Today we shall speak about our country, our Motherland. Kazakhstan has always been a country of rich culture and beautiful places. As you know we celebrated the Independence Day of Kazakhstan. On the 16-th of December 1991 a Declaration about the Independence of Kazakhstan was adopted. Now our country has its own flag, anthem and the state emblem. The President of the country is NursultanAbishuluNazarbaev. There are many rivers and vast reservoirs in Kazakhstan. The largest rivers of Kazakhstan are the Irtysh, Ishim, Ural, Syrdarya, Ili, Chu, Tobol, and Nura.  There are nearly 7 thousand natural lakes in the country.
