Taking Risks

In class, we've been talking about dangerous things in our daily lives. We've also talked about taking risks. Below is a list of several activities (from Let's Talk 3) that are either risky or that might make you feel tense or anxious. Which one would be the most difficult for you to do? Why? Choose one and blog about it. Explain why it would be difficult for you and how you would feel if you had to do it. You should start your blog like this: "Being interviewed on TV would be the hardest for me." Etc. Please try to write at least 4 sentences in your blog. Explain in as much detail as possible. If you wish, you can also describe a past experience that is connected to the topic.

* being interviewed on TV
* complaining to a teacher
* giving a speech in front of many people
* going on a blind date
* jumping from an airplane
* moving to a new country
* quitting a job
* singing solo in front of the class
* traveling abroad alone

If you finish soon, please write a 2nd blog about which activity from the list would be the easiest for you to do.

  1. I can't sing well. Singing solo in front of the class would be very embarrassing. I don't sing popular songs because I usually listen to classical music. I'm sing in a KARAOKE-BOX with my best friends only.

  2. I would be nervous giving a speech in front of many people. For example, I hestate to express my opinions in class. I always worry about my mistakes. So my lips are sometimes trembling.

  3. Singing solo in front of the class would be the hardest for me. I don't have any confidence in a my singing voice. I really wish I had a beautiful voice. So I respect Susan Boyle.

  4. Jnmping from an airplane would be the hardest for me. I have a fear of heights. If I jumped from an airplane, I would probably faint. I wouldn't be able to open the parachute.

  5. Being interviewed on TV would be the hardest for me. Because,I am shy. I cannot speak on TV. I am content just watching TV.

  6. Giving a speech in front of many people would be the hardest for me. Because I'm so nervous. My weak point is speaking in front of many people. My voice becomes quite and no one can hear me.

  7. I dislike singing solo in front of the class.
    This would be very embarrassing because I am utterly tone-deaf and I am a very shy person. So it would be shameful for me to do that.

    public. Especially in front of many people, I can`t speak. I want to do a speech well.

  10. Giving a speech in front of many people would be the easiest for me. The speech is over in a twinkle. But jumping from an airplane would be a very long time for me!! So, giving a speech is better than jumping from a plane.

  11. Quitting a job would be easiest for me. I had a part-time job and I resigned easily. I hated working there and I was fed up. I tryed another job because I want to experience many things.
