Name Ozgur Karalar

Age 17

City Istanbul

I live in Istanbul, the biggest city in Turkey. It's an amazing city that extends through Asia and Europe. There are 10 million people living here, so traffic jams are a problem.

At school, I study Mathematics, chemistry, biology, physics and geometry. I really enjoy going to school. I study at the oldest school in Turkey, it was founded in 1485.

During my free time I like hanging out with my friends. We like visiting cultural and historical places, watching movies and walking by the sea.

I like horror and comedy movies and all kinds of music. I also like travelling and reading.

My native language is Turkish and I speak a little English.

I think the people in my country are warm and candid. The teenagers are keen on fashion. My favourite clothes are comfortable ones.

The most important festival in Turkey is on May 19. On this day, we celebrate a famous leader from history called Ataturk. We celebrate in stadiums and schools by singing folk songs and dancing.
