7.1 Read the text about Tom’s fellow-students.

Meet My Fellow-Students

It’s Tuesday at 8 a. m. I’m sitting in the lobby of the University. Jan is sitting next to me. He is one of my fellow-students. Jan is Polish. He is not only very clever, but he is also a very hard worker and likes to do everything well. He has dark brown hair and good grey eyes. He is not very tall, but he is strong, swims well and is a good footballer. He is generally early for classes. He doesn’t like to be a minute late. Neither do I. We often sit here and wait for the others to come. There they are! They are coming out of the elevator. Let me introduce them to you.

The first one to come out is Lucille. Lucille is American. She is beautiful and rich. She is tall and slim, with big dark eyes and black straight hair which she wears loose. She cares about her appearance very much. No wonder, with girls, it’s instrumental, or №1, as I put it. This is what they themselves say. Lucille goes out to a dinner or a club or a movie almost every evening, and doesn’t get to bed until very late at night – or rather, early in the morning. She doesn’t do very much work.

And this is Olaf. He is a big fellow – six feet three tall. He can walk all day and he never feels tired. He is as strong as a horse. He is strong both in body and in character. His eyes are blue and his hair is yellow. He doesn’t talk much but he thinks a lot. Olaf comes from England.

Here is Pedro. He is very handsome, tall and dark and well-dressed. He is rich and clever too. He is Spanish, but he speaks English and can talk about almost everything – music, pictures, other countries, literature, politics and life.

The next one to come out is Frieda. She has blond curly hair and big grey eyes. She doesn’t talk much; she is rather quiet, kind and nice. We all like her. I think that she is pretty and so do all the other students, except Jan. He thinks that she is beautiful.

And here is the last one. This is Hob. He is generally the last one to come for classes and the first to go away. He is neither handsome nor clever. But he thinks that he is all these. He doesn’t like swimming or football. He thinks they are too much like hard work. He doesn’t like studying. He says it makes him tired. He isn’t polite and he isn’t well-dressed. He doesn’t always listen to lectures in class (he sometimes goes to sleep there). He is a good eater and a good sleeper. But he is good-hearted and loves a joke. He knows a lot of funny stories and always wants to tell them to you.
