Amna, Age 8
The City School
Karachi, Pakistan

My home is in Karachi, where the climate is mild and there are always children playing outside. My family and I speak Urdu at home, but I am also learning to speak English. If I could go to one other county, I would go to the United States and visit Disneyland! My favorite sport is cricket and I like to play it for fun with my cousins. I also enjoy playing the piano, reading books, and drawing. If someone came to stay with my family, I would serve them Biryani, which is a special spicy rice dish. When I grow up, I hope to become a teacher, a doctor, or maybe an artist. If I could change one thing about my country it would be to put a ban on smoking, as it is injurious to people's health.
