Oxygen

Oxygen - Marie Serneholt

Oxygen

You touch my skin
Change the mood I'm in
Teach me how to fly
Just by looking in my eyes

Every word you say
Sets my heart on fire
Every move you make
Takes me higher

I get so high up here
When I touch the sky
It hurts me when I breathe
I need oxygen

Whenever you are near
I can hardly speak
It hurts me when I breathe
I need oxygen
I need oxygen
I need

Suddenly
Suddenly I see
How great my life can be
Sailing in the wind

With you my love
Every day is brighter

I get so high up here
When I touch the sky
It hurts me when I breathe
I need oxygen

Whenever you are near
I can hardly speak
It hurts me when I breathe
I need oxygen
I need oxygen
I need

With you my love
Everyday is brighter

Ending conversation





You make phone calls every day, at least one call a day? You start your calls with 'Hi, How are you?
' ?... But how about the way to end your phone conversations?

I would like to tell you some functions used in this situation :


+ If you made the call, repeat why you called with I just wanted to...
:
I just wanted to call and hear your voice :D

+ If the other person called, thank him/her for calling:
I'm really glad you called.

+ Say you have to go because something is happening:
I'd better go.
There's someone at the door.

+ If you expect to speak to or see the person again, mention when:
Ok, I'll call you again next week.
Ok, see you on Thursday.

+ At the very end of the conversation, use an expression for goodbye:
Goodbye.
See you later.



Here are some ways to end a telephone conversation. I hope they can help you avoid the sentence Hey, I have to stop here, my phone account is running out [ of course, we are students ^^ ].

Ways to give comments or to interrupt


In our class, Mr.Binh has shown us many useful functions that we can apply. Today, our group would like to introduce some more in order that we can use to make our speaking more diversified.



1. Commenting:

If you want to give your comment, the best way you should do is acknowledging what someone has just said, and then stating your own idea. Some phrases such as:

That's interesting. I think that...
Interesting point. I would add...
Hmmm. I hadn't thought of that before.

Questions can also be a useful way of bringing new ideas into a conversation:

What do you think about...
Have you considered...
What about...

Sometimes a more direct approach is appropriate:

Can I add something here?
(Do you) mind if I interject something here?



2. Interrupting:

When someone is speaking, it's impolite if you don't know how to interrupt appropriately. Use some of these:

Excuse me,
Pardon me,
Sorry to interrupt,
May I interrupt (for a minute)?
Can I add something here?
I don't mean to intrude, but . . .
Could I inject something here?
Do you mind if I jump in here?



I hope this post can help you have more ways to express your speaking suitably.

Thanks for reading ^^

Lessons from Speaking class


It has been nearly a week since we learned the speaking lesson of how to give our own opinions, how to agree or disagree with someone :D To understand more, you can click these below links and feel free to leave comments ^^

More expresssions on stating and response an opinion

How to agree with an opinion

Giving opinions, agreeing and disagreeing

Improve your Speaking skills !!!

Debating method


For me, lessons I could gain from the Speaking class last week were not only the ways how to express my own opinions but also the way how to care about every problem happening to our country or even our world.

I will not forget the feeling I had when Teacher asked me what I thought about the obesity nowadays. Frankly speaking, I had nothing to say about this problem at that time bcuz I didn't use to really care of it. What a shame :">

I myself feel that Mr.Speaking was right to say that we should care more about what was happening on the daily news and we should prepare for ourselves some fixed knowledge and some points of view to use in case we could be asked. Without doubt, being able to show exactly what you think about a problem in a debate can affirm your respectability in others' thought :D

After the last class, I think I should pay more attention to what is happening on the news or TV everyday ^^ I don't like to be thought that I am a cold person who don't care about anything around me :">

THE VALUE OF TIME



If you want to know the value of a year, ask a person who has just failed the university entrance exam.

If you want to know the value of a month, ask a mother who has just borne a lack-month child.

If you want to know the value of a week, ask a person who has had cancer at the last period.

If you want to know the value of a day, ask an editor of a daily newspaper.

If you want to know thr value of an hour, ask a person who has just been stuck in an elevator.

If you want to know the value of a minute, ask a person who has just missed a bus.

If you want to know the value of a second, ask a person who has a relative that has just died in a traffic accident.

If you want to know the value of a tenth of a second,ask a person who has just won the second prize.


Time is invaluable.When it passed, it would never return.So,

"Don't live as if you had a thousand to live,live as if tomorrow was a day at the end of world".
