Read the text below. Match choices (A – H) to (1 – 5). There are three choices you do not need to use.

When it comes to telling the world how wonderful you are, there’s a fine line between having other people think, ‘Wow! She’s got so much more about her than I thought’ and ‘Blimey! I wish she’d shut up about herself’. It’s easy enough to let everyone around you know you’re something special – the trick is doing it without trying too hard or looking like an attention seeker. So here’s how to get the attention you deserve without screaming, ‘Look at me!’

1 _                                      [A) We are talented, B) Accept yourself for what you are, C) Don't pretend you know everything, D) Idle talk is a bad habit, E) Try to act in good faith, F) Don't talk behind people's back, G) Keep your voice down, H) Be original] _______________________

Being loud isn’t a good way to get noticed. Quietness and a smile can be more interesting than someone who blurts everything out constantly. Be cool instead, and show people what you’re really about, rather than shouting it in their faces.

2 _______________________

It may be tempting to try to bluff your way through a conversation. But if you don’t know much about the subject being discussed, you’ll get more kudos if you shut up and listen. You can’t lose – get your facts right and people will respect your wisdom, or stay quiet if you’re unsure and people will appreciate your honesty.

3 ________________________

Toning down your gossip factor will show there’s much more to you than people may think. Your mates will trust you and your reputation will sky-rocket. Gossiping gives negative vibes to other people.

4 ______________________

Choose things to do that you love doing and not because everyone else is doing them. If you are passionate about something and enjoying it, you’ll have more energy and people will be attracted to you – and you might even be the person who starts a new trend.

5 _____________________

We may not be superhuman beings, but remember, each and every one of us has something going on that’s worth shouting about. It’s a fact – everyone is an individual and that’s what makes you who you are. Be proud of why you’re different. If you love who you are, people are more likely to love you too.
