"Three minutes is enough time to talk to someone," says Adele Testani, who runs a speed dating company, "because you can get an idea of what a person is like in that time, and you can eliminate them if you see right away that they're not your type."

It is common for your a Look at the signatures. Can you signature to change during your life, as your signature reflects how you evolve as a person. It is also common identify any of the people? to have several signatures, for example, a more formal signature (first and last name) when you sign a credit card or passport and an informal signature (just your first name) when you sign a birthday card. Your formal signature A signature usually contains either a first name and a last name, or initials and a last name, or, less frequently, a first name and initials. Your first name represents your private or family self, and your last name represents your public self —how you are socially and at work. If your first name is more prominent in your signature, this implies that you have positive feelings about your childhood and that your “private” self is more important to you than your “public” self. If your last name is more prominent, this means that your “public” self is more important to you. The more space there is between your first and last name, the more you wish to keep your public and private self separate. If you use only initials, either for your first or last name in your signature, this means that you are more secretivc about this part of your personality (your private or public persona). Legibility A legible signature, with names that can he clearly read, implies that you are a person with clear ideas and objectives. The more illegible your signature is, the less assertive you are as a person, and the more you tend to avoid conflict. Angle Most signatures are horizontal, rising, or descending. A rising signature means that you are the kind of person who, when faced with problems, will work to overcome them. Usually optimistic, you are in control and ambitious. A descending signature means that you have a tendency to get depressed and give up when faced with problems and lack self-confidence. Some people’s signatures go through a temporary phase when they go down, which shows that they are going through a hard time or an illness. A horizontal signature suggests an emotionally stable person who is well-balanced and generally satisfied with the way their life is going. Size If the letters in your signature are bigger than the letters in the rest of the text you have written, that means that you arc self-confident and have a high opinion of yourself Some people actually sign in capital letters, which suggests they are arrogant rather than self-confident. People whose signature is smaller than the rest of the text may be insecure and have low self-esteem. Read the first paragraph of an extract from a book about graphology. On a piece of paper, write the sentence I look forward to hearing from you, and then sign your name under the sentence. Now read the rest o f the extract and answer the questions. According to the extract, which of the people A -F...? 1 has / had no separation between their public and 4 is / was probably rather arrogant private self, and is / was not very assertive 5 keeps / kept their public and private life separate, is / was 2 is / was more identified with their public self, ambitious, and has / had positive feelings about their optimistic, and ambitious childhood 3 is / was more identified with their private self, 6 is / was secretive about their private life, and keeps / kept it and without much self-confidence very separate from their public life Try to guess the m eaning of the highlighted words and phrases from the context. Check with your dictionary or the teacher. Now look at your p artners piece of paper with his / her signature, and explain what it means. Did you agree with your partner’s interpretation? Do you think graphology is a serious science?

Peter put all the torn wrapping paper in the wagon, and Little Brother'" took it out again and threw it on the floor. Peter started to read a talking book, and Little Brother™ came and turned the pages too fast for the book to keep up. But then, while Mommy went to the kitchen to cook breakfast, Peter tried to show Little Brother™ how to build a very tall tower out of blocks. Little Brother™ wasn't interested in seeing a really tall tower. Every time Peter had a few blocks stacked up, Little Brother™ swatted the tower with his hand and laughed. Peter laughed, too, for the first time, and the second. But then he said, "Now watch this time. I'm going to make it really big." But Little Brother™ didn't watch. The tower was only a few blocks tall when he knocked it down. "No!" Peter said. He grabbed hold of Little Brother,M's arm. "Don't!" Little Brother's face wrinkled. He was getting ready to cry. Peter looked toward the kitchen and let go. "Don't cry," he said. "Look, I'm building another one! Watch me build it!" Little Brother™ watched. Then he knocked the tower down. Peter had an idea. 2.13 7 What funny things did Little Brother™ do at first? 8 What do you think “grabbed hold o f” means? 9 What do you think Peters idea was?

She picked up Little Brother™, put him on her lap, and pressed the button to turn him back on. As soon as he was on, Little Brother™ started to scream. His face turned red. "I didn't mean to!" 2.15 Listen to the end of the story. In pairs, "Peter, I told you! He's not like your other toys. When you turn him off, he can’t move, but he can still see and hear.
