Read this paragraph about Naomi and answer the question.

I’m Naomi. I have never been to another country. I’ve never seen an airplane. I’ve never seen the sea. But I know them through pictures that the teacher showed me. I live in a village near a forest, in the mountains. I’m 13. I’ve lived here since I was born.

There are many wild animals in the forest but I’m not afraid of them. During a winter there is snow and the trees in the forest get white. It’s very cold and it is hard to stay outside. In the summer, the days are not hot and I can go fishing.
