B
In Lincoln High School, four students—Emily, Alex, Liam and Sophia are talking and laughing happily. They are good friends with completely different characters.
Almost every friend group has a parent. Emily is the one in her friend group. When they hang out with Emily, they don't need to worry about anything. She always has plans and makes sure things go well. And if someone wants to find a person to talk to, Emily is always there to listen to him or her. If someone needs advice, Emily is the first person he or she goes to.
Alex, however, is a quiet but talented boy. He doesn't talk much and he usually spends most of his free time reading in the school library, so he does well in exams. When his friends have some difficult problems in study, Alex is often ready to help them out. Students are all surprised at his intellect and great problem-solving skills.
Liam is outgoing. He joins all kinds of clubs at school. At the same time, Liam likes to take part in outdoor activities. He often organizes school trips, cycling races and other interesting games. All the students would like to play with him. This makes Liam a popular star at school.
Sophia is friendly and kind-hearted. She does different volunteer work after school. On Monday and Friday, Sophia goes to the children's hospital. On Wednesday, she visits dogs and cats in an animal shelter(收容所), bringing them food. At the weekend, she helps clean up the neighbourhood and look after the old people.
