PART 3 - Character and Behaviour
Talking Point HOMEWORK

How do different nationalities behave? At least 10 nationalities - If possible make in Powerpoint

Remember, when we talk about people’s ‘general behaviour’, we say ‘They are ...’, for example:

Frenches dont like take a shower Japaneses are very higyenic When we needed help at honeymoon, the spanishes were very rude Americans feel the best of the world, they are very arrogant (Brazilians love a lot samba and caipirinha Brazilians love samba and caipirinha very much) Argentineans think the soccer is amazing Chileans are all equals Caribbeans love to swim in the sea Londoners seem to me very cheerful Dutchmen like to walk on the bicicle

Plurals 2

Plurals

To believe (verb) = acreditar

Lives (noun) = vidas

To live (verb) = morar

Leaves (noun) = folhas

To leave (verb) = sair

Italians are usually cheerful and friendly.

Describing Behaviour

Look at what John said below. Describe how he is behaving using the present continuous of ‘be’ + adjectives from this lesson.

6. "Thank you very much for your help."

John is being generous John is being friendly

5. "I look older, but I’m only 28 years old."

John is being cheerful John is being friendly

4. "I’m American."

John is being arrogant John is selfish

3. "I hate this job. I do the same thing every day. I don’t want to go back to work."

John is being boring John is upset John is being pessimist John is frustrated

2. "I can’t help you. I’m not from France. Please go away!"

John is being stupid and rude

1. "I learned French in a week. I’m so wonderful."

John is behaving in a arrogant way rigth now

John is being arrogant

Normally, we don’t use the present continuous of the verb ‘be’. However, when we talk about somebody’s behavior, we can use the present continuous of ‘be’. The meaning is:

John is behaving in a stupid way right now. (NOT: John is generally stupid.)

Some of the adjectives in this lesson can also describe a person’s behavior. Study the sentence below about John, a 40-year-old American tourist in Paris.

John is being stupid.
