2013公共英语三级情景口语：性格2
A: How do you think people get their personalities?
B: I think it's mainly from the environment a person lives in.
A: Don't you think people get their personalities from their parents?
B: No, but parents control a lot of the environment that kids grow up in,so they certainly influence their kid's personalities a lot.
A: So why do you think many kids have personalities that are so different from their parents.
B: Maybe when they become teenagers, they want to be completely different to their parents.
A: You might be right. I guess most parents want their kids to be like them, but kids today grow up in a different environment. You know, they know much more about the world from the internet, newspapers, and TV.
B: Do you think that teenagers get a lot of their bad behaviour from TV and movies?
A: Maybe some of it. I think a lot of people blame TV and movies when the real problem is that the parents aren’t bringing their child up correctly.
B: Parents have a difficult job. They have to bring up their children and usually have to work too.
A: Yes, that's true. Your son is doing well at school, isn't he?
B: Yes, he is. He's very hardworking when he's at school. Then he comes home from school and does his homework before dinner. After dinner, he goes out with his friends.
A: So, he's not a bookworm? It's good that he has an outgoing personality. Some kids are very quiet and introverted. You wonder how they'll survive in the real world without their parents to support them.
