Life in the city"I
live in Algiers, where I start school at 8 o’clock in the morning every day. My
favourite subjects are maths and sciences. I like swimming and playing tennis, and I
support a soccer team called CRB. My other hobby is drawing. I like coming home after
school, when I can relax and watch TV." Adila, aged 17
"My school is very nice, with
a lot of trees in the courtyard and good teachers. I like maths and English, and when I
come home from school I like listening to dance music and practising sports – my
favourite is volleyball, and I play in a volleyball team. I support Mouloudia, a football
team from Algiers. I like embroidering, making cakes with my mum, swimming and playing
computer games." Lydia, aged 13
"I attend a big lycee (school)
which has hundreds of students. I like meeting up with friends after school and talking
about what everyone has been doing during the day. I like playing Trivial Pursuit,
Scrabble and Monopoly (board games), and I’m a Mouloudia FC fan. I like going to the
cinema and the beach on Fridays (our weekend) and listening to rap and dance music. My
favourite foods are fish, soups, fruit, and yoghurts." Mehdi, aged 16
