teacher of English. He is still young, but he is a very clever teacher. All the pupils in the class like him very much. He helps us to understand our lessons well and to speak all the time in English in the class. I hope to join the faculty of Engineering after finishing secondary school, but I don't like to have a job in a government office.

I like to be free and have work of my own like my father and my cousin Ali. When my cousin Ali finished his studies at the university ten years ago, he started a small business.
