Dear all,
Welcome to a new semester... in this blog we'll share ideas and will work on writing skills using Passages 1 as a reference for topics and skills, so let's get started.
Best and Worst quality
Write a paragraph describing your best quality and one describing your worst quality. Start your paragraph with a topic sentence (the one that includes the main idea of the paragraph), and the rest of the sentences should be about the same quality, giving an example to illustrate it and add any relevant information. Here are some examples of people talking about their best and worst qualities, these audios can give you an idea to start writing. If you need to, click on "transcript" to read what they say... if you discover any new vocabulary, you know what to do!
Some extra vocabulary can be found in this website.
See ya!

I think that my most positive quality is that I´m organized.I like planning all the activities(homeworks, classes, etc.) that I have to do it in the day.When my room is being messy. I do an exhausted accomodate, you know, put board games on desktop, keep t-shirts in the drawers, etc. Be organized is a good way to remember where I leave anything in a specific location and help someone to found something that believes who lost it.
My most negative quality is that I´m impatient.I can´t stand hearing a kid when cries and people talking loud. I think that my impatience is an obstacle in my life.When I have to do something that is difficult for me, for example, studyng for a subject, if I don´t understand in the first attempt, I begin to make despair and I stop trying.
I think my most positive quality is that I’m determined. When I set out to do something, I have no excuse to do it, I just do it and enjoy doing it. For example, last semester I set out “not to fail” so for that time I did my homework, before classes I read the notes, studied and practice before the exams and when the classes over I didn’t fail.
Well, I think my most negative quality is that I’m very proud. I’m the kind of person who requiring much effort to admit a mistake or the truth. For example, I had a problem with my sister because I said something wrong and we stared to argue, and I knew that she had the reason but I wanted to admit that, but finally I had to admit my mistake.
I think my best quality is that I never give up. I mean when I have a goal I continue working until I get it. For example at school, when I have a homework, it doesn't matter which difficult is, I try to do my best and I focus in finish it.
On the other hand, my worst quality could be that I always do everything for the last moment. For example the last semester I had to stuy all de day , sometimes even all the night before an exam, because I hadn't read during the semester, that's way I used to arrive tired to the exams and I din't have a good performance.
Hello teacher
My best quality is that i have a very cold head, i never take decisions by an impulse this quality help me to take the better decisions in my life and has served to become a better person and be more mature.
And....my worst quality is that im a very lazy person, if i dont have one important reason to make the things i dont make anything, for example my friends in facec know that sometimes i prefer go to play xbox that i take one class of ambiente y sustentabilidad
I think my best attribute might be the perseverance, because in this economy need a lot of quality, also may be making many friends, but could not say which is best.
I think my worst quality is that I get angry very easily, I'm not unpunctual pasient with people or with people who are slow to resolve any problem.
I think my most positive quality is that I’m responsible, that quality is so helpful mainly at school and for life too, I guess that I learn it of my parents. When I was a child they always gave me like a little “speech” about my responsibilities that I had, so I think that all those “speeches” work it, `cause I don`t need it anymore. For example at school if a teacher give me a homework, or I have to study, I just do it every time and it’s difficult that I forget something like that; I think that is something that will be a part of me forever , and I like it!
My most negative quality is that I’m a little bossy and stubborn, I like things always were made my way, so when somebody are not agree I try to change them opinion, sometimes it`s a little difficult the team work, not yet here (economy), but actually because I will be working that way in a few years I need to try to control myself; I’m trying to change it, but I think it will be difficult, but not impossible.
My most positive quality is that I'm very calm and responsible even if I don't have enough time to do all the things that I want to do in the week.
If I have some stuff to read/study or homework to do I have to plan my time really good, I need to check if that day is free of work, if I don't have to go to the civil court, if I don't seen my family or my girl lately, if I have to go with my father to negotiate the money that he gives me for the week ... and stuff like that.
My most negative quality is that I'm reserved. I don't talk too much when I have no confidence or proximity with people but I really want to! Although sometimes I talk to few people because I'm thinking about things I'll do in the day. However, the people who know me well have other concept of me; they don’t think that I’m a reserved person. Perhaps the only thing that I need is to lose the shyness to talk with more people and that's it.
I think the most positive quality is that I´m very patient. I´m the kind of person who enjoys being with the kids. For example; I have a little sister, I love playing to the hide and seek or other games with her, also I enjoy teaching the math.
The most negative quality is that I´m extremely unpunctual. I always avoid arriving too late but this is very difficult for me, because my house is so far about the places where I go. Actually, the last week I arrived on time only one day of five days of the class I think that is a serious problem.I hope that I can change this negative quality.
I think my best positive quality is that I´m genuine and heartfelt because I always tell the true to people. I have to say that sometimes is difficult to tell the true because you can hurt to the persons like one time I told to my sister that I think about her (those weren´t good qualities about her) and she told me what I had told her wasn´t true, she got angry and didn´t told me for a week. At the end I think my sister understood that my idea never was to injure her. Whatever, I think that always is better to let know the true.
The worst quality I have is that I’m temperamental and moody. I know this quality is very bad for me and people around of me and so I´m changing. Before I got angry easily, for example, when I was stressed with the most minimum thing people told me I got annoyed. Now, I try to have control and be more relaxed, you know, I count until ten. I think It´s having effect because my family told me I´m less explosive and I feel better with myself.
I think that my best quality is that I am generous and kindly. I use to share my tools with my school friends. For example sometimes they borrow me a eraser and I don´t have other, so I cut it. But if I don´t have something, I suggest to this people who could have it. One day, I lend my calculator to a girl because she had a exam, but the exam was a little long and I wait her because I needed my calculator on weekend, so I didn´t have any problem with her.
My worst quality is that I am very shy. I don´t like to talk in front of people. I prefer to be brief. For example when I have to do a presentation in front of my classmate, I am very nervious because I think that my classmates are made fun of me. I should be more outgoing.
I think my best quality is loyalty. I am loyal to my friends, my family, my soccer team but especially with my ideals. I don`t like to fail people who trust me.
one of my worst faults is that I am too impatient. I do hate waiting. I hate lining up for anything and I hate lateness because I despair easily
I think that my worst quality is that I´m sarcastic and stubborn , I really need to change when i´m sarcastic, ´cause the poeple engry whit me, but they don´t say me ; i know this things for other people.
My best quality is the perceverant. I´m really perceverant whit everything,whit the school,If I don´t understan something I never give up , In the sports it´s the same history.
