Then they have to talk in pairs and decide whether they consider themselves as pessimistic person or an optimistic person.
The class will be divided into two groups A & B. They will read about two people who answer the question "what are you optimistic about?". Then in their group they are going to check their answers.
They will change their partners and they will tell each other about the person they read about.
