I spoke with Nika, a student in the 5th class in Germany (that's about equivalent to 5th grade). She recently turned 11 (most of the students in class 5 are 10 or 11 years old). Nika is in one of my English classes and is a star student because she spends lots of time practicing English outside of school with her sister and watching English videos on YouTube. She is really fun-spirited and was eager to talk about her life.
For breakfast, Nika usually eats Brötchen (bread rolls) with sausage. For lunch, she enjoys pasta and rice or whatever is around. She is not a picky eater at all. She said she doesn't usually eat dinner, but sometimes has something small.
The walls in Nika's apartment are mostly white and green because her mother really likes those colors. There are lots of apartment plants by the windows, giving it a very lively feel. The apartment has two bedrooms: one for Nika and her sister and one for her parents. There is also a living room, a kitchen, and a bathroom with a combined shower and bath.
