THEME 1 SCHOOL LIFE

9 A WRITING
Read the descriptive paragraph about Linda and match the colors to what they are about in the
paragraph. One has been done for you.

A True Friend: My Classmate Linda.

Linda is one of my classmates. She is 17, the same age as me. She’s got long, straight,
brown hair and blue eyes. She is of medium height and fit because she plays volleyball.
Linda doesn’t like being on her own, she lives and spends a lot of time with her family;
her parents and her brother Alex. Her parents are retired teachers. Her father is
around fifty-five and her mother is in her early fifties. Her brother is a university
student. They have a lot in common, so they get on very well. She takes time to get
better all the time, so she’s very busy. She goes to volleyball trainings, takes Spanish
courses and joins charity activities. Her motto is ‘life for people, people for life’. She
usually goes to bed at around midnight and gets up early. She thinks sleeping too much
is a waste of time, and we must improve our skills of time management. She is a great,
invaluable friend with her nice personality and habits. I’m lucky to have her as a friend.
