Consider the following situations then respond to the
questions that follow:
1.
You are shy and somewhat poor in
communicating in English.
2.
You have a classmate who is self-centered.
He believes that he is the best in the class.
3.
Your cousin, a second year high school
student, has no interest in his studies. He only loves to play basketball. His
grades are failing.
4.
You have a classmate who is always scolded
by your teacher. The more the teacher calls his attention, the more he becomes a
problem in class.
a. What can you say about each situation?
Situation 1: I say that this situation is rather easy and not at all hard to be resolved.
Situation 2: This would be somehow difficult to resolve since self-centered people don’t normally listen to other people’s opinion other than their own.
Situation 3: This is also a hard situation for you cannot exactly force a person to do something they don’t want to do.
Situation 4: This situation have practical solutions that can be easily carried out.
b. What would you do in these situations?
Situation 1: I say I have to work hard to improve myself. I can take charge and try to take workshops that involve speaking in English. The more a language is practiced, the more it’ll be used. Thus, the more I will improve. Plus the more I got to workshops and meet people, the less I’ll become shy. This is because I’ll be forced to somehow talk and socialize.
Situation 2: I really can’t do anything about that self-centered classmate. I would just let him be. He doesn’t hurt me, he just annoys me. So it’ll be best if I left him alone and not cause any unwanted conflicts.
Situation 3: I would try to convince my cousin to study more. I would also point out the work his parents/guardians are doing to get him into a school. I’ll do whatever I can to make him see the importance of education.
Situation 4: I would personally tell the teacher the situation. I will explain to him/her the causes of his/her sermons.
