[speaker001:] How do you think people get their personalities?
[speaker002:] I think it 's mainly from the environment a person lives in.
[speaker001:] Don 't you think people get their personalities from their parents?
[speaker002:] No, but parents control a lot of the environment that kids grow up in, so they certainly influence their kids 'personalities a lot.
[speaker001:] So why do you think many kids have personalities that are so different from their parents.
[speaker002:] Maybe when they become teenagers, they want to be completely different to their parents.
[speaker001:] You might be right. I guess most parents want their kids to be like them, but kids today grow up in a different environment. You know, they know much more about the world from the internet, newspapers, and tv.
[speaker002:] Do you think that teenagers get a lot of their bad behaviour from tv and movies?
[speaker001:] Maybe some of it. I think a lot of people blame TV and movies when the real problem is that the parents aren 't bringing their child up correctly.
[speaker002:] Parents have a difficult job. They have to bring up their children and usually have to work too.
[speaker001:] Yes, that 's true. Your son is doing well at school, isn 't he?
[speaker002:] Yes, he is. He 's very hardworking when he 's at school. Then he comes home from school and does homework before dinner. After dinner, he goes out with his friends.
[speaker001:] So, he 's not a bookworm? It 's good that he has an outgoing personality. Some kids are very quiet and introverted. You wonder they 'll survive in the real world without their parents to support them.
