READING- Alpha 4 (3)

Dear students of Alpha 4,

First of all, I want to inform you about your assignment from the green book (longman).You are responsible for doing the exercises on the pages 158-160.

Next, this is our THIRD WEEK, and we have read a text about birth order. What do you think about it? Is there any relationship between personality and birth order? Are the firstborns more intelligent than the others? What are the differences between the childeren from a small family and the ones from big families?

All the best…
Enjoy your holiday…

  1. In my opinion, there is not relationship between personality and birth order. First of all, I don’t think that the effect of birth order personality. However, I think, first-born children more intelligent than others. There is a connection between children numbers in a family. For example, I have an elder sister, and she is more intelligent than I;( , but I think, it is a effect in the small family, because we haven’t big families. As a result, generally, children from small families are more intelligent than children from large families..

  2. It does not connect that birth-order with intelligence.According to researchers,that assumption simply is incorrect.There is no evidence for a firstborn personality.A lot of parents who believe that firstborns are deserving may treat differently.On the other hand,small families think that firstborns are be more cleverly and succeed in school.On found that firstborn feels high self esteem if his or her sibling was less than two years younger.In briefly,I think that beliefs are not true and unlogical.

  4. In my opinion birth order is really important thing because it changes the way of the chıldren charecter. and there are many diffrences between big and small families.For example in big families parents attention devided too many children.But in the samll families there isn't a problem like that.In small families the parents can care children too much.but also it isn't a good thing always because it maybe makes the child sassy.I'm in a small family and ı'm happy to be in a small familiy just way i am.

  5. The text of this week was the birth order. It is a realy controversial issue that everybody has a different opinion about it. Before I read the text, I had believed that the birth order affects children behaviors, intelligenge, and personality, but now I become confused. When family size can affect the personality, how does not birth order affect? It is the same thing actually. If family size affects the personality, it means that the birth order is important because There are older one,and younger one in family size like the author said.It was interesting and made me think. To sum up, there is some similarities between two texts. Both of them include having children. I enjoyed while I was reading the second text.

  6. We read a text about birth order. I think, it’s unnnecessary. All of kids are same in order to parents. I dislike firstborns more intellegent than others idea because it’s just ridiculous. In my opinion it’s look like our arrenged marries anyway i can say first child more and more cheerful especially their charasteristic improve with interest. They work hard trying to the boss.

  7. We read a text abouth birth-order this week.I think It is not relationship that firstborn children are more intelligence than secondborn children.Because there is not evidence by researchers abouth this subject.In my opinion,small families shows interest in firstborn child,but future If these families have secondborn child,that time they can influence to secondborn child.Because Borning child is in need of assistance every time.In brief,Birth-order of myth is incorrect and unnecessary thing.

  8. We have read a text about birth order.My opinion of this reading text is unnecessary.I think the firstborns aren't more intelligent than the others. There isn’t any between personality and birth order. But this reading text has opposite of in my opinion. Also this reading text isn’t persuasive. Therefore I dislike this reading text. The author managed to keep me interested in the text because the reading text is paragraph by paragraph.

    1. My opinion of this reading text is good. The reading text was written as four part that provides understandable but If I were the author , I wouldn't add fourth part because The fourth part was some unrelated and my favorite part is third because this part was result of reading text and I think, there is telationship between personality and birth order but there are many effect in occur of personality. Also Judith Blake's research already explained it. Also I think there are many differences between the childeren from a small family and the ones from big families...
