[00:22.28]Directions:
[00:25.49]Listen to the passage and note down the four characteristics of the speaker.
[00:33.77]I am a very sensitive person, and that's good to a point
[00:40.79]I feel everyone should be able to feel or understand what others are going through
[00:48.35]But when you hurt, cry, or are unhappy for people you don't know
[00:56.23]or for a movie that is not real, then I think that's a little too sensitive
[01:03.72]That's the way I am.
[01:07.75]I am a very independent person
[01:13.04]I must do things for myself
[01:17.29]I don't like people doing things for me,or helping me,or giving me things
[01:25.10]It's not that I don't appreciate it, because I do
[01:30.72]I just feel that when someone does something for you then you owe them
[01:37.63]and if there is one thing I don't like to feel it's that I owe anyone anything.
[01:45.34]I think I would be a good friend
[01:50.05]I would do almost anything for someone I like, to share or give anything I have
[01:57.40]I'm very caring and understanding
[02:02.22]People trust me with their secrets,
[02:07.19]and they're right for doing so because I never tell anything that is told to me
[02:13.96]I'm always there to help in any way that I can
[02:19.46]All you have to do is ask.
[02:23.82]I have a love for life and people that make me feel good
[02:30.66]I find fun in almost everything I do(Except housework
[02:36.67]I love to watch people, talk to them, and be around them
[02:43.37]It makes no difference whether I agree or disagree with what they feel
[02:50.89]or how they live or what they look like,or what age they are
[02:56.94]I just love learning and being aware of everything and everyone around me.

[04:52.72]but bow to my parents' Korean friends when they visited our home.
