This summer I've
decided to go to
Kazakhstan on a student exchange
programme. I really hope to be a geologist
in the future, so for me Kazakhstan is a
great 1) as a lot of the industry
there is based on the extraction of natural
resources. That makes it a great place to
learn more about geology as a field of
2) , as well as make potentially
valuable contacts for the future. It's an
amazing opportunity, totally different from
anything I can do here in London, so I'm
going to make the most of it!
Last year, all of my
test results were
great; I got an A in every subject. If I keep
working hard, this year will be the same.
That should give me lots of options, but to
be honest, I'm not quite sure what

wise. So I've decided to take a(n)

different industries, in order to figure out
which path I want to pursue. I'm planning
