Phase 1: Model
My Self
My name is Fatima, and I am seventeen years old. I live in Khalifa City in Abu Dhabi, and I am
from the UAE.
I come from a big family. My father is retired, and my mother is a housewife. I have two
brothers and three sisters. I am the second child. My older brother, Abdulla, is a policeman. He
is married, and he has three children. Also my younger brother Ali is a policeman, but he isnt
married yet. My other two sisters, Salwa and Noura, are still students at school.
I love my family so much. We always have dinner together and chat about the busy day that we
had. At the weekend, we go out to eat lunch in a nice restaurant, or we go to visit our cousins in
Alain.

I study English in level 1 in Foundations at Khalifa Womens College. I want to improve my

English, so I can take the IElTS. After I score band 5.0 in IELTS, I will study business. In the future,
I will open my own company.
I like reading, watching movies and shopping. Sometimes, I like going out with my friends to a
mall and shop. Moreover, I am good at writing and drawing. I often enjoy writing poetry and
stories in my free time. (217 words)
