Personality types What's stressful to one person may be all in a day's work for another. The difference
appears to lie in our perceptions of various events. Mental health professionals believe personality plays a significant role in how we perceive stress. People with "Type A" personalities, for example, are rushed, ambitious, time-conscious and driven. Studies suggest these traits, if not properly managed, can create stressrelated illnesses. In contrast, the "Type B" personality is a much more relaxed, less time-conscious and driven person. Type B personalities are able to view things more adaptively. They are better able to put things into perspective, and think through how they are going to deal with situations. Consequently they tend to be less stress-prone. The Development of Personality Type But where do these differences in personality come from? A variety of social, biological, psychological and behavioral factors influence the development of our character. Scientists agree that a largely genetic personal chemistry, or in-born temperament, influences an infant to react to its environment in ways that can be assertive or shy. Such tendencies are further influenced by experiences. The combination of inheritance and experience form an individual's characteristic way of behaving, feeling and thinking his personality. Studies also show that men and women handle stress differently a difference that some scientists attribute, in part, to estrogen. This hormonal difference may also account for the fact that women are three times more likely to develop depression in response to the stress in their lives than are men. Women, unlike men, also tend to TAKEN FROM: have stronger social support networks to which they turn during times of stress. These http://tinyurl.com/bj5mruh social supports may help explain why women, in general, seem to be better able to cope with stress than men.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?

Write a short article summarizing all your ideas.

Planning Use conditionals

If we were in charge of organizing the 2016s Olympic games, we would decorate the stadium with flags from all the countries of the world. On top of that we would invite children from all countries involved and teach them a dance number with a coreography. There would be a lot of firework, too. Many actors and singers from different parts of the world would rehearse a little number in which the importance of being united is highlighted. Finally, we would have a famous singer sing a song in different languages. We think itwill be awesome.

 Now, you have to present your ideas to the commitee in charge. You and your partners will have to get ready for a short presentation. Be ready to answer any questions. At the end, the whole group will choose one proposal.
