每日口說挑戰受歡迎的小孩有什麼特質 (What Makes Popular Kids Popular?)

以下是今天的口說稿！

What’s up, VoiceTubers! My name is Ingrid and you’re listening to today’s pronunciation challenge. Do you think you’re a popular person? If you think back to your school days, or if you’re still in school, were your or are you in that popular group? I’m always the weird one in the class. I’m never popular, but I would always have my own group of close friends. No matter your popularity, you might find the below eight types of people in your class! Listen and see if you can name some of your classmates in one of the groups!

The one who rarely shows up to class.
There is always that one kid that rarely shows up to class, and you rarely see this person. You know that they are in the class, even though they aren’t there.

The one who is a know-it-all.
They are the worst type of people to work in the group with because they make everyone feel bad about themselves. They also try to find ideas that teachers say, and fight them on.

The one who doesn’t talk.
There is one person who sits in the back of the classroom and doesn’t talk to anyone. You rarely know this person is in the class because they never talk.

The one who is the professor’s favorite.
There is always that one kid who you can tell is the professor's favorite. The professor even learns their name extremely fast and doesn’t know anyone else in the class’s name.

The one who makes the whole class laugh.
The one who is always making the class laugh no matter what. Even in the most awkward time, they are laughing.

The one who is always eating.
There is always that one person who brings like a four-course meal to class and sits next to you. You watch them enjoy this huge meal, even if it isn’t huge it seems huge.

The one who is always texting.
There is always that one person that is obviously not paying attention because they are on their phone.

The one who becomes one of your good friends
If you're lucky enough to meet great people in your class and they become your friend, you are beyond lucky. It’s always great to know you have people to talk about the class, and you have someone to talk to within the class.

Those are the eight types of people you can find in your class. I would argue that the popular kids are often the one who is always texting or the one who makes the whole class laugh, what do you think? Comment down below your thoughts, but before that, let’s practice today’s sentence!
