Audioscript

Hello there. I'm Ziad. I'm 15. I want to make new friends who are the same age as me. I'm outgoing but I also prefer to be with just one or two friends. We talk about the books we've read or old films we like. I'm very creative and I write my own poems. I'm very reliable as a friend and can keep secrets. I'm always on time if I arrange to meet someone. I'm also a good listener - I try to help if I can when friends tell me their problems. I don't get angry easily and I keep calm in difficult situations.
