3 My Life is Like a Wave By Khadija Al-Janabi Life is something you want to do. Sometimes, life lets you do things you don t want to do. Life sometimes gives you happy moments, sometimes bad moments. We like to go places that people don t want to go to. We love some people, but they hate us. We can t go back because the past is the past. Life takes you anywhere that it likes, but we can t make life go anywhere. Sometimes, when you study hard, you can get one hundred. If we trust GOD, life will be good. Life is good to live with GOD.

4 LIFE IS LIKE AIR BY OMAR SANCHEZ LIFE IS LIKE THE AIR THAT GOES AND COMES TO THE SAME PLACE. LIFE IS LIKE A TREE WHOSE LEAVES ARE GETTING OLD. THESE ARE THE YEARS OF LIFE. LIFE IS LIKE A SPONGE; WE ABSORB BAD THINGS, AND THE THING IS TO ABSORB GOOD THINGS.

5 BY ABO JIMATA Nobody knows they are gone. The day goes fast. That s why we don t know where we all go. The reason I say life is like a river is the days and the years go by fast. When we come to school, we learn more things about life So we can compare it with something. In life, there are two temporary things: They are being happy and being sad. Sometimes, when we are happy, we are set free.

6 Life is Like a Long Train By Aqsa Malik Life is like a long train of trees. Life is a toy to play with in different ways. Life is like the Earth. One moment I am here, Next moment I am there. Life is like a long river And we have to cross it. Life is like a wind. Life is very simple. Like a toy, life is a long way to go on your way.

7 Life is Crazy By Angie Bonilla Life is like a roller coaster Because sometimes it goes up And at other times it goes down, Or I am really happy, but for part of my life I am sad because you need to go to Another country and learn another language. You miss your family and your friends. But I know this is for a better future for you and a big opportunity in your life. You do not need to look back. Never change for anybody because it's only your life. But you have to study hard to achieve what you set out to do, and never let anyone stop you. Life is not easy. It s like a battlefield, and you never know what will happen. Sometimes, it's good to learn from mistakes. But sometimes, life is so hard to move on and that is because it has many obstacles. If you fall many times, you get up more strengthened.

8 LIFE IS LIKE A WIND BY ATINAF JIMATA LIFE IS LIKE A WIND IT MOVES DAY TO DAY, NIGHT TO NIGHT. IT S EASY TO MOVE FROM PLACE TO PLACE. BUT IT S HARD WHEN YOU MISS YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY. SO LIFE IS LIKE A WIND. IT CHANGES US; YOU CHANGE YOUR LIFE. SO LIFE IS LIKE A WIND. IT S SO BAD WHEN FRIENDS BECOME STRANGERS; IT S SO GOOD WHEN STRANGERS BECOME FRIENDS. SO LIFE IS LIKE A WIND.

9 My Life is Equal to a Mountain Peak By Armando Ventura Life is equal to a mountain peak. You get scared to face the life That is equal to a mountain peak. When you go up, you get scared, But when you go down, you relax. That is life. When you are in school and take notes For a test, you are nervous. But when you have good notes, You are relaxed, equal to a mountain peak.

10 LIFE IS LIKE A BUSY MAN By Mohammad Sufyaan I like my life. Life is like a busy man. Man was doing hard work. Some men go to the office and it s too busy. They just learn something new.

11 LIFE LIKE EARTH AND TRAIN By Bai Aimihoue My life is like the Earth. It always turns. I love my life. My life is like a train too. It always goes. Today, I am small. Tomorrow, I'm going to be bigger than today. So my life is like the Earth and the train. I really love my life. It is my road.

12 LIFE IS LIKE SEASONS OF THE YEAR By KOKET JIMATA In life, when everybody comes to the world, There are some common things that happen: Happiness and sadness. It comes and it passes like seasons of the year. Happiness and sadness come to everybody's life. So life is like seasons of the year; it comes and it will go too. Seasons of the year rotate by. Happiness and sadness come to us too. So life is like seasons of the year.

13 Life is Like a Busy Bus BY YASH KANTHARIA Life is like a busy bus. It just runs and runs. It just goes faster and faster. It stops everywhere. It runs on the road.
