1.9 Writing an online personal profile
You are new in town and want to meet people to make friends to hang out with, so you decide to sign up on www.findafriend.com, a website devoted to matching people according to their personality and other interests. Create your online profile (100-120 words) providing a precise description of your personality, your interests and the type of person you would like to be friends with.
Once all the profiles have been submitted, your teacher will take them to the face-to-face class and you will try to find the perfect match for each of the participants. Of course, you can create a fictitious character if you want.
