Once a week, I lead an English club for this awesome group of high school students. They are 15 and 16 years old and live and attend school here in the Bayanzurkh district of Ulaanbaatar. I surveyed all of them to get some general information about their lives. It was a great way for them to practice their English! Here's what they had to say in their very own words.
For breakfast, we may have eggs, bread, Mongolian milk tea or black tea, rice or oatmeal, water or cereal. For lunch, we have fast food like hoshuur, buuz, fried dumplings, tuna sandwiches or ham sandwiches. For dinner, we have a variety of things, like vegetable soup, tsuivan, buuz, fried dumplings or fried chicken, water, and chocolate, strawberry or vanilla ice cream!
Out of ten students in the class today, nine of us live in apartments. The apartments are in tall buildings. Some of us live on the fifth floor, or the ninth floor or the twelfth. Most of our apartments have two or three bedrooms, a living room, kitchen and bathroom.
