Student number 1.
I absolutely love painting and I really enjoy reading. I'm quite good at doing housework but I'm not very good at cooking. I don't really like watching TV and I'm not really interested in walking with my friends. I spend a lot of time using the Internet. I spend too much time chatting on the phone and I don't have enough time for doing my homework. I don't know anything about sport and I really hate it.

ARIES

Aries is a Cardinal Fire sign, ruled by Mars. As the first sign in the zodiac, and corresponding with the first day of spring, the Aries individual is a mover and shaker, fearlessly forging ahead or "springing forth" into new territory. The Aries personality is always a force to be reckoned with। These are curious and energetic individuals, always delving into new areas, but often quickly becoming bored and moving on, leaving unfinished projects in their wake. They don't generally have hidden agendas or ulterior motives। If they find an area in which they are interested for a long period, they can become quite accomplished, well-known, and wealthy.

GEMINI

Gemini is a Mutable Air sign, ruled by Mercury. As the third sign in the zodiac, Gemini is an energetic, charismatic, communicative, witty individual with a child-like fascination with the world and with new experiences.
The Gemini personality stands out as the zodiac sign that knows something about just about everything, making them good conversationalists and interesting acquaintances. They are inquisitive and quick to digest new information and ideas. Intelligent and logical, but with a lot of nervous energy, Gemini likes to keep busy and expand their horizons whenever opportunities arise, often multitasking between several interests. Gemini has more than one personality, which can change in a flash, and those near to them would do well to learn them both. On and off, up and down, back and forth, black and white, day and night, ying and yang - this is the essence of the Gemini personality.
