Objectives: By the end of the lesson you will have
• prepared a list
• matched personality types with pictures
• identified verbs with -ing after think, like, love, prefer
• discussed different types of people
• written a paragraph on your dream character
• identified sentences with negative meanings
A What are the things you would like to have in life to be happy? Make a list. Now compare your list with your partner. Are there things in common?
B Now look at the following pictures. Match each picture with a description.
1 I don't like people who are untidy. They make me feel very uneasy. I prefer wearing clean, ironed clothes. And leading a punctual life is very important for me. People who are not punctual create problems not only for themselves but for others as well. I don't like people who keep me waiting. I think those who are untidy in their lifestyle, are disorganised in their thoughts as well. I don't think such people can be good administrators.
2 My name is Simon Handen. I don't like being too prim and proper. People should-be able to relax if they want to enjoy life. Those who are too worried about looking perfect all the time cannot relax. I like wearing casual dresses and being flexible in However being punctual with appointments is important because it affects others as well.
3 My name is Francis Kohl. I like living a carefree life. 1 think working in offices is too tiring. It's like being in a cage. I prefer doing what I like even though that means not having much money. I think feeling free is important for creativity. I love painting and listening to music. 1 have sold quite a number of my paintings and that has provided me with enough money to survive. I think having a wife and children means too much responsibility. 1 am better off without them.

We use '-ing' with a verb when it is used after think, like, love, prefer. Underline the sentences in the above passage which have this structure.
