MY COUSIN

In this my world, I'm going to talk about one of the most important persons for me. She's name is Aya, she's my cousin and she has got sixteen years old. She is taller than me, has a big brown eyes and a lovely smile. She is very funny, vain, chatty, friendly, generous and a very hyperactive person, but also has a very strong character and is very nervous. She has got two siblings, Ayoub and Arig, they have nine and twelve years, so she is the biggest.

When I travel to Morocco, we spent all our time together. We went to the beach, we went for a walk, we went out to eat with our family, we play cards, we meet with her friends and always stays to sleep in my house or I at her house. She tells me everything that happens and has happened to her throughout the year. We get along so well because we are so similar and that is why sometimes we also fought.

She's my favorite cousin because we are literally like sisters. Besides that my mother is her father's sister, my father is also her mother's brother. I mean that two siblings are married with two other siblings. So we are cousins of the two parts and we have the same surnames but backwards. Unfortunately she lives in Morocco and I can't see her very often so I miss her so much but we always talk by phone. I look forward to the next summer to visit her.

DELIRIUM

The last summer I read a book called Delirium. It's a dystopian saga written by Lauren Oliver of three books. The story is set in Portland and is about a future society where love is considered a disease. The  scientists created a cure that is applied at 18 years and they're free to live their lives safely and without love.

After the bombings, the government built a electric fences to separate the city from the wilds.The wild land was a unregulated territory and was many people that live in it and  that weren't agree with the government. These people were called ''invalids'' or ''uncureds'' and they created the resistance to fight for love.

The first book is focused on a girl, Lena. She lives with her aunt and cousins because the government kills her parents because they were invalids. A few days for her cure she falling in love with a invalid boy, Alex. And they decide escape to the wild land together. In the finally moment, when they're jumping the electric fence, the government was advised of their elopement and kills Alex.

THE SCARIEST MOVIE FOR ME

JU-ON: THE CURSE
The film is told in anachronistic order through six segments and in each segment a person dies. Takeo Saeki murdered his wife, Kayako, after discovering from her journal that she had held a deep crush with her college friend. He also killed his son, Toshio Saeki, and the family cat, before deserting his house. At the crime's house was created a curse. Whoever enters the house or even those associating themselves with someone who has entered the house will be affected by the curse.
The best moment for me was when a girl called Tamura was in her school waiting her friend and suddenly a mobile rings. The call number was 4444444, Tamura answered the call and a meow of a cat rang. Then Toshio appears and kill the girl.

 The horror elements that I see in this film are:

• Fear and terror
• Mystery
• Haste
• Anger
• Cats
• Supernatural events

She didn't like lies and bad people.

She was a housewife.

She was generous, naive and hard-working.

MY BIGGEST DREAM

My biggest dream is to travel to every country of the world with my friends and know new cultures, people and beautiful landscapes that exist on our planet. 

But it's a little bit difficult because there are a lot of countries in the world and I need a lot of   money and time. 

One of the solutions is visit five or six countries every year during my holidays or visit only the countries that most interested me. And also work hard to save money.

To make this dream possible have to be patient, worker, optimistic and be willing.
