. We go to the concerts with my friends. One thing

I don’t like about the city is the traffic. There are always lots of cars and buses in Pavlodar and

they make a lot of noise. My best friend Azamat lives in a small village near Pavlodar. Azamat

thinks life in the countryside is very nice. There’s no traffic. People can work outdoors. It is calm,

silent and peaceful in the countryside. There’s more oxygen in the air because there are a lot of

trees around. You can see wonderful flowers everywhere. There is a beautiful lake and a

wonderful forest near his village. He usually goes rowing in the lake. We like walking in the

forest or swimming in the lake​

1. Laura likes living in the city.
2. Azamat is a student.
3. Laura and Azamat do a lot of things together.
4. They always go to an indoor swimming pool.
5. She thinks it is better to live in a city than in the countryside.

When my younger brother, Ibrahim, was a toddler, he used to call me dad (instead of Eyad) and we used to laugh about it. But as we grew up, 7 years apart, this joke started to become a reality. Ibrahim copied me in every possible way, and has an unshakable faith in me. For the longest time I considered him my best friend. I took care of him, taught him, and confided in him. I care about him so much that I don’t want to disappoint him. I know he is watching my every move, so I am watching my every move. I know he is copying every word I say, so I am careful with what I say. If I ignore my work, he ignores his and if I cut corners, he follows suit. I want to be proud of him so I need to be proud of me.
Last summer, I asked my father if I could help around the office. He said he has “a project” for me. I had to scan some 1000 old charts into the new electronic system.
