All about me

My name is Zahra and I am a student at Panmure Bridge School. I was born in New Zealand and I have brownish eyes. I want to talk about my family likes and dislikes and  my friends.

My family is very important because they are part of my life. In my family there is my mum, dad, brother and my sisters I also have my brother-in-law and my niece. Whenever I feel sick my family takes care of me and thats why they are important to me.

Some of my likes are Nandos,friends, niece, family, ice cream, winter, slushies, beach and going shopping. My dislikes are summer, mosquito bites, Insects and worms because they are disgusting and summer makes me too hot. One of my important likes are my niece because she is part of my family and she makes me laugh sometimes.

My best friends are Nazella,Sajiha and Zeba. My friends are nice and when I get hurt they stand up for me. They are important to me because they play with me at school and I don’t feel lonely.
