4. How different we are!
Read the following descriptions of people. Then match the
descriptions with names from the box:
Mr. Hip Mr. Negative Mr. Know-all Miss Selfish
Mr. Muscle Miss Stylish Miss Anxiety
John knows everything. Cars, sport, politics, people are
of his interest. He always knows what to say in any
situation and he is always ready to say it - no matter that
people don't want to listen. He has a very good memory
and when he reads about something or sees something on
TV he often repeats it. He often makes a good impression but after
some time people get tired. John is not very popular.
Miss "Me, Myself and I". When somebody offers her a
piece of chocolate she takes three or four to make sure
that she gets enough. She never shares anything with
anybody. If you want to borrow something from ' her,
she says: "This is mine!" When she helps others it is
always because she wants to get something from them. When her
grandmother does not feel well she worries a lot. Not because her
granny is ill, but because she has to visit her instead of going to the
cinema.
Mr. Cool cares about fashion but in a cool way. He is
always cool. Everything he does, the way he talks, the
way he walks says: "Hey, look at me, I'm so cool!"
When he likes something he says: "That's cool, man".
Mr. Cool uses expensive eau de cologne and a lot of hair
gel; he has a cool mobile phone and cool clothes. And cool means -
fashionable and expensive. When he goes to the mountains he never
goes skiing but always snowboarding. He thinks that women love
him. But this is only what he thinks.
Mary knows what is fashionable because she watches
BBC, CNN, and reads beauty magazines. She is always
up-to-date with fashion. Mary listens only to the most
fashionable music. Her parents aren't very happy because
every season they have to buy her completely new
clothes. Not because her old clothes are too small, or worn, but
because they are out of fashion. She doesn't talk about people - she
talks about what they wear.
Nick's favourite subject at school is PE (physical education). When a
teacher asks him about anything other than sport his face
goes blank. People speak to him slowly, and with simple
words. Nick is very strong, but when you ask him about
the situation in the Balkans, or what the capital city of
Sweden is, he simply doesn't know. But when you ask
him about the football league, Nick knows everything -
the names of the teams, all the players, and the number of goals in
each match.
"Don't worry, don't worry..." — it never works. Sue always worries.
If you are ten minutes late she thinks you are dead or
something really bad has happened. Everybody worries
about tests at school but Sue can't sleep, doesn't eat and
starts panicking three days before any test. Anywhere
she goes - a picnic, a trip, the mountains, etc. - she
always worries about everything and everybody. She is
also afraid of meeting new people.
Peter, a born pessimist, never looks on the bright side of
life. He wakes up in the morning, goes to the bathroom,
looks in the mirror and thinks "Another unlucky day".
He loves watching football on TV but seldom plays
because it is very dangerous. He rarely goes for a walk in
the forest because there are lots of spiders and mosquitoes and they
are very dangerous, too. Before a test he tells everyone that he is
going to fail. Mike doesn't know he is a pessimist. He thinks he is just
careful.

is. Let them guess him/her!
