Fahad Al mesabi

My name is Mohammed Rashed. I would like introduce my friend Fahad. I am going to tell you some information about him. Fahad was born in Abu Dhabi. Now he lives in Khalifa A City .He has a big family, 8 brothers and 4 sisters. He was born in 1989 and he is 20 years old. He is a student in HCT in the bachelor in the finance programme. Fahad would like to be a manager in a public company. Fahad has many hobbies. One of these hobbies is speed racing. When Fahad has free time he plays on his computer. He also likes chatting with friends. On his holidays he likes to stay in Liwa.
His ambition is to be a successful businessman.

His best holiday was when he went to Malaysia last holiday with his family. He had a good time there and he like it because he spent his time on the beach.

Fahad thinks the best think in the collage is the English skills are so much better than before, for example speaking, writing, listening and reading.
The worst thing that he does not like is the strict policy on the attendance.

Now you know a little about Fahad, his home town, family and free time activities; thank you for listening.
