1 character性格 Beginner A: Do you like Barry? B: no, not very much. He’s too ambitious and dishonest. A: I agree. I like his brother, Paul. They are not alike. B: yes. They are completely different. Paul is very sociable and much more honest than his brother. A: what kind of person do you consider yourself to be? B: I think I’m polite, careful, relaxed and shy. A: oh, I don’t think you’re shy! You are always chatting with new people when we go to a party. B: well, yes, but those people always start talking to me. I never talk to them first. Perhaps I’m not as shy as I think. Anyway, you’re certainly not shy! A: You’re right. I love going out and making new friends. B: so, you’ll be at my birthday party on Friday? A: Of course! Intermediate A: How do you think people get their personalities? B: I think it’s mainly from the environment a person lives it. A: Don’t you think people get their personalities from their parents?

A: So why do you think many kids have personalities that are so different to their parents. B: maybe when they become teenagers, they want to be completely different to their parents. A: You might be right. I guess most parents want their kids to be like them, but kids today grow up in a different environment. You know, they know much more about the world from the internet, newspapers, and TV. B: do you think that teenagers get a lot of their bad behavior from TV and movies? A: Maybe some of it. I think a lot of people blame TV and movies when the real problem is that the parents aren’t bringing their child up correctly. B: Parents have a difficult job. They have to bring up their children and usually have to work too. A: Yes, that’s true. Your son is doing well at school, isn’t he? B: yes, he is. He’s very hard working when he’s at school. Then he comes home from school and does homework befo
