    The Halo Effect - How First...

    First impressions are powerful, shaping how we view others and influencing the course of relationships, careers, and countless daily interactions. Within moments of meeting someone, our minds form lasting judgments about their personality, abilities, and intentions. This cognitive phenomenon, known as the Halo Effect, demonstrates how a single positive or negative trait can influence our overall perception of a person or situation, often without us realizing it. 
    The roots of the Halo Effect lie in our evolutionary past. Early humans relied on quick assessments to determine whether someone was friend or foe, a survival mechanism critical for navigating uncertain environments. Although we no longer live in those circumstances, this instinct to make rapid judgments persists. A confident handshake, an engaging tone, or even a well-chosen outfit can create an impression that shapes interactions long after the first encounter. 
    What makes the Halo Effect so pervasive is its ability to affect areas far beyond its origin. A charismatic leader may be assumed to be more competent simply because they appear confident. A teacher’s initial positive impression of a student can lead to more favorable evaluations throughout the year. Even brands use this effect by associating their products with appealing celebrities or influencers, leading consumers to view the brand itself in a more favorable light.

    This text appears to be a structured list of short, simple sentences featuring the character “Sophia” performing a variety of actions, both in the past simple tense (“Sophia read,” “Sophia ate,” “Sophia slept”) and the past continuous tense (“Sophia was reading,” “Sophia was eating,” “Sophia was sleeping”). It covers a wide range of everyday activities—reading, walking, cooking, swimming, studying, driving—and seems designed for English language learners or early readers to practice verbs and sentence patterns. 
    It’s essentially a verb-focused exercise book that introduces action words in different tenses using a consistent subject, making it ideal for grammar drills, vocabulary building, and reading fluency practice.
