How birth order influences your personality

How birth order influences your personality

THE OLDEST CHILD

Firstborn children often have to look after their younger brothers and sisters, so they're usually sensible and responsible as adults.

They also tend to be ambitious, and they make good leaders. On the negative side, oldest children can be insecure and anxious. This is because -1-H. when the second child was born, they lost some of their parents' attention, and maybe they felt rejected

THE MIDDLE CHILD

Middle children are more relaxed than the oldest children, probably because -2- C. their parents were more relaxed themselves by the time the second child arrived. They're usually very sociable - the kind

of people who get on with everybody. They are also usually sensitive to what other people need, because -3-A. they grew up between older and younger brothers and sisters. For the same reason, they're often quite good at sorting out arguments, and they're always sympathetic to the ones on the losing side, or in general, to people who are having problems. On the other hand, middle children can sometimes be unambitious, and they can lack direction in life.

THE YOUNGEST CHILD

Youngest children are often very outgoing and charming. This is the way they try to get the attention of both their parents and their older brothers and sisters. They are often more rebellious, and this is probably because

-4-B. it's easier for them to break the rules - by the time they were born, their parents were more relaxed about discipline. They can also be immature and disorganized, and they often depend too much on other people, because -5-E. they have always been the baby of the family.

THE ONLY CHILD

Only children usually do very well at school, because they have a lot of contact with adults. They get a lot of love and attention from their parents, so they're typically self-confident. They're also independent, as they spend so much time by themselves. And because -6-F. they spend a lot of time with adults, they're often very organized. Only children can sometimes be spoilt, because -7-D. they are given everything they ask for by their parents. They can also be quite selfish and get impatient, especially when things go wrong. This is because -8-G. they've never had to sort out problems with other brothers and sisters.

Insnoop: Watch stories without getting caught by the owner

Social Studies

Instagram stories are viral among social media users. People can choose to share whatever they wish to, and it won’t last forever on their feed, which is also a significant reason why people use Instagram stories so often. Unlike Instagram posts on their profiles, these stories last for 12 hours, and they disappear automatically unless you decide to save the story on your highlights.

How do people know that their stories have been viewed?

When you view someone’s story, it gets recorded, and Instagram shows the list of people who have viewed their stories. Even if you are not following the person, your username will appear on their viewers’ list if they have a public account and you’ve viewed their story.

However, if you are trying to view people’s stories without letting them know that you’ve been watching their stories, some different websites and applications allow you to view their stories without getting caught. One such tool is the Instagram Story Viewer - insnoop.com.

Instagram Story Viewer:

Insnoop.com is a service that comes free of cost for all its users. On this platform, anyone can view the stories of any person freely without requiring any kind of authorization from Instagram. You don’t have to log into your Instagram account, nor do you need to create a new account with your credentials to use this tool.

You will remain 100% anonymous and the person will never even know that you have viewed their stories when you do.

IX. Read the passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.

Along with jogging and swimming, cycling is one of the best all-round forms of exercise. It can help to increase your strength and energy, giving you more efficient muscles and stronger heart. But increasing your strength is not the only advantage of cycling. Because you're not carrying the weight of your body on your feet, it's a good form of exercise for people with painful feet or backs. However, with all forms of exercise it's important to start slowly and build up gently. Doing too much too quickly can damage muscles that aren't used to working. If you have any doubts about taking up cycling for health reasons, talk to your doctor and ask his/her advice.

Ideally you should be cycling at least two or three times a week. For the exercise to be doing you good, you should get a little out of breath. Don't worry that if you begin to lose your breath, it could be dangerous and there must be something wrong with your heart. This is simply not true; shortness of breath shows that the exercise is having the right effect. However, if you find you are in pain then you should stop and take a rest.

A. once a week B. at least two or three times a month
