Our character is what we do when we think no one is looking

I don’t fully agree with it. I personally think that people’s behavior can tell us a lot about their character. We admire people who are modest, tactful and noble. It’s nice when people are polite, when they respect the elderly and their parents. It isn’t easy to get along with people who are unfair, rude, selfish and lazy. But on the other hand there are people who just want to produce a good impression on others and they put on a different face when they are alone. In my opinion if we want to know who we really are, we should look at what we do when no one is looking. Because when we are alone we tend to be more open and to do things we would never do in public.

However, character isn’t something that should disappear because you are alone. It’s something that should be the same no matter who you are with or what you are doing.

Very often I ask myself a question: “What kind of person am I?” I consider myself to be kind-hearted, honest, intelligent and reliable. I have high self-esteem. However I ‘m a bit hot-headed.

I want to be a success in life and that’s why I study hard at school. I never leave things half-done. I may say I’m persistent and put much effort to achieve my aim. I want other people to respect me. I want to be strong and self-organized in front of them. That’s why I have to keep my emotions inside and although some of my classmates are jealous, I never show how offensive the things they say can sometimes be.

I love my family of course I may be a little naughty and rude but I always try to help my mother about the house I never lie to her. And I feel really great when my nearest and dearest are happy.

I always look forward ro meeting my friends. I relax and we have a lot of fun together. I highly appreciate friendship and good relations and try to be patient and understanding to my friends and to forgive their faults.

Of course there are no ideal people. We are all humans and nothing human is alien to us. I’m not an ideal person either. Sometimes I can be rude, hot-tempered and disobedient. We should take the world as it is. But I’m absolutely sure that we should try to improve it starting with ourselves. Every day you should work on yourself. And the efforts you make to become better will undoubtedly pay off.

1.When you first meet people what do you look at first. What does it tell you about the person?

Well, I think first I look at people’s clothes. You can’t but agree that clothes are really important because they tell people a lot.Clothes can tell us about people’s well-being, about their nationality and sometimes about their profession.

Clothes have always carried messages about social status, personal taste as well as individual self-expression. We always want to impress people. But the first impression we make almost fully depends on what we wear and how we wear it. Manners and speech are noticed next and character only later. So it’s quite natural that clothes are really important. They say “clothes make the man” …

2.What features of character do you value most in people?

I like it when people are kind-hearted and friendly. Such things as consideration for others, patience, tenderness, sincerity are also very important. What I really appreciate in people is honesty and a sense of humor.

3. What kind of people do you dislike?

I don’t like people who are rude, unfriendly, selfish and tactless. The quality I hate in people is insincerity

4. What unpleasant qualities of your future spouse are you ready to put up with.

Well, I think my future wife will possess the qualities I admire. But there are no ideal people. And I’m ready to put up with the drawbacks of her character. The only thing I’m not going to put up with is insincerity.

Clothes, fashion.

“Clothes Make the Man”

Clothes have always carried messages about social status, personal taste as well as individual self-expression.

You can’t but agree that clothes are really important because they tell people a lot about us and sometimes we judge people by what they are wearing. So people dressed in expensive clothes are thought to be wealthy and if a man is shabbily dressed he’s obviously poor and probably homeless.

Clothes can tell us about people’s nationality. So, a man wearing a tartan kilt, a black long-sleeved velvet jacket, knee-length socks and a small black hat is surely a Scots-man

Sometimes clothes tell us about people’s occupation. If you work as a nurse, a doctor, a police-officer or a fire-fighter you have to wear a standard uniform.

I personally think that the main thing about clothes is to be appropriately dressed for the occasion. When I go out with my friends at the weekend I prefer to wear casual clothes I feel more comfortable in, such as jeans, a T-shirt or a loose shirt with flat shoes or trainers. When I go for a meal in a restaurant or to a wedding party I like to be smartly dressed in something elegant and stylish and to look very classy and chic. And if I had to attend a formal occasion such as a job interview I would wear a smart fitted costume. There is much discussion nowadays about a school uniform. Some of my

classmates want to abolish the uniform at school.. But I think that we have to accept the fact it is necessary to wear it.

 

School is a place where students acquire knowledge. It’s not a playground, a beach or a ballroom. And it’s better for the students to spend time listening to the teacher and learning something than examining the latest trends of fashion.

Everyone in my class is really fashionable. They spend a lot of time talking about the clothes and jewelry they are going to spend money on. Some of my classmates have cut their hair into strange shapes, pierced their ears. They wear a lot of cheap jewelry. They say they show off their independence, feelings and values. I don’t know if they are right.

Fashion does play a part in my life, but I’m not really obsessed with it. I do want to look smart but I wouldn’t describe myself as a fashion victim. Fashion comes and does and looking clean and tidy is more important than looking stylish. I hate it when people dress alike because they buy clothes in chain stores. I prefer hand-made or design clothes, in these clothes you really feel you are an individual and you can look really extravagant.

The main factor which influences me when I go shopping for clothes is the price; I also pay attention to the color of the garment I want to buy and try to match it with clothes I already own.

By the way, most people are influenced by fashion in a number of ways. For instance, they decorate their houses according to fashion; go on holidays to fashionable places and so on.
