Speaking Lesson Series: Talking about fear

There are many words and expressions for talking about fear.   Words: afraid: "Are you afraid of the dark?" frightened: "I'm frightened of spiders." scared: "He's scared of making mistakes." feel uneasy: "I felt a bit uneasy when I walked home in the dark." spooked: "My cats are easily spooked before a thunderstorm." terrified: "She was absolutely terrified when she heard the noise." petrified: "The building began to shake and we were all petrified."

Expressions: a terrifying ordeal send shivers down my spine give me goosebumps (goosebumps are when you skin has little bumps on it) make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up (dogs also do this when they are scared) scare the hell out of me be scared shitless / shit scared (British slang - vulgar) be bricking it (British slang - vulgar) frighten the life out of me shake with fear jump out of my skin   Examples: One of the best horror films I have seen is "The Blair Witch Project". It tells the story of a terrifying ordeal in the woods of northern USA. Some of the scenes in the film sent shivers down my spine, especially the one when the students run out of the tent in the middle of the night. When they go back, one of the guy's rucksack has been emptied. When that same guy goes missing the next day, it gives you goosebumps. There are some fabulous sound effects, especially the ones of the wind blowing and howling. When you hear the crying voices at the end of the film, it will make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. Perhaps the scariest part of the film is at the end, when you see one of the surviving students literally shake with fear in the corner of the basement. It certainly frightened the life out of the girl when she saw him, and I jumped out of my skin at the end when the camera stopped filming. The film scared the hell out of me for weeks afterwards, and I'm ashamed to say that I wouldn't go into an empty room in the house unless there was someone there with me.

7 Cara efektif dalam berkomunikasi

1.      Hindari kesan memaksa Ketika kita berkomunikasi hindari kalimat : "Kamu harus……" baiknya diganti dengan "Sebaiknya kamu……." atau "Maukah kamu......" 2.      Fokus kepada solusi bukan masalah Ketika berkomunikasi fokuskan kepada hal yang menjadi solusi bukan masalah. Contoh : Ketika makanan di rumah habis, tidaklah efektif jika kita berkata "Aduh Lapar banget......" lebih baik kita berkata "Yuuk, beli makanan di luar......" 3.      Ubah "kata tidak bisa " menjadi "bisa" Ketika kita diminta untuk mengadakan pertemuan, lebih baik anda mengatakan "Kita bisa mengadakan pertemuannya minggu depan" daripada berkata "Kita tidak bisa ketemuan sampai minggu depan" walaupun dua kalimat dengan arti yang sama tapi estetikanya berbeda. 4.      Ambil tanggung jawab dan jangan menyalahkan Hindari kalimat " Ini bukan salahku" lebih baik ganti dengan kalimat " Apa yang bisa saya lakukan untuk memperbaikinya" 5.      Katakan apa yang anda inginkan bukan yang tidak anda inginkan Jika anda tidak ingin seseorang menyetir ngebut, lebih baik berkata "Tolong bawa mobilnya hati-hati" daripada anda berkata "Jangan bawa mobilnya terlalu kencang" 6.      Fokus pada masa depan bukan masa lalu Jika ada kesalahan teman anda daripada anda berkata " Saya sudah bilang sebelumnya....." lebih baik diganti dengan " Mulai sekarang, kita........." 7.      Bagikan informasi bukan argumen Hindari kalimat, "Tidak, kamu salah......" lebih baik diganti dengan "Saya ingin sepeti ini......."

7 Effective Methods in Communication

Avoid the impression coerce When we communicated avoided the sentence: "you must……" good him was replaced with "Would you……." Or "May you......" The focus to the solution not complication When communicating focussed to the matter that became the solution not the problem. The example: When food in the house was finished, not effective if we said "Ow, really Hungry......" It would be better if we said "Let's, bought food outside......" The difference "said" could not become "can" When we were asked to hold the meeting, better you said "we could hold his meeting next week" than said "we could not claped eyes on up until next week" although two sentences with the same meaning but his aesthetics was different. Take responsibility and don't blaming avoided "this" sentence " it is not my fault" better the substitute with the sentence "What that could be done by me to repair them" " Say what was wanted by you not that not you want If you did not want someone drove Fast, better said "please brought his car was careful" than you said "should not bring his car was too fast" The focus in the future not really than If having your friend's mistake than you said "I has said beforehand....." It would be better if was replaced with "From Now On, we........." Distribute information not the argument avoided the sentence, "Not, you were wrong......" It would be better if was replaced with "me want to this case......." Congratulations tried and Fill his comfort communicated...

Time Shot

Honorable MEN Must Read for Every Man and of course Woman (to understand man) If a female is reading this article then just realize the value of a man; and if its a male then feel proud of after reading it!   'One day, while a woodcutter was cutting a branch of a tree above a river, his axe fell into the river. When he cried out, an Angel appeared and asked, 'Why are you crying?' The woodcutter replied that his axe has fallen into water, and he needed the axe to make his living. The Angel went down into the water and reappeared with a golden axe. 'Is this your axe?' the Angel asked. The woodcutter replied, 'No.' The Angel again went down and came up with a silver Axe. 'Is this your axe?' the Angel asked. Again, the woodcutter replied, 'No.' The Angel went down again and came up with an iron Axe. 'Is this your axe?' the Angel asked. The woodcutter replied, 'Yes.' The Angel was pleased with the man's honesty and gave him all three axes to keep, and the woodcutter went home happy. Some time later the woodcutter was walking with his wife along the riverbank, and his wife fell into the river. When he cried out, the Angel again appeared and asked him, 'Why are you crying?' 'Oh , my wife has fallen into the water!' The Angel went down into the water and came up with ANGELINA JOLIE 'Is this your wife?' the Angel asked. 'Yes,' cried the woodcutter. The Angel was furious. 'You lied! That is an untruth!' The woodcutter replied, 'Oh, forgive me,It is a misunderstanding. You see, if I had said 'no' to ANGELINA JOLIE , You would have come up with CAMERON DIAZ . Then if I said 'no' to her, you would have come up with my wife . Had I then said 'yes,' you would have given me all three. Angel, I am a poor man, and am not able to take care of all three wives, so THAT'S why I said yes to ANGELINA JOLIE .' The moral of this story is: Whenever a man lies, it is for a good and honorable reason, and for the benefit of others. By: Free-English-Course@yahoogroups.com
