Good evening José,

How many of these characteristics do you possess?

Disorganised, sensitive and trustworthy are the three I would choose to describe myself. (aristocratic isn't on the list)


selfish - egoista Hoggish exists but I think it is uncommon as an adjective. To hog something = to take or use more than your share of something. A roadhog is somebody who thinks that they own the road.

a magician = un mago / charming - encantador

confident (sure of your abilities) - seguro

excitable (gets excited easily) - excitable

2.She's very sensible but her older brother is a silly boy.
5.In this job we need someone who is entirely honest and straightforward /trustworthy.
6.I find him very selfish / annoying. He's always coming into my office to talk about something unimportant. He never seems to mind if I am busy.
7.I really admire Kate. She manages to stay friendly / cheerful despite all her problems.
8.Paul won't be worried about the interview at all. He's a very confident young man.
