We have got a lot of different pupils in our class. Here are some of them:
Sally is a clever girl because she always gets good marks and she also plays
the guitar very well. The boys think Sandra is even nice and she is the
most beautiful girl, too. But the girls don’t like her because they think she
is arrogant and plays volleyballbadly. Everybody likes Pat because he
is friendly and good at playing football. And he also plays the saxophone
very beautifully. The most interesting pupil is Cindy. She is tall, good
looking and all the boys fall in love with her easily. She is very clever and
she doesn't talk as boring as a lot of our other girl.
