Hobbies in Kazakhstan

Hi Emma,

Thanks for your letter! It was fun to hear about typical hobbies in England. Music and sports are also popular in Kazakhstan.

There are many different types of music in Kazakhstan, and traditional folk music is very popular. The Kazakh national musical instrument is the dombra. It's a string instrument, like a small guitar. The famous traveler, Marco Polo, noted that travelling warriors played the dombra and sang songs during military campaigns. Nowadays, young people enjoy dombra parties in the streets and parks.

I love folk music, and I'm good at singing. I want to become an akyn when I grow up. I attend a special club to practice. Akyns are brilliant poets and singers; they are very smart and funny. Famous akyns participate in contests called aitys. In the past, akyns traveled to different villages to perform, but nowadays you can watch aitys on TV.

Sport is also very popular in Kazakhstan, and the country is becoming famous for its successes in the Olympics. I really like watching different sports on TV, but I also started doing judo this year. If I practice hard, one day I will win a medal!
