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.

My favourite domestic animal is a Kitten. Its name is Mila

It was afternoon and the streets were empty as I was going back home after school 5 week ago. Suddenly I heard some noise under the nearest tree. I came up to the tree and saw a small kitten! He was clean and so pretty that I couldn't help smiling. Of couгse, I took this little miracle with me.

Now my kitten is very plump and friendly . Its head isn’t big. Its neck is short. Its paws are small. Its eyes are black and clever. Its ears are small.

My kitten likes to eat especially milk and bread. Most of all Mila likes to sleep and play. It's very funny and playfull. We play every evening. I like my Mila very much. I think kitten are very careful and clever.
