What six personality types are discussed? DO OPPOSITES ATTRACT EACH OTHER? ‘Some psychologists believe that we are attracted to poopie who seam to have the characteristics that we wish we had. For example. ifyou love music but don't play an instrument. you might be attracted to someone who is amusiczan Being with that person allows you to be close to ‘something that is important to you and that you want more of in your lite Because people are very complex. we can be attracted to several different kinds of people who are our opposites in one way or another. 0 let's take a 100k at Six principal kinds of characteristics in people. and you can decide which type you are most like ang which type is your opposite. Let's begin with introverted and extroverted people. Introverted people often spend a lot of time inside thelr minds and can be quiet and reserved. Extroverted people enjoy getting ut and spending time vith other people. If opposites attract. then there will always be an interest between intioverted ard extroverted people. introverted people will get cut of their ‘minds and into the viorid with their extroverted {tiends or pariners, while extroverted people will appreciate the quiet space of the inner world of their introverted riends or partners. Then there are people who relate to the world ‘fom a thinking perspective and others who relate to it froma feeling perspective, Thinkers ccan be cool and objective in their judgments. while feolore may bo warm and paceenate about theirs, Because people who spend a lot of time thinking want to feel deeply too, they may be attracted to a feeling kind of person. And someone who is very aware of their ovn powerful feelings may enjoy the company of @ relaxed and logical thinker, Two other characteristics are those of people who use their tie senses to understand tne ‘world we live in as opposed to those who use their intuition. Sensing poople are very aware of the present moment; they are realistic and practical people. Intuitive people. on the other hand, often spend their time in a future of infinite possibilities where their imagination is as free as, abird, The attraction here could be that intuitive people realize they need the practical know-how ‘of sensing people in order to make their dreams come true. Likewise, the sensors are attracted to the imaginative possibilities they see in intuttive people. These three different pairs of personality characteristics — the introvert and the extrovert, the thinker and the feeler, and the sensor and the intuitive ~ are of course found in each individual person, Yot many psychologists balieve that a person will more often use one characteristic of each pair, in the same way that people use either thoir lott hand or thoir right. And, aecorcing to tho idea that opposites attract, the left hand needs the right hand in the same way that the right hand needs the left! B Based on the information in the article, what kind of people are you attracted to? Circle the words. Then, using the idea that opposites attract, complete the next sentence with the type of person you must be. 1. Lam more attracted to a person who is (introverted / extroverted). Therefore, | am 2, 1am more attracted to a person who is a (thinker / feeler). Therefore, Lama 3. lam more attracted to a person who is the (sensing type / intuitive type).

At Could you carry these boxe forme? | have abad back, __ B: Sorry, but |have a bad back, too 2. A: Unit 3 y Getting what you want A Scan the magazine article about making requests. What strategies can you use for less formal requests? What strategies can you use for more formal requests? ‘When you make a request, it helps to be clear about ‘wo things: Firstly, how well do you know the other person? Secondly, how important ist for you to {get what you want? Are you willing to take “no” for an answer? Let's sey that you would like to borrow someone's car 10 go out on Friday night. Because borrowing @ car big favor, we can assume thet you'd probably only ack ‘someone you know well for this favor in general, when, making requests of friends or dose acquaintances, you can use a lees formal approach. Now lets imagine that it's very important for you to hhave that car on Friday night; you have to have it In ‘that case, you can let the other person know in a less ‘formal, direct nay. Here ate twa possible strategies: 1. Make a statement with need. "Ineed to borrow your can" 2. Use an imperative: "Please lend me your ear." By avoiding questions, this approach makes it more dificult forthe other parson to say no. Ifyou are ling to putthe other peison ina possibly awkward situation, then thsis defintely the clearest, ond perhaps most effective, way of gating what you want. 'But maybo you expoct the cther person to say no, and you can live wth that. This attitude allows you to have ‘a cooler, more abjective perspective, s0 you can make your request in a mare ferma, indirect way. Here are some examples: 3. Ask about ability: *Could/Can you lend me your ear?” A. Be polite — use may: "May | borrow your car?” 5, Ack for permission: "Would it be OK if borrowed your car 6. Express curiosity: "I wonder if | could borrow your car.” 7. State the request negative you could lend me your ai 8 Apologize: "| hope you don't bbut could | borrow your car?” 8. Give a hints "Ihave plane far Friday night, hu don't have a car” “I don't suppose ind my asking, ‘This approach gives the other parson a polite way 10 ‘efuse if, for eny reason, they don’t want to or cannot lend you their car. And even though you know the person well, taking a more formal approach proves to the listener that you realize mhat a big favor you're asking. it shows them respact and appreciation — which ‘makes it more likely that you'll get the resul: you want! B Read the article. Check (7) if each request is less formal or more formal. Then write the correct number from the article (1-9) for each type of request. Only eight of the numbers will be used. fe coal 1. Close the door. 2. It's really cold in here. 4, May | borrow your dictionary? 6. I need some help moving to my new apartment, 7.
