　　時(shí)尚口語：sight

英語時(shí)尚口語

　　Every once in a while on a weekend, my family and I go to the local park, and shoot off some small fireworks. then we light some sparklers and run around until they burn out. Its nice to watch the kids run around with the sparklers. You know, its actually kind of hard to see who is who in the dark. but I can tell because the height of sparks and the sound of the laughter. If it were only laughter, and no sparks, wow, something big would be missing.

　　If I had to lose one of my senses, I am not sure which one would be, but I now for sure that I would keep my sight. Being able to see is such a blessing.

　　There are so many wonderful things to see in this world,

　　the colorful flowers and leaves,

　　the amazing clouds,

　　the way sun shines,

　　These are some of the things that I love looking at.

　　I also think about reading, I read all the time. And because my sight, I am able to read conveniently.

　　I do so much with my eyes.

　　I dont have perfect eyesight, but I am glad I can see so much.

　　Talk about it:

　　1)If you have to lose one of your senses, which one would it be?

　　2)how important are your eyes to you?

　　3)do you have good eyesight?

　　4)what do you think about wearing glasses or contacts?

　　7)what measures can you take to allow blind people to work and live comfortly?

　　8)many disable people find their other sense are hightened, what do you think about this?

　　時(shí)尚口語：Pet peeves

　　I dont complain that often, its just not my style. But sometimes I just have to get whats bothering me off my chest! Maybe today is a good chance to talk about my pet peeves. Today, Ill invent a little bit, I hope you dont mind. Do you have any pet peeves? You know those things you often complain about, those things that dont seem to go away, or those things that bug you over and over again. Like, people who talk on their cell phones at the movies--that really irritates me! Or, people who dont use their turn signals when they make a turn or change lings--what are they thinking! Or, you know what aggravates me? People who wear sunglasses in the subway--whats up with that? Or, people who dont wash their hands after they go to the bathroom--come on, guys! Or, litter bugs, just put your trash into trash can--how hard could that be?

　　Talk about it:

　　Do you have things that frequently bother you? Are there any pet peeves you can mention to your friends? What is a pet peeve? How do you react when someone bothers you? Do you complain a lot? Do you complain about big things or little things? What are some small things that bother you? How do you deal with your pet peeves? Do litter bugs bother you? What bothers you when people are driving?

　　時(shí)尚口語： Red

　　When learning English, a good memory will help you, but a good imagination may help you even more. For example, in English we don’t have many words for colors, but we have many ways to describe a color.

　　We say red like a cherry, or red like blood, or red like someone’s lips. But red is red. What comes to mind when you think of red? I think of different things like delicious red apples, expensive red sports cars, sparkling red rubies, or red roses. I also think of different images, ooh, a company that is not doing well, it’s in the red; or special ‘red-carpet’ treatment you might give a VIP. A person with a bad sunburn is as red as a lobster. A person who is angry is red in the face.

　　Word association exercises can help you with English. So, I hope you’re in the mood to exercise.

　　Talk about it:

　　When you hear the word “red”, what comes to your mind? What is your favorite color? How does the color red make you feel? What is something that is like red? Did you ever play word association games? Does having a good imagination help you learn the language? How can the good imagination be helpful? What method do you use to learn English?

　　時(shí)尚口語：making changes---getting rid of bad habits

　　I was cleaning up my computer yesterday, organizing files, deleting some unused things to make more space, and improving what I already have. Even though my computer was almost five years old, pretty old in computer years, I dont plan on buying a new computer any time soon, because I just use it for some simple things. Anyway, so I got to thinking about, well, if I could 【】 different things from Me, what would I ? If I would add certain things, what would I aad. I guess its possible to add or subtract certain physical traits. Many people plastic surgery or get liposuction, or whatever, but I was thinking more about habit. If I were able to one bad habit, and add one good habit, what would it be? I started running through my list of bad habits, After a number of three thousand four hundred and seventy-one, I thought, "OK, Asaac, choose one!" So, I decided on knuckle cracking. Thats the one habit I want to get rid of. If I could magically add habit, I guess it would be "exercise every morning before I go to work". All of us had bad habits, some of them arent so bad, these could be things like: not turning off the lights when leaving the room, or watching too much television. But, some of these bad habits are more serious, like: drinking too much, or smoking. I am glad I dont have those habits. There are lots of good habits we can pick up.

　　A person might try being nicer to people, or stop eating junk food, or try to be more punctual, not be later all the time.

　　Everyone probably wants to lose bad habits, or pick up good babit, how about you?

　　What would you like to add or substract from you life?

　　Talk about it

　　1)what are your good habits?

　　2)what are your bad habits?

　　3)whats one bad habit you would like to get rid of?

　　4)whats one good habit you would like to add?

　　5)what would you like to change about your life?

　　6)Is there a habit that you have that is different or unique?

　　7)when breaking bad habits like smoking, people often say that they are cooking cold chocolate, do you know what this experience means?

　　8)what do you think the best method for breaking about a habit is?

　　9)how often do you have to perform action before you think it be comes a habit?

　　時(shí)尚口語：Making judgement

　　Are you the type of person that is quick to judge? I often make the mistake of quickly judging someone. Youve probably heard the expression, "Dont judge a book by its cover". But, its hard not to. In this fast-food world, where everything travels faster and faster, and we are still not satisfied. Its hard not to make quick judgement.

　　We channel surf, and people surf too.

　　I think its easy to critisize others, and its easy to critisize ourselves. I would have to say that Im my worst critic. Im pretty hard on myself. How about you?

　　Do you consider yourself to be a fairly understanding person? Critisizing yourself a little bit is ok. Actually I think its important to laugh at yourself, even to tease yourself. Better you tease yourself than others. Rodney Dangerfield, a famous American comedian, passed away not too long ago, he has many one-liners, where he put himself down.Would you like to hear one of the silly things he said?

　　He said,"I told my psychiatrist that everyone hates me, he said I was being rediculous. Everyone hasnt met me yet".

　　Recently, Im trying to be less critical of people, and even myself. When Im in a judgement mood, I even try to laugh a little, what do you do?

　　Talk about it:

　　1)are you a critical person?

　　2)what do you usually criticize?

　　3)how do you feel when people criticize you?

　　4)are you good at laughing at yourself?

　　5)how important are first impressions to you?

　　6)do you ever judge people before you meet them?

　　7)are you able to change the first impression of a person later on?

　　8)what do you do to make a good first impression?

　　9)how do you decide whether to change something about youself?

　　10)would you change something about yourself if a close friend or relative pointed out a fault?

　　時(shí)尚口語： Self-improvement-upgrating your life

　　If you are given some money to fix up your residence, your apartment or house,what would you do?Would you get some new wall-paper?would you get some new light fixtures? would you get some new furniture? these kinds of things are called home improvements.

　　If you are given time and money to upgrate yourself, what would you do?learning a new language?exercise more?buy some new shoes?go on a diet?take up a new hobby?take sing lessons?what do you think about self-improvement?

　　I love trying to do new things, or learning new skills, I love the feelings of learning something new, it makes me feel like I am a complete person. and it doesnt have to be something big either, it could be something small, but still important.For example, I have been thinking about going to the dentist for a long time,but I get up to courage and actually went the other day. It was nice to finally have my teeth cleaned.

　　Anyway, these things are all related to self-improvement.

　　Is there anything at the top of your list of things to do to improve yourself?

　　Talk about it:

　　1)what would you like to improve by yourself?

　　2)what can you do to upgrate your life?

　　3)Its self-improvement always expensive?
