Daniel

Daniel is the most popular student in the class. His friends trust him because they know he’ll never do anything to hurt them. Even though he doesn’t get the best grades in the class, he is extremely hard-working. He has the confidence to do what he believes and doesn’t worry about what others might say. Another reason everyone respects and admires Daniel is because he’s always kind – he never loses his temper and gets impatient with people. Everyone wishes they could feel as secure about themselves as Daniel does about himself – including Jason, the class bully.

Дэниел — самый популярный ученик в классе. Его друзья доверяют ему, потому что знают: он никогда не сделает ничего, что могло бы причинить им вред. Хотя он не получает лучших оценок в классе, он чрезвычайно трудолюбив. У него хватает уверенности, чтобы поступать так, как он считает правильным, и не беспокоиться о том, что скажут другие. Все также уважают и ценят Дэниела за то, что он всегда добр: он никогда не выходит из себя и не проявляет нетерпения к людям. Все хотели бы чувствовать себя настолько же уверенно, как Дэниел, — в том числе Джейсон, школьный задира.

Jason

Jason is the biggest and strongest kid in the school. Unfortunately, he uses his size to bully and frighten the other students. Jason likes to show off and talk about how good he is. Even though he isn’t really very good at anything, he is very arrogant because he thinks he is better than everyone else. He’s often in trouble for being rude to teachers, and his favorite hobbies are teasing other students until they cry and gossiping about anyone who is not around.

Джейсон — самый крупный и сильный ученик в школе. К сожалению, он использует свои размеры, чтобы задирать и пугать других учеников. Джейсон любит хвастаться и говорить о том, какой он замечательный. Хотя на самом деле он не особенно хорош ни в чём, он очень высокомерен, потому что считает себя лучше всех остальных. Его часто наказывают за грубость по отношению к учителям, а его любимые занятия — дразнить других учеников, пока те не заплачут, и сплетничать о тех, кого нет рядом.
