Zhor  
A funny girl who likes to laugh all the time,
I’m a crazy gal who’s smiling and laughing
Because she loves to be, all the time, a funny girl.
A funny girl who likes to tell jokes
Wants to have a successful life
Always a crazy girl, doing something crazy and funny and making people laugh
Also, a fearless girl who is not afraid of anything- just exams.
Funny


Ola 
I’m a faithful girl who would never cheat people she knows
Or talk about them behind their backs.

Molham 
A proud person who is always confident

I always want to know more and to improve myself.

My House


My House 
by Raya Ghanim
Maghar High School B 

I want to tell you about my house. I think that my house is very beautiful and is so comfortable that I don’t imagine myself living in any other house. I really like it.
My house is very big; it’s a three story house and has 10 rooms.
My house is painted in a variety of colours.
I always love to re-arrange the furniture to change the mood because I believe that how the furniture is arranged has an effect on our mood.
We have two big yards that are full of flowers and trees. It’s a beautiful view. When I see the flowers, I feel calm and the stress that I had been feeling suddenly vanishes. It’s like a magic power.
