Hello, my name is Ahmed, and I am almost nineteen years old. I am from Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates. I have a big family. I have five older brothers and one younger sister. My father is a businessman, so he's quite busy, and my mother stays at home to take care of the family. Of course, she's also very busy! I'm busy, too. I'm a college student at Abu Dhabi Men's College and I study English twenty hours a week because in the future I want to be an international businessman, just like my father. I'm single, not married. My best friend is Abdulla. He studies English with me, and in our free time we like to go camping in the desert with our families. We also like to go to the Marina Shopping Mall on weekends and have coffee and talk with our friends. My favorite TV show? Well, I don't have a lot of time to watch TV, but I love to watch sports, especially football (in American English, people call it 'soccer'). Could you tell me a little about yourself? What's your name? What country and what city are you from, and how many people are there in your family? I really would like to know!
