Let's start heating up with this article by Kala, a teenager from Kochi in India.

Do you want to know what's happening in her life?

Life in India

I live in Kochi in India. It's always hot here and it rains heavily. The daytime temperature is over 30ºC, and at night the temperature doesn't go lower than 20ºC. The monsoon rains begin in June. When rain floods the streets, we don't go to school. The boys and girls in my family don't study together. I go to a girls' school and my brother goes to a boys' school. School isn't easy, but I love dancing and I play a lot of hockey. In fact, I play hockey as well as my brother, but he dances less beatifully than I do! What does my brother do more successfully than me? He's a great cricket player! What's cricket? It's the favourite sport of all the men in our family.
