Conversation #1 – Worrying, Reassuring, & Cheering Up
TIẾNG ANH | TIẾNG VIỆT |
Robin and Kate are sisters. Kate is 17 years old and she is getting ready to take her final exams in high school. Robin is 24 and she has already graduated from college. Kate: But I can't stop thinking about that C-. Now I probably won't get any scholarships. |
Robin và Kate là chị em. Kate năm nay 17 tuổi và cô ấy đang chuẩn bị bước vào kỳ thi cuối cấp trung học. Robin 24 tuổi và cô ấy đã tốt nghiệp đại học. Kate: Nhưng tôi không thể ngừng nghĩ về C- đó. Bây giờ tôi có lẽ sẽ không nhận được bất kỳ học bổng. |
Conversation Vocabulary and Phrases
Kate uses a few different phrases to talk about her worries:
This expression is used to express extreme worry - it doesn't mean that you are literally sick
Complete this phrase with the possible future event that you are worried about
Use these phrases for thoughts that are constantly in your mind, even though you try not to think about them
Use this phrase when you are so worried about something that you can't sleep.
Use this phrase to express imaginary bad situations that you are worried about (they can be in the past, present, or future)
Robin reassures her younger sister by using a few of these phrases:
For more formal situations, you can use these phrases:
o "I can assure you that we will fix the problem as soon as possible."
o "I can assure you that we sell only the highest-quality products."
Now let's look at expressions for cheering someone up – that means helping someone feel happier when they are sad or upset.
These are pretty informal. They can be used if someone’s in a bad mood – but not if someone has experienced a tragedy or is in serious depression.
Say this when someone is currently experiencing a difficult situation, which will continue, and you want to encourage them to stay strong
Use this phrase if the other person is worrying excessively about a relatively small problem
Use these phrases to show the person that their problem is not terrible, when you consider the “big picture” – the general situation
Use this phrase to encourage the person to focus on the positive aspects of the situation. It’s often followed by explaining the positive side.
Say this when the difficult period or problem will soon be finished.
This idiom can be used after someone makes a mistake, and then is upset about it.
Say this when someone is upset about a common mistake or problem, like getting a speeding ticket or losing their wallet.
English also has a few very informal phrases which are used when you want to tell someone very directly to stop worrying/being sad. These phrases are rather insensitive, so you should only use them with close friends with whom you have a good relationship!
You’re telling the person to face the difficult situation without complaining
You’re telling the person to stop obsessing about a past mistake/event
Use this phrase when the other person is so agitated that he/she can’t function;
you’re telling them to get back into a normal condition
Conversation #2 – Encouraging & Complimenting
TIẾNG ANH | TIẾNG VIỆT |
Ann and Jason are college classmates. They’ve just finished giving a presentation in an English literature class. Jason: Thank you! I do feel like I’m making progress. The night before, I always do a practice presentation for my roommate – then on the day of the presentation, it’s easier because I’ve already done it, so I know exactly what to say. |
Ann và Jason là bạn học đại học. Họ vừa thuyết trình xong trong một lớp văn học Anh. Jason: Cảm ơn bạn! Tôi cảm thấy như mình đang tiến bộ. Đêm hôm trước, tôi luôn thực hành thuyết trình cho bạn cùng phòng của mình – sau đó vào ngày thuyết trình, mọi việc sẽ dễ dàng hơn vì tôi đã làm rồi nên tôi biết chính xác mình phải nói gì. |
Conversation Vocabulary & Phrases
Here are a few phrases for encouraging someone – they’re each used in different types of situations, so pay attention to the details and explanations:
Say these when someone has done something good. They can be used for anything – not just professional activities.
Say this when someone is doing well, and you want them to continue
Say this when someone failed, but you want to say that it was a good effort
Say this when someone is now better than they were in the past
Say this when someone has not yet succeeded, but they are close to succeeding
The phrasal verb “give up” means to desist, to stop trying – so you can say
“Don’t give up!” to encourage a person to continue trying.
Use this phrase to emphasize the person’s ability to succeed. You can say this to a person who has low self-esteem or has difficulty believing they can succeed.
“Your best shot” means “your best try” – so this phrase is used to encourage someone to do their best.
This question is used to emphasize the fact that if the person doesn’t succeed, there won’t be any negative consequences – so they should make an effort.
