Personalities
Today I’m sharing a topic I enjoy from my private English lessons – personalities and characteristics. This episode is vocab-heavy and hopefully, you’ll learn a lot! Feel free to answer the questions I give today in the comments here.
Questions to Answer
“The way you dress is an expression of your personality.”
Do you agree or disagree with this statement? If agree, what do your clothes say about you?
Describe your personality in 3 (positive) words
For myself, I said: simple, laid-back and optimistic.
What kinds of people do you get on well with?
To get on with someone = To have a good relationship with someone
What traits do you dislike in a person?
Trait = A characteristic
What trait would you like to develop?
I said I wanted to be a better listener.
When you meet a new person, do they grow on you over time, or do you hit it off right away?
I love it when you hit it off, but for most of my friends, we grew on each other over time. This means we liked each other after a long time, and not right away.
Are you humble or egotistical?
This is kind of a tricky question!

My there words would be
Introvert, kind and persistent😉
I would say , optimistic , realistic , social . 😄
Those are nice ones! I wish I was better at the last.
Another interesting episode. My three words would be kind, positive, and persistent. My clothes are durable (jeans), and I’m not a big fan of colours, like you, Michael. I wear some coloured t-shirts regularly though.
Great adjectives! I would agree 🙂
