Zorin is a solid beginner Distro, and should work well for the tasks you listed.
If you’ve never used linux before, personally I would recommend Linux Mint Cinnamon edition, for the main reason being it has by far the nicest, most polished appstore of any distro, which I think is an important feature for new users.
However, Zorin has a cool feature with the ability to change the style of the interface to mimic other OS’s, and the default themes look cooler than Mint’s.
Both would serve you well. ExplainingComputers on youtube does a good in depth video on both distros.
