Tip T See units in the coursebooks • Prime Time Transition 5: Unit 2 page 18 • Prime Time 5: Unit 2 page 14 1 How shall I describe myself? What am I like as a person? Complicated! I’m sensitive, friendly, outgoing, popular and tolerant, though I can also be shy and self-conscious. I’d like to be friendly and tolerant all the time. That’s the kind of person I want to be, and I’m disappointed when I’m not. I’m responsible, even hard-working now and then. On the other hand, however, I’m sometimes lazy too, because if you’re too serious you won’t be popular. I don’t usually do that well at school. I’m a pretty cheerful person, especially with my friends. At home, I’m more likely to be uneasy with my parents around. They expect me to get good grades all the time. That’s just not fair! I always worry about how I could do better. That’s why I’m usually pretty stressed out at home. But I really don’t understand how I can switch so fast. I mean, how can I be cheerful one minute, worried the next, and then be frustrated and angry? Which one is the real me? I don’t know who I really am! The good thing is that I don’t really care what others think anyway. I don’t want to care, that is. I just want to know what my close friends think. 5 10 15 20 25 b) Write down six words you would like to remember.
