Global Test, Semester I
Class: 2 Bac Letters

Milo, my classmate, is really special. He has an incredible popularity in the school. This is everyone's
friend. It sounds better. Why? He is a bright boy! He learns in a creative way and achieves his goals. His
willingness to learn new subjects is very high. He is too appreciated by his teachers because he is serious,
attentive and active, which allows him to get the best marks. Extrovert, sociable, honest, reliable and
having a sense of humor, are some characteristics that characterize this person, and that make him more
popular. Although he is the smallest in our group, he is a gifted handball player. Physically, he is round-
faced; with narrow eyes and black hair. For his outer appearance: he wears jeans, t-shirt, and trainers. His
parents are very proud of him.
