| Describe a person you know well using words from the unit.
Describe one or more popular characters from fiction or film using words from the unit. Do not name the character but let your classmates guess who it is in the commentary.
Describe a situation when you were self-conscious.
Have you ever been naive and gullible? What was the outcome?
Are you impulsive? Is it good or bad, in your opinion?
Have you ever been mistaken in assessing someone's personality and character? In what way?
If you are treated in an effusive way, are you pleased or not? Why?
Suggest a Russian translation for the following sentences:
I’ve always found Professor Mactoft very unapproachable, but his colleague Dr O’Daly is very approachable.
Joe is always so polite and respectful. I wish he would be more informal and just treat me as his equal.
She’s a restless individual. I don’t think she’ll ever settle down in a job.

| Are you impulsive? Is it good or bad, in your opinion?
I suppose I can be impulsive at times. And often if you are told "he's an impulsive person", you will already have a slightly negative attitude towards that person from the start. This is because impulsiveness is more associated with negative judgement: impetuous, unreliable, excitable, irritable and so on.
But there are also strengths of the impulsive person. Impulsive nature allows a person to make quick decisions. After all, most often such people react quickly to external circumstances. Thus, we get a person who perfectly will adapt to the rapidly changing environment.
Quick decision-making, in turn, develops intuition, which is of great help in life. Someone with a better intuition it is more likely to succeed. Probably there is no skill that can be compared to intuition.
You will immediately know which emotion an impulsive person is experiencing. Have you ever met such people who have nothing written on their face and it is completely impossible to understand what they are feeling now? With an impulsive person this can not happen.

Я всегда считал профессора Мактофта неприветливым, а вот его коллега, доктор О'Дейли, напротив, очень располагает к себе.
Джо всегда так вежлив и уважителен. Хотелось бы, чтобы он вел себя более непринужденно и воспринимал меня как равного себе.
Она непоседливая особа. Не думаю, что когда-нибудь она остановится на одной работе.

| Have you ever been mistaken in assessing someone's personality and character? In what way?
I personally have an extremely strong intuition. So, quite often it helps me to assess people’s personality and character properly. That is why I often see (feel, I should say) people’s character behind their behavior, which is almost always – an accurately built construction or a result of diffidence.
So, for example, I am sure that effusive people are not generally sincere. At the same time, people behaving like this may be just rather emotional and easily excitable. I’ve already noticed that self-conscious people who feel lonely because of their inability to talk to people properly, can behave in an effusive way because of high emotional stress due to a long-awaited opportunity to communicate with people.
It often happens that impetuous and pushy people are thought to be just haughty and selfish, as they want others to act and behave the way they want. At the same time they can easily be distrustful or even hyper-responsible.
However, people are extremely complicated creatures, so it's almost impossible to say exactly, why he or she behaves this or that way. At the same time, Christianity offers spiritual explanations and solutions of psychological issues.

1) Профессор Мактофт всегда казался мне недоступным, но его коллега, доктор О'Дели, напротив, очень открытый человек.
2) Джо так хорошо воспитан и всегда ведет себя так вежливо. Все же, мне бы хотелось, чтобы он держался более непринуждённо и принимал меня за равного себе.
3) Она ищущая натура. Не думаю, чтобы она однажды остановилась на каком-то одном деле.

It is believed that introverts are diffident people with low self-esteem. However, it often happens so that within their family or with close friends introverts are outgoing and talkative. They are usually just self-conscious and seem unapproachable or even taciturn for people they know little.

| Are you impulsive? Is it good or bad, in your opinion?
I would not characterize myself as an impulsive person. I know for sure that this is not my stand-out trait. I think I can be impulsive in some situations, but mostly I prefer to be guided by logic and rationality. Impulsive people are guided by primary emotions and feelings, and I think this is not always good, as it indicates an inability to lead and understand their emotional part of consciousness. But sometimes acting intuitively, emotionally and impulsively means living in the present moment.
If you are treated in an effusive way, are you please or not? Why?
I like to look at emotional people who actively gesticulate and express their thoughts emotionally vividly. Such people are pleasant to look at, they feel the pleasure of life. But at the same time, I cannot say that I am delighted with people who can go on shouting or talking incessantly all the time, jumping from topic to topic and simply not interested in your opinion. The happy medium is necessary in everything.

Я всегда думал, что профессор Мактофта очень закрытый и необщительный, а его коллега доктор О'Дейли полная противоположность.
Джо всегда такой вежливый и учтивый. Я бы хотел, чтобы он вел себя более непринужденно и просто относился ко мне как к равному.
Ей сложно фокусироваться на чем-то одном. Я думаю, ей будет сложно найти работу.

