I bought my friend a really nice, personal gift for her birthday.
thoughtful
I know I haven’t really prepared the presentation, but I know I’ll do well.
optimistic
I want to own a restaurant even though I have no experience in the industry.
unrealistic
I love singing, but I’m probably not good enough to make a career out of it.
realistic
I can’t decide where to go on holiday… hiking in the Himalayas, or scuba diving in Australia?
adventurous
I tend not to take risks, just in case something goes wrong.
cautious
There are only two results in life – success and failure. Failure is not an option for me!
ambitious
When I’m finished drinking my Coca Cola I just throw the can on the floor. Someone else will pick it up.
thoughtless
My son got a 9 in his exam, but I think he can always do better.
critical
My friends were annoyed with me yesterday because I didn’t show up at the restaurant on time, and we lost our reservation.
unreliable
Everything I need to do is on my to-do list, and I sort all my books alphabetically.
well-organised
I was supposed to be looking after my friend’s baby but really needed a cigarette, so I left her alone for 20 minutes. Is there anything wrong with that?
irresponsible
My best friend lost his job yesterday so I bought him dinner and gave him a shoulder to cry on.
sympathetic
My hairdresser cancelled my appointment because her dog just died – what kind of excuse is that?!
unsympathetic
I have to win. I have to beat everybody!
competitive
