Hey, I’m Zoe. I’m from France. You know my country has got one of the highest
statues of the world; it’s the Eiffel Tower. The Eiffel Tower is over 300 meters
high. My father is a teacher at a high school, and my mother is an artist. As you
can guess easily, we have got different types of brushes and paint of different
colours at our house. There are a lot of paintings of her, and everybody in the
family loves her works. I am also interested in painting, so I am here to study art.

I’m Finn. I’m Dutch. I come from Amsterdam. Canals are an important part of
Amsterdam’s cityscape, just like Venice’s. Especially the canals in Amsterdam’s
neighbourhood, Jordaan, are very popular among tourists because there are
colourful houses along the canals. They are worth seeing. I am here in Türkiye
to study medicine. My mother is a nurse, and my father is a farmer.

I’m Sassa. I am from Norway. There are always a lot of tourists in my country
to see the amazing view of the Northern Lights. My parents have got the same
jobs. They are both doctors. I am a student in the psychology field.

Hi! I’m Wei from China. I come from Beijing. It is the capital city of China. You
know our country is mostly well-known for the Great Wall of China, but in the
heart of Beijing, there is another tourist attraction that you should definitely see.
It is the Forbidden City & the Imperial Palace. There are a lot of places that are
worth seeing in this complex, such as large halls, temples, residences, etc. I am
here to study engineering. My father is an architect, and my mother is a florist.
