Composite Character Profiles

Composite Character 1 Ananya (Female)

• She is an Indian undergraduate living alone in an apartment while studying at her home university. Although she spends busy days, she always cooks her meals, thinking about her health.

• He is an American undergraduate staying in the dormitory at his home university. While living there, he sometimes uses dining halls and sometimes cooks but rarely dines out.
• Belonging to a football team, he must follow his club’s rules for the nutrition he can take in a day. He, therefore, calculates, in advance, the nutrients he can take for a meal and think of his menu, which he does all by himself.

• She is a Chinese undergraduate living with her parents in her home country. She usually eats her parents’ handmade healthy dishes but sometimes eats out with her friends.
