DOTCOM program workshop.

I know that I have good communication, leadership and presentation skills. In my school when somebody have a problem, being a class monitor I always try to be a person who helps to solve it. I’m also an active organizer of all school arrangements. And I like it. I love to be at the centre of attention. I fill that I can discuss and convince people. So, participating in this program and representing Azerbaijan, together with giving information about problems and achievements of my country I can also be an active and interesting participant of discussion.

My home community.

Nowadays the main problem for Azerbaijan is Karabakh’s war problem. We have a lot of refugees from there. I do like them to be able to return home in the nearest future.
Education and health care is very important for each of us and for each country. We have a lot of new constructions built in the city, but not so often we can see new stadiums, swimming pools and libraries.
If I’d be a president I’d spend the main part of the country’s budget to develop education system, public sport and health care in order to increase intellectual and health level of population.

Media in my life.

My favorite book was “Harry Potter”. I’ve read all the 7 books 3 years ago. I like fantastic and detective books. My favorite writer is Chexov. His works are very interesting and have fundamental meaning.
I play video games very rare. My favorite film is “If only…” I like music very much. I like to listen Rihanna, Beyonce. I don't like rock, maybe I don’t understand it so well.
My mother orders a lot of books for me and my brother. They are:”National geography”, “Erudite”,”100 people which changed course of the history”, “The golden globe” and so on. Have you heard about these magazines before? They are very interesting and useful. I read them regularly.
We can’t live without media. For example, Agatha Mary Clarissa Christie- famous detective story writer hated the media but without it she couldn’t became as famous as she was. With helping of media we can become a lot of information and so, it's very important for everyone.

Hi!

Hello Dr.Rob and other participants of the program! As you may remember, I’m Nargiz. You can call me Nara. :) I’m from Baku (Azerbaijan). I’m 15 and I study in the 10th form. I’m very glad to participate in this program, because it’s very interesting and useful.

My school.

My school is named after Academic Zarifa Aliyeva. We make a lot of projects there. For example, recently “The 20th January” is the tragedy day for Azerbaijan. And we made a lot of projects and videos about this day.
I’m a class monitor. And so I can say that I’m a leader of my class and I like it. I always want to be in the center of attention.

My wish.

I want to be an economist/businesswoman. A lot of money…oh…it’s my dream.

My hobby.

So…My hobby. I like embroidering (I have a lot of pictures), collecting old coins or coins from different countries. I enjoy traveling too. Last year I was in Saint-Petersburg. It was very interesting and nice there. I’ll attach some of photos and videos here.

The role of the sport in my life.

Going in for sport is very important for me. I became the 4th grade in chess, I was the 1st in my school in tennis, and then I went in for badminton. Plus I’m swimming for 10 years but not regularly. Because I have a lot of lessons at school and a lot of home/work at home. So that’s why I can’t find time to go in for sport regularly. It’s so sad. :(

My family.

My family isn’t big: father, mother and brother. I’ll not talk about them a lot because it’ll be very long. I just can say that my father is IT Manager, my mother- administrator, brother-pupil (the 9th form).And each of them want to see me in the list of that 10 children from Azerbaijan. I hope that it’ll realize.

My friends.

I have a lot of friends. Do you know why? Because I’ve changed 4 schools. We meet and phone to each other very often. So they play the main part in my life. And I hope that I can find new friends in this project.

Languages which I know.

I like to learn languages. Now I can say that I know 4 languages: Azeri, English, Russian and German. And I think that my knowledge for of these languages is good enough, because I can communicate with people using all of them. For German language I have been participating special courses out of school for 3 years. All others I study at school.
