    COMPREHENSION

    Read the magazine article about how your position in the family affects your

    personality.

    Scientists and psychologists agree that although many factors contribute to

    forming your personality, for example, your sex, class, culture, or lifestyle, one ofthe most important is your position in the family. So how have you been affected?

    Are you a first child, a middle child, the youngest, or an only child?

    First-bom children. If you are a firstborn child, you are probably

    self-confident and a good leader - you came first after all. You may also

    be bossy and even aggressive if you don't get

    what you want. You are ambitious, and good at

    communicating, because you learned to speak from your

    parents, not from brothers and sisters. On the other hand, if you are the

    oldest and so you have to be the most responsible, and this can makeyou the kind of person who worries a lot.

    Middle children are usually independent and competitive. You

    had to fight with your brothers and sisters to get what you wanted. You

    are also co-operative as you always had to negotiate with either your

    older or your younger brothers and sisters. You are sociable, as you

    always had someone to play with. On the other hand, you may be

    jealous and insecure or moody if you felt that your parents preferred your

    older brother or sister.

    Youngest children are often very charming. You learned very quickly that you could get

    exactly what you want by being charming - and this can make you manipulative. You are usually

    affectionate and relaxed because when you arrived your parents were more relaxed themselves.

    But you are often not very independent as you always had so many people to help Vou. This makesit hard for you to take decisions. And you may be lazy, because your parents probably pushed you

    less and were less strict with you than with your older brothers and sisters.

    Only childrenare often quite selfish. You had the wonderful luxury of not having to share

    your parents' attention with anybody else. In fact, you received so much attention as a child that

    you find it difficult to be interested in other people. On the other hand, you are usually organized

    and responsible, and often imaginative. But you may find it difficult to communicate with others,

    and are very 55 sensitive to criticism.Article taken from English File Intermediate
