9. C. Read the text and match the people with their blood type according to the information in the text.

type says a lot about their
personality. They even think that
certain blood types get along
better with other types. So, do you
know your blood type? Read and
check if your blood type matches
your personality.

when things go wrong. You can be very shy, and sensitive, but you are
also honest and creative. Many artists are type A.

love meeting new people. You are quite creative,
but you do not always finish what you start. You are
popular with everyone you meet and you love to be the
center of attention.
V TYPE: B You always finish the things you start. You are very independent,
and like doing things your own way. You are a positive person and try to have a
good sense of humor, even in a bad situation.

sometimes you are too responsible, and can be bossy! You are also helpful and very
kind.

Laura: I think I’m a really happy person. At least, that’s what my friends say! I like talking to people wherever I
so because I just love meeting new people. I like going out with my friends and I love telling jokes. □

-:nute I’m really happy and talkative, the next minute I’m shy and quiet. Someday I think I want to have my
:v,n business because I like being in charge. n
Greg: I get very upset when things don’t work out the way I want. I love coming up with new ideas, and making
