Dear American family, At first I want to express my warm greetings to you all. I am Rifah Ibnat. I live with my mom and dad in a city of Bangladesh. My mother is a teacher and my father is a businessman. As my parents are working, I love to spend quality times with them in the weekends. In the weekends, we often go out for outings and also we go out for dinners sometimes. Occasionally, we also plan a small family picnic on nice sunny day. I also enjoy playing several board games with my mom and dad. I enjoy playing badminton with my father and I also enjoy learning a bit of cooking from my mother. In the weekdays, after a whole busy day we'd love to have a nice conversation and share how our day went while having our dinner together. I have some responsibilities at home too. I have a small garden in my balcony and I have the responsibility to water the plants regularly. I have a responsibility of keeping my room clean and also helping my mom and dad if they need any kind of help. I also have the responsibility to help my mom and cooking and prepare the evening tea for my father when he comes back from work. I have interest in several extracurricular activities. I have interest in singing, dancing, poem recitation and debating etc. I am also a member of girls Guild association.

We invite each other to our houses on special occasions and festivals we love celebrating different festivals together, as our country is a state of vibrant cultures and festivities. The city I live in is known as the cleanest and greenest city of our country. This is a city of peace, lights and joy. The people live in the city are very much fun loving and peaceful.
