In Pakistan, the summers are quite hot and the winters are cold with heavy monsoon rains. I live in a family of four, including myself. The area where I live is heavily populated. I speak Urdu and English. There are 43 students in my class. Reading is one of my hobbies. The last book I read was 'Beauty and the Beast.' I play badminton, and I also play the organ. Christmas is my favorite holiday. We put up a Christmas tree, exchange gifts, have dinners, and give to charity. I like to visit Jungle Kingdom because it has lots of joy rides and different types of swings. Jasmine Garden is also beautiful. It has tall, shady trees and plenty of flowers. One really cool fact about my country is that it's rich in traditions and cultural heritage.
