Carolina Hi, I’m Carolina and I’m 21years old. I live in Berlin, but I was born in the south of Italy. We moved here from Italy when I was 14 because of my father’s work. I’m half German, half Italian. I started working in the family business a few years ago — we have a jeweller’s shop. I work in the shop every afternoon except Sundays, but it’s a bit boring. The city is OK but I never have time to enjoy it — everything is so hectic. I often miss Italy. Rashid My name’s Rashid. I’m 24 and I live in London. I’m Indian, but I was born here in the UK. My parents came here from Bombay (we call it Mumbai now) at the end of the 1960s. London’s a great place to be for me because I study architecture and there are lots of interesting buildings around. Every day I see something new. I don’t want to live anywhere else. Linda My name’s Linda. I’m 25 and live in a small town outside Vancouver. My mother is Spanish and my father comes from Lagos in Nigeria. We speak English, French and Spanish at home. I work as a teacher in the local school. It’s a great job but very tiring because I get up very early every morning. Before, I worked as a secretary — I didn’t like it at all! I really like the town I live in, although it’s very cold in winter. Cities like Vancouver are just too big for me.
