【正文】 Do not always dwell on your unluckiness。 get physically sick more often。 that is, I am not very curious. For example, I am not interested in knowing what’s happening around me. I am not crazy about trying new food. I am not curious about the affairs of other people. I am a bit selfcentered. I hope to be the center of attention. I am also a bit bossy, hoping that others will do what I tell them. I am also very outspoken, but I do not get annoyed if my suggestions are not accepted.3. Pen Pal TimeSampleDear Host or Hostess,I’m a freshman from Northeast University, majoring in Electrical Engineering. I’m writing in the hope that I can make some new friends.On the whole, I’m a lively, active and helpful girl, who enjoys staying with friends. I also have a sensitive and emotional soul. I value friendship more than anything else. In my free time I enjoy listening to music, such as classic, pop, or light music. My favorite group is “Back Street Boys”. My Motto is “I believe I can fly”. But I don’t like sports, so those who enjoy watching games and talking about sports, do not write to me. Otherwise, they will be disappointed.Anyone who is of a similar age and wants a friend to talk to or write to, please lanyue1222. Write to me and you will receive my reply immediately, especially if you write in English. Yours, Zhang Yan 4. Your Show TimeA sample for “selfishness”:S: Hi, Mr. Li. Do you have a few minutes? A: Yes, sure. Anything wrong? You don’t look very well. S: I don’t know how to start. It’s about my personality, you know.A: Yes?S: I am the only child in my family. My paternal grandparents, maternal grandparents and parents all love me very much, even to the point of spoiling me. This makes me very selfcentered and very selfish.A: Oh? Did anyone tell you that before?S: They didn’t say anything directly. But I could sense that. For example, my roommates don’t like to talk to me. It’s hard for me to make friends with any of them and I feel very isolated. I want to get rid of selfishness. But I don’t know how.A: I know it’s hard to change, since you have been like this for about 18 years, right? But it’s not impossible. S: How?A: First, you have to remember that most of your classmates are also the only child of their families. So you are not much different from them. They are all your equals and deserve the same rights and treatment. You can’t expect them to please you or do anything for you like your family members.S: You are right. I was wrong in thinking that they should all adore me as if I were a prince. princess.A: Also, you need to be more agreeable and generous when you’re with them. You should learn to share, for example, your books, CDs, food, and also your feelings and experiences with others. Try to be more considerate and helpful. Do not make loud noises when others are sleeping. If someone is ill, ask him/her what you could do for them, buy them some drink or food. Once you show your concern for others, they will certainly feel grateful to you and repay you some day, and will treat you as their friend.S: Yes. You are quite right. I have never thought of helping others. In my whole life, I am the one who has been helped and taken care of.A: My last point: Ask yourself, whether you want to make friends with a selfish person who always takes things from you but never gives.S: Of course not!A: That’s it! Good luck!S: Thank you so much!A sample for “impatience”:A: Hi, Tom. You don’t look very happy. What’s wrong?S: I just had a fight with Ted.A: About what?S: It was at noon. I felt a bit sleepy and was having a nap. When I was just about to fall asleep, I suddenly heard Ted calling my name. I woke up. He just wanted to ask me a stupid question. A: So you flew into a rage?S: Yes! I asked him to shut up, and be quiet! And he became angry too. We didn’t talk to each other the whole afternoon.A: You are a bit impatient. I don’t think he intended to annoy you and woke you up on purpose. S: Now I also realize I was too quicktempered. But what can I do to change it?A: I think you need to put yourself in other people’s shoes. If others shout at you rudely, how would you feel? S: I would be annoyed. I might never talk to that person again.A: So, you see, do not do to others what you do not want others do to you.S: Yeah, that’s right.A: Also, always think twice before you leap. You may do something like deep breathing, or counting to ten before you speak.S: Ok. I will try to remember that.A: You may also put up some reminders such as “Be Patient” on the wall.S: That’s a good idea! I enjoy calligraphy. I might write one myself.A: Great! I hope you will be more patient and enjoy your college life here.A sample for “dishonesty”:(At Miss Li’s office.)S: Hi, Miss Li. A: Hi, Sara. Come on in! Anything I can help with?S: Yes, I’m afraid so. I hate myself. I despise myself!A: Why? What’s wrong?S: I have a big problem with my personality. I seem to be a habitual liar. I know some of my classmates have labeled me as “dishonest”, but I never intend to be so. A: I know, I know. So let’s see what we can do with it. You said you told lies. Why was that? What kind of lie did you tell?S: For example, I didn’t get a high score in Calculus last semester. In fact, I just got a pass. But when others asked me about my score, I told them I got 85. But later, they found out I didn’t tell the truth.A: OK! I think that’s because you wished you could have had a higher score. The low score made you feel a bit ashamed, kind of losing face, right? So you tried to hide the truth. But remember, getting a low score occasionally is normal. Most students have such experiences. You have to learn to accept that. On the contrary, telling lies will be frowned
