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.

Transcript .

Author: I love watching movies. At the cinema, on TV or on my computer. I'm a big movie fan and love all the news of my favourite movie stars.

I like all kinds of movies - Hollywood blockbusters, black and white movies from the 50s, independent movies... They're all good.

Recently I've got into watching foreign movies. I like the films that come out of Bollywood - they're very different. The first film I saw at the movie theatre was Star Wars. I was amazed at the special effects.

Nowadays, so many movies have such good computer graphics that we forget how special the effects are.

One of my favourite ways of relaxing is to rent the latest DVD and sit on the sofa with a big bag of potato chips. The sound has to be up to the max and the lights have to be off.
