After collecting the 10 sheets, you must summarize the information. Remember not to mention specific names, but rather use words like "most", "some", or "few". Here is an example of an oral or written presentation based on imaginary responses.
A Report on My Friends' Profiles
I collected peer profile sheets from ten of my classmates and found some very interesting common traits among us. I observed that most of my friends enjoy playing outdoor sports like cricket and football, while a few mentioned that they enjoy reading storybooks in their free time. Many appreciate good handwriting and a helpful nature.
When it comes to fears, it appears that nobody is afraid of examinations, as no one included them in the things they fear! However, some mentioned being afraid of the dark or street dogs. Interestingly, almost all of them hate waking up early on holidays, but they all agree that they have to do their daily homework.
A common good habit shared by most is brushing their teeth twice a day. A few confessed that leaving their room untidy is their bad habit. Finally, many listed famous sportspersons or scientists as their favourite personalities because of their hard work and dedication. The most interesting part of this activity was discovering that we share so many similar likes and dislikes despite being different individuals.
