【一起闲话英语】最差的品质特点-What is your worst quality?

Adrienne, The United States

speaker What are my worst qualities? Well, let's just stick with one for now cause the list could be very long if we did all of my worst qualities. I think one of my worst qualities is that often times I can be very stubborn¹, especially when I think I'm right, even when I'm not, so stubbornness² definitely is one of my worst qualities.

 

Peter, Sweden

speaker My worst quality would be that I don't have any patience at all. It doesn't matter what I'm doing. If I'm studying I want to quit it right away even before I start studying and also since I'm a musician I make music and when I make music I tend to create some kind of song and then right away I go to the next one before I even finish the last one.

Lisa, Canada

speaker What are my worst qualities? That's a pretty easy answer. My worst, absolute worst quality is procrastinating³. I am a terrible procrastinator⁴. I will wait to pack for a big vacation on the day of the trip, on the day that I leave. I remember is school, I used to wait to finish twenty page papers. I used to start twenty page papers two days before they were due. I am a terrible procrastinator.

 

Phil, England

speaker OK, what's my worst quality? My worst quality has to be my patience. Sometimes when I walking down the street, I get very frustrated⁵ by people walking slowly in front of me, or people riding their bicycles and sometimes they nearly hit me on street and I get very angry for no real reason so I think sometimes I'm very impatient.

 

Simone, Sweden

speaker What's my worst quality? I think it's I'm very messy. When I... like in my room for example, if I'm using something, I'm just leaving it there as it builds mountains of stuff everywhere. That's my worst quality. I never finish anything.

 

Chip, The United States

speaker What are my worst qualities? Well, sometimes I say I want to do a big project but then I realize, "Oh, wait a minute! You know what, I probably shouldn't have said anything because now everyone expects me to do it, and I don't have any choice." Probably I should just do it and then talk about it later, you know I have a bad habit of saying, "Gee⁶, I think it will be a good idea if I did ABC" but then I think, "Oh, man, you know what, I don't think I'll be able to do that, at least now when I say I will, so it's a bad habit. I should just keep quiet and do it and then have everyone else talk about it.
