Unit Opener Extend Worksheet 3.1.1

1 Work in pairs. Read and discuss.

Who you are is the result of many things. Some things,

such as your family or your culture, you have no control
over. Others, such as your behaviour or style of clothing,
are within your power to change. When you become a
teenager, you think more about the image you present to
the world. What kind of person do you think you are?
What do other people think about you? Is there anything
you would like to change about yourself?

2 How do you express or show the kind of person you are? Tick four ways.
by the way I act with my family
by the way I act with my friends and with people I don’t know
by how popular I am
by my hobbies and interests
by the things I’m most passionate about
