What does “You’ll never see me without a book or a pen” mean
What’s Thando’s personality and learning style
It means he nearly always has a book or pen with him, because he likes to study.
He is good-looking and clever. He studies hard and plays hard.

3>. Which profiles do you like better Why
I like the second profile better, because he paints a clearer picture of what kind of person he is. The first profile mostly contains lists.

Li Hua, 16
Zhonghua Senior High School
China
My name is Li Hua, and I’m a Grade 10 student at Zhonghua Senior High School. I’m quiet and very easy-going. I just don’t let things bother me—I always try to stay as cool as a cucumber. My favourite subject is Chinese, because I find Chinese characters fascinating, and I love to write new characters using calligraphy. In fact, I spend most of my free time practising it. When I’m not studying or practising calligraphy, I play basketball with my friends. I plan on being a writer in the future.
