7. a) | Read Ben's e-mail to his parents. What does he like/dislike about Kyrgyzstan?
Dear Parents and Jerry
How are you? I hope you're well.
I am finally in Bishkek. I live with my student's family. His
name is Akyl. He's 10. His family is big. He's got a mother, a
father, a sister and a brother. He's got two grandfathers and
two grandmothers. They are all very nice and friendly.
I'm an English teacher at school. My students are very smart.
They're 9 and 10. They like English and my lessons. I tell them
about Great Britain and they ask me a lot of questions.
Bishkek is a nice city. It's not very big, but there are a lot of
trees and flowers. I like it, but it can be very hot in summer.
The food here is great, but Kyrgyz people eat a lot of bread!
You know, I dislike bread. Fruit and vegetables are especially
good in Kyrgyzstan. I like them all!
Bye for now.
Love,
Ben.​
