Practice: Speaking

Discuss the ideas in pairs

Self – Image

Self- Image is the set of beliefs and mental pictures that we all have about the kind of person we are.

Our self - image will affect the relationships we have, the

decisions we make, and the goals we set for ourselves.

Everyone is born with specific physical characteristics, as well as undiscovered capabilities and talents.

We are a "work in progress".

However, we are not born with our self- image.

The expectations and responses of other people influence how we see ourselves.

A positive self- image is the necessary " cornerstone " for us to built a successful, happy life Improving our self- image can change our life.

All feelings are O.K!

Feeling is our subjective awareness of our own emotional state.

Feelings are then, directional signals essential for human life.

They are neither right not wrong.

They alert us to information about the state of our physical needs (hanger, thirst, etc.) and our psychological needs (love, belongings, competency).

Emotions and feelings arise from the interaction between what is going on around us and our response to it.

We all have bad days, or weeks, or even months.1-----.Things usually get better. Sometimes that's hard to remember when you're down. But stress and depression happen in the lives of people young and old. Problems get people down. We feel tense, fearful, or angry because things are changing—they seem out of control. It's hard to manage. More than 2,000 high school students were asked how they handle serious problems in their lives. 2. -------.They either try to handle the problem themselves or talk to their friends. It's important to think about how to help yourself as well as a friend who comes

Aggression and anger get attention. 3------ But aggressive actions, like drinking too much, driving recklessly, swearing at people, and breaking up things, can cause trouble in the long run. They don't usually solve the problem.

Withdrawal can also be destructive. It's normal to react, “Just leave me alone!” But if it goes on for a long time, we are without what we need most—sharing, understanding, and help.

4----- .The depression and anger become worse, and we begin to make bad choices instead of healthy ones.

When you stomach churns, your head aches, and fear creeps through your inside, your mind and body are reacting to stress. There are a number of things you can do, such as:

talk to someone you trust, share what is bothering you, listen to music and relax, get some physical exercise, do something that normally gives you pleasure, give yourself a chance to think

These are first-aid actions. They do not solve the problem, but you can blow off some steam.5.------ Go have a good talk; lay out the problem and try to figure out some ways to solve it. It is important to remember that you cannot be responsible for another person's actions when they are stressed, depressed, or suicidal. Whether they are crying out for help or suffering silently in despair, only they can help themselves. 6--- This means listening to their concerns, supporting them, and helping them get skilled help from a trusted and capable adult friend.
