He is a good student because he studies hardand is very diligent.He wants to become a good specialist and he is especiallyinterested in com­puters. He often helps me with my English lessons and I'm gratefulto him for that.

Now I want to tell you about his appearance. Heis rather talland strong.He has an oval face, straight nose, dark-brownhair, blue eyes and a nice smile. People find him good-looking.

Peter goes in for sports. He plays football and basket­ball well. His basketball teamis very popular at the col­lege.
