Unit Five Teaching Plan Personality Part 2 Reading Lead-in Activity: Discussion ?Samples 1. —— I am a man of few words. When I want to express my feelings, I tend to use facial expressions and body language instead of talking for a long time. Sometimes people may get the impression that I am a cold person just because of my silence. After they get to know me, however, they will regard me as a friendly and passionate guy. I am also very optimistic about things and believe in faith rather than in science. —— I am an outgoing girl. I love to make friends and tell everything to them including things regarded as “skeletons in the closet”. Some of my classmates think I am shallow, but I think I am just straightforward. As happy as I appear to be, I always feel sad because I am used to looking on the dark side when I see things. For all these years I have been trying to become a happier and more active person, but little progress has been made. 2. —— I think personality is more important to a person’s success. As we know, “A man’s character is his fate.” Personality contributes greatly to a person’s success or failure. If a person’s personality type suits his or her career, then success will come sooner or later. —— Although many people think that personality determines one’s fate, I believe that hard work is in fact the most important factor in determining whether one’s going to succeed or fail. No matter what kind of personality you’ve got, as long as you’re willing to work well, you will succeed some day. As the old saying goes, “As a man sows, so he shall reap.” In a word, I believe hard work is far more important than personality.
