I will describe a village that is close to my hometown. It's not far; it takes about 10 minutes to get there, and the village name is Qubarq, which can be translated into English as Sand River. My dad was born there and spent all his childhood and teenage years in that village. That village is famous and beloved by me because of its white areas. The last time I went there was during the summer. There was a lot of interesting things there, but what I remember most about the village is a long time ago when I was a little girl. I used to spend several summers there during my holidays, and at that time, I was amazed by the sounds I heard there. I also enjoyed spending time with my relatives, as well as with my aunts and uncles, because we have many relatives in that village. The most intriguing thing there is at night when we sleep under the stars; we could hear frogs singing in the nearest lake. There were a lot of frogs in that lake, but nowadays, there aren't many left due to some ecological problems, perhaps. So that's the village, and additionally, I can say that I often dream about that village at night. Those were great times when I was a little girl.
