Maria is from Italy. She talked about how her family celebrates Christmas. They have a big dinner together and give gifts.

"We come from different cultures but our love for family is the same," Maria said.

"We used to argue a lot when we were little. Now we understand that we are different and that's okay. I help Lin Xin with PE, and he helps me with English," Lin Tao said.

Wu Qian and Wu Ting are twin sisters. Wu Qian is outgoing and loves to sing. Wu Ting is more serious and loves science. They often do projects together. Wu Qian makes their
