What do your sleep habits say about your personality?
be go like not be stay
(A/An/The) ‘early bird’ is someone who wakes up early. ‘Night owls’ stay up late. My sister goes
to bed at 1 a.m. every night, so she is definitely a night owl. It’s (always/never/seldom) hard for her to
get up for school. I am not a night owl at all! I (usually/seldom/never) go to bed at 10 p.m. So, how
different are these types of people? Look at (a/an/the) descriptions below to see what they say about
them .
Early birds are friendly. They can talk to others easily. Early birds (seldom/sometimes/often) stay up
late unless there is a special event. Early birds are hard workers and they arrive on time when they have
(a/an/the) meeting.

Can you change your personality?
I know I can be difficult person. (Sometimes/Seldom/Always), I’m rude to my sister. I do not want to
be mean to her , but it’s out of my control. I think I have (a/an/the) anger problem. I’m also a bit lazy. On
weekdays, I’m (seldom/never/often) late for school. My parents get very upset when they get a call from
(a/an/the) school’s secretary! It makes me wonder … Is it possible to change my personality?
Many people believe that personality (always/usually/never) changes. You stay the same forever.
However, two famous psychology professors say that it’s possible to change. They published
(a/an/the) new study. It shows that personality can change through hard word or after bit life events.
Maybe I can be different in (a/an/the) future. On the other hand, my dad wants me to stay the same. He
tells me to be kind to myself. He says that we all make mistakes and it ’s a bad idea to try to be perfect.
He’s (always/seldom/often) wrong, so maybe I should listen to him. He has more life experience after all.
