Discover Yourself!
1………Have you ever thought what makes a personality? A personality is someone who has a very strong character and is different from other people because he/she has character traits that make him/her interesting and enjoyable to be with. This is the one who has discovered the road to himself/herself and turned all challenges into the right steps in life. We all are just common people. But everybody of us can succeed in his/her life. We can do our best to become personalities. Our life is ruled by three basic choices: what moral values to have, what people to be with and what aims to achieve.
2……….First of all, we have to think about our inner world. People say, "When a man begins to understand himself, he begins to live." In my opinion, it's good to be easygoing, fun-loving, well-wishing and reliable. I can say that I'm a sociable person because I can easily communicate with others. That's why I'm always surrounded with friends. Furthermore, I'm responsible because I know all my duties I'm in charge of and I try to fulfill them. So, both my parents and my friends can rely on me. I'm helpful when my friends face either difficulties or hardships. Finally, I'm ambitious because I want to be successful in life.
3………..However, I have character traits I would like to get rid of. I think that my serious fault is being too moody at times when I feel unhappy and impatient without a reason. What is more, I often make critical remarks about other people's work or behavior. In addition, I can be obstinate at times. I don't like to change my ideas and opinions even when other people think I'm unreasonable.
4………..All things considered, none of us is perfect. But we have to be optimists in everything we do. I try to do my best to discover my own personality. I want to change myself and to become better. The person who thinks positively and tries hard to be sensible, honest, kind and caring will be wiser tomorrow than he or she is today.
5……….In this year I'll have to make important decisions in my life by myself. My life will be enlarged with my own responsibilities. I'm sure that I'll make the right steps in my personal growth.
Task 2.1. Read the text and decide if the statements are TRUE or FALSE according to what the text says.
1. A personality is a person who has a character and is distinguished from others.
2. Personality is the one who has not discovered the road to himself.
3. We must do all possible to become personalities.
4. Everybody of us must think about inner world.
5. We have to be optimists in everything we do but we needn’t do anything to discover own personality.

Hinemoa was a beautiful daughter of a native chief who lived near a great lake in New Zealand. In the middle of the lake there was an island. Tutanekai, a brave young warrior, lived with his tribe on the island. One day Hinemoa's father gave a great feast where many young Maori warriors from different tribes were present. These all young warriors danced and sang at the feast. Tutanekai was among them. He was the most handsome and the bravest warrior. He sang and played his flute beautifully. Hinemoa fell in love with Tutanekai and he fell in love with her. But when Hinemoa told her father that she loved Tutanekai and wanted to become his wife, the old chief became very angry and said 'You are the chief's daughter and you must marry a chief. Forget that man. If you try to see him, I shall lock you in the house. If he comes to our village, he will die'. Hinemoa was unhappy. Tutanekai's friends told him he did not have to leave his island. Then in the evening Hinemoa heard the sound of a flute. It came across the lake from the island.
Tutanekai's flute told Hinemoa about his great love. Night after night Hinemoa went down to the shore to listen to Tutanekai's flute and dreamed of meeting him. This made her father still angrier. He ordered his warriors to take away all canoes from the water so that his daughter might not go to the island in one of them.
For a time Hinemoa spent her evenings near the lake always looking towards the island but she never found a canoe there, which could take her across the water. At last Hinemoa thought of a plan. She tied six empty gourds together as floats. She hoped that they would help her to reach to the island. The island was very far and even at the daytime it was very difficult to approach to it. She decided to start at night when nobody could see her. She waited for the night when the moon would be behind the clouds and when it grew dark she slipped into the water and began to swim. It was quite in the village. Nobody saw her. But how cold and dark the water was! Something touched her leg and she got terribly frightened, but she swam and swam, until she was so tired and weak that she could not swim any longer. She cried out in the darkness. Then the moon came out from behind the dark cloud and the girl saw that the island was near. A few minutes later she could feel the grounds under her feet. She rested for a moment then she came to realize that the water was warm: there was a hot spring nearby. She entered the warm water and got stronger. Hinemoa found Tutanekai and became his wife. They lived on the island happily for many years. Hinemoa's father could not be angry with his daughter for a long time. Soon he came to the island with many beautiful gifts to her and Tutanekai. The hot spring, which gave her life and strength back, has been known as Hinemoa's Bath then.
