Where marks are usually lost
re·ju·ve·NA·tion is stressed on the fourth syllable and per·son·AL·i·ty on the third—say both without slowing down. Keep the -s on types, grounds, excursions, friends, extroverts, introverts. Don't stall before in·ter·AC·tion.
General tip: introvert/extrovert appear four times; make the first syllables clearly different (in- vs ex-) so the contrast is audible.
What it means: 中文 · हिन्दी · नेपाली · Tiếng Việt
中文: 虽然内向型和外向型人格在许多方面彼此不同，但两者最主要的区别在于他们恢复精力的来源。对外向者来说，这可能意味着与亲友互动或外出游玩；而对内向者来说，这可能意味着读一本书或听听音乐。
हिन्दी: हालाँकि अंतर्मुखी और बहिर्मुखी व्यक्तित्व प्रकार कई आधारों पर एक-दूसरे से भिन्न होते हैं, दोनों के बीच मुख्य अंतर उनकी ऊर्जा पुनः प्राप्त करने के स्रोत का है। बहिर्मुखी लोगों के लिए इसका अर्थ मित्रों और परिवार के साथ मेलजोल या सैर हो सकता है, जबकि अंतर्मुखी लोगों के लिए इसका अर्थ कोई किताब पढ़ना या संगीत सुनना हो सकता है।
नेपाली: अन्तर्मुखी र बहिर्मुखी व्यक्तित्व प्रकारहरू विभिन्न आधारमा एकअर्काभन्दा फरक भए पनि, दुईबीचको मुख्य भिन्नता उनीहरूले ऊर्जा पुनः प्राप्त गर्ने स्रोत हो। बहिर्मुखीहरूका लागि यसको अर्थ साथीभाइ र परिवारसँगको अन्तरक्रिया वा घुमफिर हुन सक्छ, भने अन्तर्मुखीहरूका लागि यसको अर्थ किताब पढ्नु वा सङ्गीत सुन्नु हुन सक्छ।
