Student 1¡GDo you get along with other people everyday ? Do you think there are
                some relationships between personality and social skills ?

Student 2¡GIn my personal opinion, personality and social skills have a great
                relation. Take myself for example. I think my personality really helps a
                lot in my social life. To me, optimism is the quality that I value the
                most. Optimism is the fuel that drives us during difficult times and the
                window that lets us dream of better things.

Student 1¡GYours is really a good opinion. Recently, I did not do very well in one of
                the early tests for my English class. At first, I was very disappointed
                with myself, and I didn¡¦t know what to do.

¡@
¡@ Student 2¡GI suggest that you should pay more attention on your work.
                Concentration is important for study.
¡@
¡@ Student 1¡GAfterwards, I stopped to think about what I did was wrong. Then I
                realized that things could have been much worse. Looking on the
                brighter side of things, I built up confidence to ask my teacher what I
                could do to improve. With her advice, I was able to work on the areas
                that were difficult in the beginning, but turned out easier recently. I
                even hope to get a good grade for the course.
¡@
¡@ Student 2¡GThat sounds good. When you take the final, you will have great
                confidence in your knowledge on the subject and perform in the test
                very well.
¡@
¡@ Student 1¡GThat¡¦s right. Moreover, I also help my friends to look on the brighter
                side of things, tell them some short stories to cheer them up.
¡@
¡@ Student 2¡GIn their minds, you are just like a sunny boy bringing them happiness
                and hope. That¡¦s why they all love to be friends with you.
¡@
¡@ Student 1¡GTo me, that is the magical thing about optimism. ¡@
¡@ Student 2¡GBeing optimism really helps a lot in our social life. Optimism is the
                seed that becomes inspiration and light up us. I believe that for all of
                us who have ever had a difficult time, optimists are always a welcome
                companion.
