Lesson 2   Embracing Our Differences

 

 

Opposite Personalities, Great Partnerships

Everybody is unique. (That is/However), there have been many attempts to categorize people’s personalities. One of the most common methods (divide/divides) people into two types, introverts and extroverts. According to this division, introverts tend (to draw/to be drawn) to the internal world of thoughts and feelings, (however/while) extroverts are (drawing/drawn) to the external world of people and activities. Introverts recharge their batteries by spending some time (alone/lonely); extroverts need to recharge when they do not socialize enough.

 

Extroverts are good at performing tasks under pressure and (cope/coping) with multiple jobs at once. Introverts, (beses/on the other hand), like to focus on one task at a time and can concentrate very well. Extroverts tend to do assignments quickly. They make fast decisions and are (comfortable/comfortably) with taking risks. Introverts often work more slowly and deliberately. They think (after/before) they act, give up (more/less) easily, and work more accurately.

 

(Basing/Based) on all this information, you might think that introverts and extroverts do not get along. (However/In the mean time), they actually work well together (Because of/because) their personalities (complement/compliment) each other. Sometimes they can even accomplish great things when they (collaborate/corroborate). Let’s take a look at some famous examples!

 

 

Case One: Working Together for Civil Rights

On December 1, 1955, in the American city of Montgomery, Alabama, a black woman named Rosa Parks got on a bus. At that time in Montgomery, buses were divided into two zones: one for black people and _________ for white people. She took a seat in the black zone and watched (quiet/quietly) as more and more passengers got on the bus. Soon, all the seats in the white zone were (taking/taken). Then the driver ordered her (give/to give) her seat to a white passenger. Rosa Parks was a shy, mild-mannered introvert. She avoided (standing/to stand) out in public or (drawing/to draw) attention to (her/herself). (However/Hence), she had the courage to resist injustice, so she answered (calm/calmly) with a single word — “No.” The furious driver called the police, and she was arrested.

 

Parks’s (calm/calmly) response to the situation (impressed/was impressed) many people. Soon after, her (quiet/quite) (insistence/resistance) came together with the inspirational speechmaking of Martin Luther King Jr. When 5,000 people (assembled/resembled) at a rally to support Parks’s act of courage, King made a speech to the crowd. He was an extrovert — assertive, sociable, and good at (motivating/motivated) people. “There comes a time (X/which) people get tired of (trampling/being trampled),” he told them. “There (come/comes) a time (that/when) people get tired of (pushing/being pushed) out of the sunlight.” King was an (amazing/amazed) speaker, and his words (filled/filled with) the people with pride and hope. He then praised Parks’s bravery and hugged her. She stood silently. Her (mere/merely) presence was enough to (strength/strengthen) the crowd.

 

Rosa Parks’s act and Martin Luther King Jr.’s speech (inspiring/inspired) Montgomery’s black community (boycott/to boycott) the buses, a crucial turning point in the struggle for civil rights. The boycott lasted for 381 days. It was a difficult time for everyone, but eventually the buses (integrated/were integrated). Think about (what/how) the partnership of these two people accomplished this. A powerful speaker (refusing/refused) to give up his seat on a bus (would not had/would not have had) the same effect. (Similarly/Moreover), Rosa Parks (could not excite/could not have excited) the crowd at the rally with her words. When their introverted and extroverted traits (combined/were combined), however, his charisma attracted attention to her quiet bravery. In the end, this partnership had a (huge/hugely) impact on society.

 

 

Case Two: A Business Partnership

On June 29, 1975, Steve Wozniak tapped a few keys on his keyboard, and letters appeared on a screen. He had just created a personal computer that allowed people (typing/to type) on a keyboard and (see/saw) the results on a monitor simultaneously. At the sight of the brilliant (device/devise), Steve Jobs suggested to Wozniak that they (start/would start) a business.

 

Wozniak was a great inventor. When he partnered with Jobs, however, he was able to do (much/even) more. In fact, the two men formed one of the most famous (partnership/partnerships) of the digital era. Wozniak would come up with a clever engineering idea, and Jobs would find a way to polish, package, and (sell/sold) it.

The two men had opposite personalities. Wozniak hated small talk and often worked alone. It was these features of his introverted personality that enabled him (focusing/to focus) on inventing things. Jobs, on the other hand, had outstanding social skills. According to Wozniak, he was good at communicating with people. Wozniak was a shy inventor, (while/whereas) Jobs was a daring entrepreneur, but they were (likely/alike) (that/in that) (nor/neither) (was/were) afraid to face challenges (X/that) seemed impossible.

 

So which personality type is better? Obviously, the answer is (either/neither). The world needs both introverts (and/or) extroverts, and they often make a (terrific/terrible) team. We simply need to respect different personalities ______________ our own. Then, when we have a chance to work together, we might be able to do great things!
