At school today, we had to do a personality test on an app on the computer. Then the app suggested careers for us.

My problem is that I’m very ¹ sociable / shy. It’s difficult for me to talk to other people, especially in big groups. I get
² nervous / serious in situations like that. My heart starts going really fast and I get very hot. I would like to be more
³ generous / confident, but I’m not.

I have some good qualities, though. I’m ⁴ honest / reliable. I’m never late and I always do my work on time. In fact, I’m
very ⁵ hard-working / relaxed. In my part-time job as a shop assistant, I often stay late and help. I’m also good with
children because I’m ⁶ dangerous / patient with them when they can’t do something. And when they’re bad or noisy, I
stay ⁷calm / unkind. I don’t get angry.

The computer’s first job for me was a children’s librarian. I love books, so that idea made me feel very ⁸ cheerful /
miserable. The other jobs it suggested were great too. Not bad for an app!

These days many of us spend our ¹ profession life sitting down in front of a computer. We become unfit and then
we think we need to join a gym to 2 strength our bodies or to lose weight. But about 80% of people who are
paying to go to a gym, never go! That means we need to find an alternative to the gym.

The best way to improve your ³ fit is to find an activity that you enjoy and do it regularly. Some people
like doing exciting and ⁴ danger activities like snowboarding. Other people love the ⁵ free of
outdoor activities like climbing, cycling or just walking under the blue sky. Water sports like ⁶ div or surfing
are great for people who love the ocean. ⁷Compet team sports are also very popular – probably
because when you play football or volleyball, you think more about winning than how fast your heart is going.
I ⁸strong recommend that you think about what you love. Find a way to get fit that you enjoy!

I’ve just made a 1reception / reservation for my stay in Florida next year. I planned on staying in a 2holiday home / hotel,
but the houses I liked were too expensive. Instead, I’m staying in my favourite kind of accommodation, a small 3cabin /
campsite on the beach with wooden walls and steps down to the sea. There’s no kitchen – just a simple bedroom and
bathroom, but I love a place that’s really close to nature. My next choice would have been a 4campsite / hostel. They
are great, but they can be very noisy because tents don’t have walls.

When I go on holiday, I don’t care about having things like a waterfall shower or a huge bed like you get in an
expensive 5hostel / hotel. Last year, my sister and I stayed in one in New York. We had a 6double room / reception on
the 11th floor. I hated calling 7reception / reservation for room service, though I expect some people love that! I don’t