I was a NAIVE kid. We hold ALOOF from each other for the most part. His attitude toward us became less HAUGHTY. His voice was DISDAINFUL. Humans are so GULLIBLE.

Well, speaking as a 21-year-old girl who loves traveling, I think a bit of impulsiveness can add excitement and spontaneity to life. Sometimes, the best adventures come from those spontaneous decisions to explore a new place, try a new activity, or meet new people. It can make travel experiences more memorable and thrilling.
However, it's also important to strike a balance. Being too impulsive without considering the consequences can sometimes lead to risky situations or missed opportunities for planning and preparation. So, while I appreciate the thrill of spontaneity, I'd say it's good in moderation. It's all about finding that sweet spot where you can embrace the unexpected while still making wise choices.

| Are you impulsive? Is it good or bad, in your opinion?
To be honest, I can be both impulsive and rational. When it comes to my emotions, unfortunately, I am quite impulsive. I find it hard to keep my feelings to myself, I always want to share them with others. The same happens with resentment and irritation, I often suffer from the fact that I can't control these emotions, although I try very hard. I believe this is not my good trait, because most often in a situation it is better to keep silent, even if a person offended you a lot. Especially if he is not so close to you, with your irritation or offence you will only show your real feelings, although this person, most likely, will not care. On the other hand, impulsiveness has its advantages - I never keep silent about problems and speak about them directly, it helps a lot in close relationships, as all offences are solved immediately. It often happens that one holds all the emotions inside himself, and the other person is not even aware of the first person's feelings.
When it comes to some everyday things, I am rather rational. For example, before buying something, I will study all the options for a long time, read a large number of reviews and comments, compare this thing from different sellers so that I don't make any mistakes with my choice. I think this is a good quality that helps me to save money in the long run and not to make spontaneous and wrong decisions.

Я всегда чувствовала себя скованно с профессором Мактофтом, в отличие от его коллеги, доктора О’Дейли, с которым очень легко общаться.
Джо всегда такой учтивый и почтительный. Жаль, что он не может быть проще и не воспринимать меня как кого-то ниже себя.
Она человек непоседливый. Не думаю, что она когда-нибудь надолго задержится на одной работе.

______________________________
Tom’s impulsive nature, though often charming, made him seem excitable and unpredictable. This, combined with a naturally reserved and sometimes aloof personality, made him appear unapproachable to many; most people mistook his quietness for coldness. He wasn’t pushy, but his impetuous decisions could be disturbing. He therefore struggled to build lasting relationships, despite his well-balanced personality.

First character: She is from the book "War and Peace." She is an extrovert, excitable and really outgoing. At the beginning of the book, she was quite naive, gullible, impetuous and impulsive. But at the end, she became a well-balanced and modest person.
Second character: a young man from one famous Russian novel. He is taciturn, an introvert and very conscientious. At the beginning of the book, he is definitely self-important and thinks that he is better than others, but at the end, he became modest and closer to God.

Джо всегда вежлив и уважителен. Я бы хотела, чтобы мы общались с ним на равне наравне, чтобы он вёл себя более непринуждённо в моей компании.
Она по природе непоседлива. Не думаю, что ей когда-нибудь удастся устроиться на работу.

At the beginning of the story, this character could be described as obstinate and naive. Due to his gullibility and impulsiveness, he often got into trouble. However, this character has come a long way, transforming from a boy to a real man. He is now able not only to stand up for his beliefs, but also create a world where he lives separately from others and needs nothing.
Due to certain circumstances, this person has become aloof. As a result, God has become the main figure in his life, and the Bible has become his main book. This person has become a very conscientious person, and in his world, he not only satisfies his needs, but has also learned how to create things to live in abundance.

1) My best friend is an INTROVERT but I consider she has quite a low SELF-ESTEEM. 2) I’m tired of this because she is RESERVED and other people think that she is ALOOF. 3) I tried to convince her that she should be more OUTGOING and EXTROVERTED. 4) But it turned out that I was PUSHY and PIG-HEADED so we decided to save our friendship by being RESPECTFUL to each other.

Recently, I met a new friend who I want to describe. At first, I had no idea about her character. I thought she was a modest and introverted person. I didn't think she had low self-esteem nor that she was a haughty person, because she was the leader of a media group at our university and communicated a lot with people. But still, I didn't know who she really was as a person.
Then, I decided to join a group of organizers for our choir, and together with this girl, we decided to take responsibility for social video content and create something together. She turned out to be effusive, talkative and outgoing person with whom I could laugh out loud without feeling embarrassed. Moreover, we have a lot in common, such as our love for singing and learning new things. Now that I know her better, I would never describe her as reserved, but she considers herself an introvert, which I can't really believe.

Она все время меняет свое поле деятельности. Не думаю, что она когда-либо сможет выбрать одну работу.
