Mandy Au

1 I always feel nervous when I talk to people I don’t


know. My sister is my best friend. She’s outgoing and
joins a lot of activities. I usually stay at home and read
5 at the weekend. Some friends say that I’m as quiet
as a mouse. There is a boy in my class who always
says that I look like one because I’m chubby and have
round eyes.

Fiona Chu

10 2 I like shopping. I like collecting fashion magazines


too. There are dozens of them under my bed. My mum
always wants to throw them away. I’m slim and tall.
I want to be a model. I often dream about walking down
the runway wearing trendy clothes. Some friends are
15 very mean. They ask me to stop daydreaming!

Sally Hui

3 I like sport. There is a badminton court near my


home. I often play badminton there with my younger
brother after school. He’s a good player. I sometimes go
20 swimming on Saturdays. In autumn, my family always
go hiking together. We like outdoor activities. I always
have a tanned face after a hike though.
