Story: “My New Friend Fatima”

Last week, I met my new classmate Fatima. She is very kind and friendly. Fatima is medium height and has curly black hair. Her eyes are brown and she always wears glasses. She has a warm smile that makes everyone feel comfortable.
On her first day, she helped me find my classroom. We became friends right away. Now, we sit together and share our lunch. I really like her because she is not only pretty but also helpful and polite.
