Hello. My name is Taya. I am 14 years old. I'm in 8th grade.

I enjoy playing
the piano and singing. I also have a big black dog. His name is Jet. I like to
walk with him in the evening along the river. During my 14 years, I learned a
little English, and also a little German. I think I'm glad that I came to Germany
because I can practice my languages and learn a lot of new things, but I may be
glad that I came here, but what is happening in my home country is not very cool.
I live with my grandmother and mother. My mother taught me English from the age of
4, and I am very grateful to her for that. I really like to study economics and
German, because in the future I'm going to stay here and start my own business. I
want to find friends of the Germans and talk to them, it's really a great
experience. From the beginning, I wanted to go to the architect, but I was bad
with geometry and algebra, so I decided to abandon this thought. I would like to
go to work and help my mother. I think in the future I want to go to some kind of
office work under the guidance of a big uncle, and then create my own business. I
don't know what to write so I'll write about what I like to do. I like doing
projects. I don't really like to play computer games, it's kind of boring. I love
eating Pasta. I want to go to the mountains, I really like the mountain
atmosphere. I'll write something about my dog. He is very fond of playing with
me. But sometimes he plays too hard and bites me. He likes toys with squeakers,
he constantly gnaws them. He loves to swim and run with other dogs. And he eats
everything. He is very friendly and almost never barks at others. After a walk,
go to bed and sleep all day. Thank you for your attention.
