Dear all:
We came to this lab around a month ago. It is a real pitty we could not make progress here this semester, but the demonstrations and strikes have made it difficult. I do hope you have studied on your own and realized that all these social movements have a cost.
Today I'd like you to do something fun while practicing your English. Because we are talking about happiness, personality cannot be left out. Being realistic, our personality plays a major role on how happy we are and how we see things.
The first task will be to have a read at this article from 2008.

Secondly, please look for any other interesting articles that relate personality and happiness or something related. POST the link on your blog or on the comment space below.
I'd like you to take the following quiz individually. Please open wordreference to check vocabulary. This is a pretty colloquial site.
Please make sure you take notes of the things you find accurate or inaccurate.

We will comment later.
cheers.
