1. I live in the city of Alma-ata. Our weather is much warmer than in Nur-Sultan. People here are very polite. And they are always ready to help people, not all of course. Our house is large and old.

DESCRIBING WHERE YOU LIVE

I Live in Kayseri, which is an important city in Central Ana tolia in Turkey. It has a population of over 1,000,000 people. It's near the famous Cappadocia area, so there are a Lot of tourists in the summer.

Kayseri is one of the richest cities in Turkey because it has a Lot of industry. It is a university town, and there are also many historic buildings, for example Kayseri Castle. Hunat Hatun Mosque, and the Grand Bazaar around Cumhuriyet Square, wit h its famous statue of Ataturk. But Kayseri also has modern resident ial areas fullof Luxury blocks of flats, shopping centres, and stylish restaurants.

The weather in Kayseri is typical of the Middle Anatolia Region. W inters are cold and snowy - great for skiing – and summers are hot and dry. Itsometimes rains in the spring and autumn.

Kayseri is famous for its mountains. Mount Erciyes is the symbol of t he city and it has a well-known ski resort, and on Mount Ali there are national and international paragliding championships. It's also famous for its food and has many Local specialities Like postirmo, which is dried beef with spices. and manti, which is a kind of Turkish ravioli.They're delicious!

What I Like best about Kayseri is that we are so close to nature. W hen I'm tired of city Life, I can easily get out and enjoy the mountains, rivers waterfalls, and thermal spas, which are only a short distance away.
