"LEILA" BY VIOLETTE 3è3

Leïla’s life !

 Her name is Leïla, she’s 23 years old and she’s from Jersey, an island in the United Kingdom. Her birthday is January 15th. Her father is from Sudan and her mother is from England so she has mixed origins just like her 3 brothers and her sister.

  She enjoys swimming and surfing because in Jersey there are surf competitions, but she hates swimming in deep dark water because there could be sharks and it’s scary.

  Leïla can play the piano, the guitar and the flute, her goal is to become very good at jazz improvisation.

  She can speak English and a few words of Arabic.

  Her favorite film is “A Knight Tale” which is an English film, she likes reggae from the 60’s, the series “West world” and the color blue. Her favorite place is the Highlands because she went often there with her friends. She loves Vietnamese food and the “Jersey Royal” which are potatoes from Jersey.

 When she was a pupil, her favorite school subject was history.

 She took a gap year before going to university, when she was 18. She went to Vietnam, Cambodia, Fiji, Thailand, Hong Kong and she taught in Asia. To pay for the trips, she worked in a bank for 6 months.

 For the last 4 years she went to university in Edinburgh, and last summer she took the train around Europe.

 For the next 6 months she will try teaching and she wants to do politics later.
