ndwriting analysis and has published a number of books on the subject. Lucy, welcome.

W: Thank you very much.

M: It is well known that there are many different features of one's handwriting. What are these features exactly？

W: Well, there is the slant of the writing, the pressure and spacing, the capital letters, the margins and the signature. They all play a part in handwriting analysis.

M: Perhaps we can begin by looking at the question of slant.

W: Okay. Well, basically there are three kinds of slant: right, left and upright, though sometimes you may come across a mixture. If your handwriting slants to the right, it shows a friendly and sociable disposition. You enjoy human contact and like to have people around you. However, if your handwriting definitely slants to the left, it shows an introspective nature, often shy and reserved. You are more interested in your own feelings than other people's. If your handwriting is upright, it reveals very good self-control, and your head usually controls your heart.

M: What about size of handwriting？ Does the size of one's handwriting tell us something？

W: Yes. Well, basically very large handwriting belongs to the extroverts and socially-minded people. They enjoy attention and admiration. The small writer, on the other hand, is more concerned with things than people. Small writing is often found in the handwriting of many scientists and intellectual. They generally are not interested in an active social life. Medium handwriting shows a good balance between mind and emotion. Such writers are generally able to communicate and mix without being either reserved or over familiar.

M: So let's put theory to practice. What would you say to this sample of handwriting？

W: Well, this more rounded, medium-sized handwriting shows a lively personality who enjoys companionship. She is talkative, see the small open a's and o's, and has a friendly approach to people. But the wide space between the words indicates that she can keep her personal distance when necessary. Whose handwriting is this？

M: Well, to tell you the truth, that's my wife's handwriting.

e to distort the truth about themselves. Sometimes its just an invented excuse when youre late for something or a pretence that you like someone you dont. These white lies dont usually harm anyone and indeed often help smooth over difficult social situations. They certainly are embarrassing if exposed but, on the whole, theyre easily forgiven. What you describe is a habit of lying that is more serious than this. I suspect that the lies you tell are ways of defending an idea you have of your own worth. People who have doubts about their own self-esteem often worry that others will judge them as harshly as they feel they deserve because of a secret idea that they are pretty worthless. In other words, they create a false picture of themselves, a picture of someone who meets all the expectations they think others have of them. And as you say, that causes problems—since they have to keep living up to that image. At the same time, they have to tell further lies to cover the stories they have already told. According to some authorities, this is particularly among women especially those who have few opportunities to develop an adequate sense of self-worth. I suggest you give yourself one day during which you stick solidly to the truth about yourself. Give yourself a small treat at the end of the day if you have managed to keep it up. Wait a week and then try it again. Once you have achieved three separate lie-free days, see if you can cope with three days running, and then extend it to a whole week. Dont make a promise to yourself that you will never lie again because almost certainly you will—its too much to take on at once. Try to change things little by little, by setting yourself manageable targets. After a while, youll wonder why you ever had the problem at all.

h business, and in the afternoon gentlemen from the neighbourhood called and sometimes stayed to dine with him. When his foot was well enough, he rode out a great deal.

During this time, all my knowledge of him was limited to occasional meetings about the house, when he would sometimes pass me coldly, and sometimes bow and smile. His changes of manner did not offend me, because I saw that I had nothing to do with the cause of them.

One evening, several days later, I was invited to talk to Mr. Rochester after dinner. He was sitting in his armchair, and looked not quite so severe, and much less gloomy. There was a smile on his lips, and his eyes were bright, probably with wine. As I was looking at him, he suddenly turned, and asked me, "do you think I'm handsome, Miss Eyre？"

The answer somehow slipped from my tongue before I realized it: "No, sir. "

"Ah, you really are unusual! You are a quiet, serious little person, but you can be almost rude. "

"Sir, I'm sorry. I should have said that beauty doesn't matter, or something like that."

"No, you shouldn't! I see, you criticize my appearance, and then you stab me in the back! You have honesty and feeling. There are not many girls like you. But perhaps I go too fast. Perhaps you have awful faults to counterbalance your few good points.

I thought to myself that he might have too. He seemed to read my mind, and said quickly, ""Yes, you're right. I have plenty of faults. I went the wrong way when I was twenty-one, and have never found the right path again. I might have been very different. I might have been as good as you, and perhaps wiser. I am not a bad man, take my word for it, but I have done wrong. It wasn't my character, but circumstances which were to blame. Why do I tell you all this？ Because you're the sort of person people tell their problems and secrets to, because you're sympathetic and give them hope. "

It seemed he had quite a lot to talk to me. He didn't seem to like to finish the talk quickly, as was the case for the first time.

"Don't be afraid of me, Miss Eyre. " He continued. "You don't relax or laugh very much, perhaps because of the effect Lowood School has had on you. But in time you will be more natural with me, and laugh, and speak freely. You're like a bird in a cage. When you get out of the cage, you'll fly very high. Good night. "

At the beginning Miss Eyre's impressions of Mr. Rochester were all EXCEPT ______.

0 In your last letter you asked me to tell you why I like playing

00 chess so much. Well, I nevertheless think it is because chess gives

me a feeling of the excitement. I am quite competitive and like

me challenge of playing one-to-one. It gets intense sometimes;

in a game you can get extremely nervous and excited and have all

sorts of emotions. If I have played such a good player, put up

a good fight and lost, then that is too satisfying, but it is always

better than to win! There is also a good social side to chess. I

have made lots of friends at playing in competitions across

Europe. It is really interesting seeing cultures more different from

mine and trying to practise other languages! Now I play most of

weekends and holidays, but I do not know for certain if I will continue

to take part in competitions. During the last couple of years while I

have had more schoolwork, in which makes life more difficult. You

have got to be an extremely ,good player for chess to be so financially

worthwhile. However, I would like recommend it as a hobby to

anyone. If you are interested, you should to join a chess club at once.
