Simon is reading a magazine article about what influences personality .
How is your personality formed?
Your personality is a special mix of your thoughts, feelings and behaviours.How is your personality formed? Most people believe that it is influenced by both nature and the environment.
By nature
Some parts of your personality are passed on to you by your parents. That is why people say, "Like father, like son." Sometimes, these qualities do not change easily and may remain the same for your whole life.
By the environment
The environment, including your education, your experiences as well as the people around you, can change your personality. For example, you may become confident if you successfully complete difficult tasks through hardwork. That is how your experiences influence your personality.
These things all influence your personality. In other words, a mix of nature
and the environment most likely shapes your personality.
Let`s read the article and answer the questions below.

Skimming means reading the text quickly to get the main idea.When skimming, read the title, the headings, the first and lastparagraphs, and the first sentence of each paragraph.
1. What is the article about?
It is about how your personality is formed.
Yes, it is possible. Since the environment can shape our personality, we can change ourselves by adjusting our surroundings and experiences.
First, take on challenging tasks to build confidence and courage. Second, stay with positive, kind people, as their good qualities will influence you.
Third, receive proper education and reflect on your daily behaviours to correct bad personal traits.
2. Is it possible to change parts of your personality? If so, how can you do this?

3. Which parts of your personality do you think are formed by nature and which parts by the environment?
Personality like temper and quietness are mostly formed by nature. For example, some people are born easy-going while others are naturally impatient.
Personality such as confidence, politeness and perseverance come from the environment. School education, success in study and communication with friends teach us to be polite and strong-willed.
