It’s nice to meet you

Poem

Solomon Grundy,

Born on a Monday,

Christened on Tuesday,

Married on Wednesday,

Took ill on Thursday,

Worse on Friday,

Died on Saturday,

Buried on Sunday.

This is the end

Of Solomon Grundy.

Aigul

My name is Aigul. I am 18. My surname or last name is Shakirova. I was born on the 2^nd of October in Almaty. This is the most beautiful city in Kazakhstan. Now I am the first year student at KazGASA.

There are 5 people in my family. My father’s name is Marat. He is an engineer by education and businessman by profession. My mother’s name is Zarina. She is a housewife. She has much work about the house because I have a younger sister. My sister’s name is Asem. She is 5 years old. She goes to the kinder garden. Our family is very friendly, we have many friends. But I have only one close friend. Her name is Marina. She is very pretty and nice girl. Now we are students and don’t see each other every day. Also I am very interested in learning English.

Poem

Twinkle, twinkle, little star
How I wonder what you are!
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
When the blazing sun is gone,
When he nothing shines upon,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.
Then the traveler in the dark,
Thanks you for your tiny spark.
He could not see which way to go
If you did not twinkle so.
