Now let’s consider what makes us like an acquaintance. What makes us like someone so much that he or she becomes a friend? Psychologists say that if you want to make friends, you must think about yourself. What I’m saying is … you must make people like you. It is possible to change your behaviour or your attitude to become more likeable. But what should you change? Again, psychology has the answer. Ask yourself what you like about other people. Ask yourself what you dislike. Then ask yourself if you would like to be your friend.
So, to sum up … firstly, we must like acquaintances for them to become friends. We’ve heard that likeable people make friends easily. So the point is, you must make yourself likeable. Finally, as we have seen, psychologists say there are certain characteristics that make people likeable.
OK. Let’s finish with a bit of fun! Are you a likeable person? I’ve prepared a handout. Um, please take one and pass the rest on. There we are. Now, work through the statements on the handout and find out whether you are likeable. Psychologists suggest that likeable people can answer yes – honestly – to most or all of the statements. Check your answers with someone who knows you well.

Lecturer 1: We’ve heard a lot of information about psychology and sociology in today’s lecture. I’ve mentioned some of the definitions of the fields of study, and I’ve pointed out some areas where the two disciplines overlap. But the key difference is, psychology is about the individual and sociology is about groups.
Lecturer 2: Lecturer 3: Lecturer 4: Lecturer 5:
So to sum up. Most people want to have friends. Life is better with friends. It is more fun. But research suggests that friends are not just for fun. They are very important in everyday life. As we have heard today, Ueno conducted research into this in 2004. The point is … people with friends are more healthy, in their bodies and in their minds.
There are many kinds of language test. There are true/false tests, multiple-choice tests, gap fills. They all give the students prompts. The most important thing is, give a prompt in a language test. Unfortunately, a lot of teachers don’t really think about this when they write tests.
You meet a lot of new words in every lesson. You hear new words from the teacher, and maybe from other students. You read new words in texts and in exercises. But the thing to remember is, you will forget all of them if you don’t rehearse them. It’s nothing to do with intelligence, or how many hours you study. It’s just the way that the brain works.
The human brain receives information all the time from the outside world. The information comes through the eyes, through the ears, through the nose. It goes into the sensory memory. Most of it, 99.9 per cent of it probably, goes straight out of sensory memory within three seconds. The point is … we must pay attention to the information. Then we move it into short-term memory.
