So, what will you do?

How will you do this?

T:Let’s start. Be attentive.

What affects our Personality?

(1)In his book about the family's influence on a personality the British psychologist Tom Hughes tells that our position in the family is the strongest factor that influences our personality.

(2)On his opinion, the oldest children get maximum attention from their parents, and the result is that they're usually quite self-confident people. They make good leaders. For example, the famous Prime Minister Winston Churchill was a firstborn child. The oldest children are often ambitious. They're more likely to go to university than their brothers or sisters. They often get the top jobs, too. They are also responsible people, because they often have to look after their younger brothers or sisters. The downside of this is that sometimes this means that when they're older they worry a lot about things. They can also be quite bossy and even aggressive, especially when they don't get what they want.

(3)The middle children are usually independent and competitive. It's because they have to fight with their brothers and sisters for their parents' attention. And they're usually sociable, they like being with people, probably because they have always had other children to play with. However, on the negative side, the middle children are often jealous of their brothers and sisters and they can be moody.

(4)If a child is the youngest in the family, he or she will probably be very charming, affectionate and quite relaxed. On the other hand, the youngest children are often quite lazy. This is because they always have their older brothers and sisters to help them. And they can be quite manipulative — they use their charm to get what they want.

(5)The only children in the family don't have to share with anyone — so they're often spoilt by their parents and their grandparents. As a result, they can be quite selfish. They think of themselves more than of other people. On the positive side, the only children are usually very organised and responsible and they can be very imaginative, too.

T: Have you finished? Who wants to read the full text aloud?

T: You see, each person has different personality, so we’ll remember the traits of a person according to their position in a family. It’s time to work individually. So, look through the text and complete the chart with five personality adjectives in each column. You have 2 min.

T: What will you do? How will you do this? How long will you do this?

T: Identify your position in the family and tell your partner about the traits which are the same and which are different, which character traits  you have or don’t have?

Post – reading activities

T:Dear students, some people say that you should always be yourself, express yourself and have a faith in yourself.

T: Do you agree with this point of view? I’d like to suggest you making  group discussion. Firstly, let’s divide into 2 groups according to the stickers.

Make pairs and exchange the information.

Make groups of 4

Make groups of 8

Quotations

Beauty gets the attention, personality gets the heart.

Beauty of a person is temporary. But personality is permanent and lasts forever.
