Here is our topic for this sunday, 10 Jun 2007
Sorry for posting late.
ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING
Attitude can really change your life, let''s see how.
Let''s look at the glass of water, how do you describe the amount of the water in this glass?

You probably see the glass half empty
However, others may see the glass half full
You see, we can have different views on the same thing, and the way we think and feel about something is called attitude.
1. How do negative attitudes affect your life ?
And how do positive attitudes change your life ?
What are affirmations related to attitudes?
Can you use the positive attitudes and positive affirmations
to have a better life: achieving your goals, releasing stress, having healthier bodyõ?Ư
2.How to shift a negative attitude to a positive one:
Whenever you have a negative thought -->> immediately evaluate the facts and think of positive alternatives that also fit the facts.
The picture about the glass of water above can be cited as a good example of this method.
Let''s practise this method, what would you say if :
- you failed in a competition
- you failed again
- you saw a dull sky with dark clounds when you were going to have an important date
- you were bitten by a dog
3. "Positive Attitudeõ? Contest:
Now letõ?Ts see who have the most positive attitudes dealing with many difficult situations given.
What would you said if ... wait and see what situation you will face
Attitude Quotes
It''s so hard when I have to, and so easy when I want to. ~Annie Gottlier
Anywhere is paradise; it''s up to you. ~Author Unknown
" A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.õ? ~ Winston Churchill

Dear HYECIANS,
What is the difference in use and meaning between the words ''large'' and ''big''?
First I''ll talk about form
''Large'' and ''big'' are both regular adjectives...
Their comparative forms are ''larger'' and ''bigger'',
Their superlative forms are ''largest'' and ''biggest''.

''Big'' is a very common word in both written and spoken English; in fact, it''s in the top
1,000 most frequently used words.
''Large'', on the other hand, is a less frequently used word and doesn''t even make it into the top 3,000 most frequently used words in English.
The general meaning of both ''large'' and ''big'' is:
''of more than average size/amount/weight/height'' etc.
For example:
''Iryna has got a well-paid job and can afford to live in a house'' - OR...
''Iryna lives in a large house''.
In these examples, both ''big'' and ''large'' mean that Iryna''s house is of more than
average size.
Although ''big'' and ''large'' both mean the same in these examples,
''large'' sounds a little more formal.

Neither ''large'' nor ''big'' can be used with uncountable nouns.
say:
This means, we can
''The house has a (big or large) garden'' - because ''garden'' is countable.
use ''big'' or ''large'' with ''traffic'', because ''traffic'' is uncountable.
However, we can''t
With uncountable nouns, you can use ''a lot of'' â?" for example:
''There''s a lot of traffic on the road next to the house.''
So, although ''large'' and ''big'' are often interchangeable, sometimes they are not.
So next, I''ll try and give you some examples of when this is the case...
''Big'' can mean ''important'', for example: ''Buying a house is a very big decision''.
to mean ''older'', for example:
It can also be used in informal situations
''He''s my big brother''...
as well as ''successful'' or ''powerful'', for example:
''York is a big tourist destination''.

, we can use ''big'' to mean ''doing something to a large
Also in informal situations
degree'', for example:
''She earns a lot of money, but she''s also a big spender'' - OR...
''I''m a big fan of yours''.
Big'' is used in a lot of fixed phrases
change ''big ''to ''large'' would sound wrong. Examples of fixed phrases using ''big''
include:
''It''s no big deal'' - it''s not really important.
''I have big ideas for this house'' - impressive plans for the future.
She''s a big mouth'' - a person who can''t be trusted to keep a secret.
''He''s too big for his boots'' - too proud of himself.

using ''large''. Examples include:
There are also some fixed phrases
''The prisoners are at large'' - they have escaped and may cause harm.
''She''s larger than life'' - more exciting or amusing than most people.

....
Finally, quantity words
''large'', more often than ''big'', is used with the following quantity words:
''a large amount'', ''on a large scale'', ''a large number of'', ''a large quantity of'', ''a large
proportion'', ''to a large extent'', ''a large percentage of'', ''a large part of'', ''a large volume''

Topic this week is : Color in Idioms
-Idioms are phrase and sentences that do not mean exactly what they say. Even if you know the meaning of every word in the see or hear, you may not understand the idiom because you do not understand the culture behind it. (tarocat.com)
- Over the centuries, colors have been used for signifying meanings in heraldry, given to the months of the year and the seasons, religious symbolism, and for everything from weddings to babies. Florists are quick to tell us red roses mean love.We use color to describe emotions. And how about "once in a blue moon everything goes all right" or "it''s a red-letter day."
========= So how about COLOR in IDIOMS? =========

Topic hay quá!! Em biết vài câu Idiom có Coulor, hi vọng mọi người nhớ nhiều câu Idiom!!!
