Class master's Comments:
Mary is a clever girl with good manners. She is always ready to help others and therefore gets along very well with her classmates.
Having a special interest in Chinese, she speaks it pretty well. Mary is also good at maths and does a lot of exercises every day. She enjoys doing experiments in chemistry labs, but sometimes she needs to be more careful. In all the subjects, physics is the most favorite one to her and she is one of the best in this subject. She always tries her best to make better progress and things better.
All the teachers like her very much.
