Hassan

I live with my family and we have a very popular Turkish restaurant in our area which makes me popular in the community.

At school I love playing football with Shay and my friends, we play at playtime and lunchtime. I know I’m a bit competitive and I get upset if I’m not winning, but I can’t help it, I just don’t like losing.

I don’t speak, read or write good English even though I was born in London, England. At home my first language is Turkish. I don’t like going to school as I am finding it difficult to learn. My teacher told me not to worry and she is trying to help me with my English. My twin sister Bejna is really clever, she’s the best reader in our class and she tries to help me as well but I would rather just play football.
