I live in an apartment.
It's not that big, but there's enough room for me.

On a normal day, I get up early.
First I eat breakfast and drink coffee.
Then I get ready and go out.
If I have work or school, I go there.

One person who is important to me is my mother.
She has always supported me and helped me.
She is kind and caring.
If I have problems, I can always talk to her.
She gives me good advice and cares about me.
I am very grateful to her.
What do you do to take care of the environment?
I try to take care of the environment every day.
I throw rubbish in the correct bin and sort plastic and paper.
I also try to use less electricity and water.
If I can, I walk or take the bus instead of the car.
I take the shopping bag with me when I shop, so I use less plastic.
What do you think all parents should teach their children?
I believe that all parents should teach their children to be kind and respect others.
It is important that children learn good values,
such as being honest and helpful.
Parents should also teach children to take responsibility,
for example cleaning up after themselves and doing homework.
It is also important to teach them to be polite and thank you for help.
What can children help with at home? From what age?
Children can help at home from an early age.
Young children can clean up their toys and help set the table.
Slightly older children can wash dishes, throw away rubbish and clean their room.
When they get older, they can also cook simple food and wash clothes.
It is important that children learn to help out at home.
What can adults learn from children?
Adults can learn a lot from children.
Children are curious and ask many questions.
They see the world in a simple and honest way.
Adults can also learn to be more patient and play more.
Children show us how to enjoy small things in everyday life.
What kind of food do you serve when you have visitors?
When I have visitors, I always make something good.
In my culture, it is important to serve meat or chicken to guests.
It shows respect and hospitality.
If there is a big visit or a special occasion,
I make a traditional dish with meat, rice or bread.
If the visit is more informal, such as close friends or family,
I can cook something simpler such as pasta or vegetables.
The most important thing for me is that the guests feel welcome and comfortable.
What do you think of Norwegian food?
I think Norwegian food is good, but it is a little different from the food from my home country.
I like fish, potatoes and meatballs.
Some dishes taste a bit mild to me, because I'm used to more spices.
But I like to try new things.
I also think Norwegian food is healthy and easy to prepare.
Do you think it is important to eat healthy food?
Yes, I think it is important to eat healthy food.
Healthy food gives us energy and makes us strong.
I try to eat a lot of vegetables,
fruit and proteins such as meat or fish.
I also try to drink enough water and not eat too much sugar.
If you eat healthy food, you feel better and have more energy in everyday life.
What do you like to eat when it's cold and hot outside?
For me, it is never very hot in Norway.
But when it's warm days, I like to be outside.
We go to the beach or on a trip.
Then we eat something simple, for example sausages or other light food.
When it's cold, I like hot food like soup or stew.
It makes me warm and full.
What can you do to make new friends?
To make new friends you have to talk to people.
I try to be nice and open.
I go to a language café and meet new people there.
It is also a good idea to join activities, such as hiking groups or training.
If you talk to colleagues or neighbors, you can also make new friends.
The most important thing is to be friendly and not be afraid to start a conversation.
Is it difficult to meet new people in Norway?
Yes, it is a bit difficult to make new friends in Norway.
Many Norwegians are nice, but they are also a bit reserved.
They prefer to talk to people they already know.
It is easier to get to know each other if you have something in common.
For example, if you work together or train together.
It is also easier to make friends from school, work or from apps on the internet.
Can you tell us about a normal school day at a Norwegian course or at another school?
We start at school at a quarter past 8.
First we have lessons.
Sometimes we read texts, and sometimes we practice speaking Norwegian.
We have lunch from 11:30 to 12.
After the break we continue with teaching.
We finish at 15:00.
When the school day is done, I go home and do homework or watch videos on YouTube to learn more.
What do you do during breaks when you are at school?
During the breaks I relax.
I eat food and drink coffee or tea.
Sometimes I talk to friends and classmates.
If the weather is nice, we go for a short walk outside.
Sometimes I use my mobile phone to check the news or send messages.
The break is good for resting, before we continue the teaching.
Can you tell us about your class?
My class is nice.
We are from different countries.
Some are from Ukraine, and some are from Syria.
There are both men and women in the class, but most are women.
Some have lived in Norway for a long time, and some have recently arrived.
We learn Norwegian together.
The teacher is kind and explains well.

On the Norwegian course, I like to speak Norwegian.
It helps me get better.

It is a good way to learn Norwegian.
Do you like to work alone or with others when you are on a Norwegian course?
I like to work together with others.
Then we can speak Norwegian and help each other.
It is easier to learn when we practice together.
But when I'm writing a text or working on grammar, I like to work alone.
Then I can think more and work at my own pace.
What types of tasks do you like to work on the most?
I like working on oral tasks the most.
It helps me to speak Norwegian better.

What can children decide for themselves?
Children can decide some things themselves, but not everything.
They can choose what sport they want to play and what they want to eat from what their parents make.
But, for example, they cannot decide to eat ice cream instead of dinner.
They must also wear a jacket when it is cold.
The parents decide because they know what is best.
Children can choose their friends, while parents have to make sure they are good friends.
