Guest blogger Penny writes about people living in another country.

AN INTERNATIONAL HOME
All around the world, young people live and study away from their own homes. But what’s it like living
with people from other countries? I asked Suki, a photography student. Suki’s from Vietnam, but she
lives in France at the moment. Here’s what she says about life in her international home.

I live in a flat in Paris with four other people. We’re all from different
countries, but we can all speak English really well. Our flat is very
friendly and of course it has a great international atmosphere!

Lucja is from Poland and she’s eighteen years

old. She is a student, like me. She wants to be
a dentist, but she really loves sweets! Lucja's
a very happy person – I like her a lot. Here’s a
photo of her looking happy.

Ryan is twenty-five years old and he is from

Ireland. He works in a café near our flat. He
likes shopping and he loves shopping for clothes.
Here’s a photo of him wearing his favourite
sunglasses. He thinks they are very cool!

Simona is from Brazil. She’s twenty-one years

old and she’s a nurse. She doesn’t like the
weather here – she is always cold! I think she is
unhappy because she can’t see her family back
home very often and she misses the sun. Here’s
Simona with her favourite umbrella – she takes it
everywhere she goes!

Marco is from Italy. He’s a student, too, but he

wants to be a model. He’s very handsome, isn’t
he? He’s 23 years old and he likes cars, football
and looking in the mirror!

Who do you live with? Tell us about them and where you live. Don’t forget to send us some photographs, too!
