Question 17:

a. The term "personal development" is often connected with activities like dieting or exercise, or perhaps learning a new computer program.

b. Other skills not to be neglected include self-control, time management and finding a balanced life.

c. The important thing is to take a "holistic approach" to personal development, meaning you should aim to develop yourself as a whole person rather than focusing on one aspect of yourself at the expense of others.

d. But while these things are undoubtedly important, there are many other worthwhile skills that are often overlooked.

e. Academic or cognitive skills such as critical thinking, memorization and creativity are important, as are social and emotional skills like friendliness, positive thinking and self-esteem.
