SEQUENCE II : EmotionsA. Reading ComprehensionB. Pronunciation / SpellingC. Word-BuildingD. GrammarE. Writing 1
A. Reading Comprehension Emotions and your brain Emotion is an intense mental state that arises in thenervous system and evokes either a positive or negativepsychological response. 2
Emotions are related to behavior with survival value (e.g. fear motivates flight, anger motivates fighting). They enable us to react to situations and influence our behaviour -for example, anger or fear will set your heart racing, and feeling happy will make you smile. The bodyfrequently responds to sadness by afeeling of tightness in the throat. Painis best relieved by the well-known(and sometimes automatic) processesof crying, laughing, sweating, andtrembling. Extreme emotions can cause problems. Sadness canbecome depression, anger can become aggression, andpleasure can lead to addiction. Feeling afraid in a dangeroussituation is natural and useful. But being scared when theredoesn't seem to be a clear reason, is anxiety. When remembering an emotional event, you recallnot only what happened, but also how you felt. Scientiststhink that we store early emotional memories, even if wecannot remember what actually happened. These memoriescan last a very long time and may still affect us as adults. One of the key areas of your brain that deals withshowing, recognizing and controlling the body's reactions toemotions is known as the limbic system. But are emotions and feelings just learnt as we growup, surrounded by pictures, photographs and television? 3
Apparently not: even people who live in isolated parts of theworld use these same facial expressions to communicatetheir emotions. They are considered to be universal in allhuman beings.Activity 1: Say if the following statements are true or false and correct the false ones.1. Emotions are only positive.………………………………………………………………2. Emotions have a link with man’s survival instinct.………………………………………………………………3. Emotional memories disappear quickly.………………………………………………………………4. Emotions have an impact on our behaviour.………………………………………………………………5. When you are scared, your heart beats less quickly.………………………………………………………………6. Our emotions are controlled by our heart.………………………………………………………………7. People from different cultures have different emotions.………………………………………………………………Activity 2: In the list below, some words express a less intense emotion than the others: Write pairs of words as in the example - sympathy - anger - love - happiness - despair - - fright - fear - rage - terror - elation - disgust - - elation - sadness - worry - distaste - 4
Less intense More intense happiness elation………………… …………………………………… …………………………………… …………………………………… …………………………………… …………………………………… …………………READ THE TEXT BELOW AND THEN DO THE FOLLOW-UPACTIVITIES The \"Fight or Flight\" Response. Have you ever wondered why being scared makesyour heart beat faster and makes you breathe quicker? Your body does a number of things automaticallyso as to be ready for quick action or a quick escape:Your heart rate increases to pump more blood to yourmuscles and brain. Your lungs take in air faster to 5
supply your body with oxygen and the pupils in youreyes get larger to see better. This reaction is called the\"fight or flight\" response. We all feel anxious sometimes - walking alone at night, for example or before an exam. But some people suffer from a severe form of anxiety even when there seem to be no reason. This may stop them from leading a normal life. A few peoplemay have panic attacks and *phobias which are all forms ofextreme anxiety. Some scientists think that a special area in thebrain controls the fight or flight response. With anxiety,it's like having the fight or flight response stuck in theON position - even when there is no real danger.These five steps may help you deal with stress andanxiety.1. Talking to a relative, or a friend may help you get through the tough situation you're facing.2. Exercising, listening to music or going for a walk may help you shift to a better mood.3. Considering what the problem is calmly may be a good start for solving it.5. Being positive makes things easier. 6
Test anxiety Before an exam, you feel shaky or sweaty and you have a headache. You think \"What if the test is too hard?\" “What if I forget everything I know?\" This is known as test anxiety. It occurs when you feel worried about how you will perform.New word: a phobia: an intense fear of something specific,such as being up high, getting dirty or spiders.WHAT CAN YOU DO TO EASE TEST ANXIETY?Talk to someone about it can make youfeel better .Be prepared for the test. You will feelmore confident.Block any negative messages you mighthave and say to yourself, \"I studied andI'm ready to do my best.\" 7
Take care of yourself. Get enough sleep, a balanced dietfood and time for relaxing.Breathe better can help you calm down.Here's how to do it:Inhale (breathe in) slowly and deeply through your nose,and thenexhale (breathe out) slowly through your mouth.Arcy Lyness, PhD, February 2007Activity 1: Answer the following questions1.

SEQUENCE III : HumourA. Reading ComprehensionB. Word-BuildingC. Writing 1
A. Reading Comprehension Patch Adams or Doctor clown who uses humour inhis practice, brought a lot of humor, love and compassion tosick children, elderly patients and suffering people . 2
Definition of humour Some claim that humour cannot be explained becauseits essence lies in the relevance factor and the surprisefactor. An object or a person can become funny in threedifferent ways:♦ by being in an unusual place♦ by behaving in an unusual way♦ by being the wrong sizeTechniques for evoking humor:1. Verbal• irony: - When you say something and you mean precisely the opposite of the words said. What lovely weather we’re having! 3
- When a statement or situation implies both a superficialand hidden meaning which are contradictory with each other- historical ironyÎ in response to Mrs. Connelly comment: “ Mr. president, you can’t say that Dallas doesn’t love you.” J F Kennedy uttered his last words: ‘‘That’s very obvious.”- situational irony Î results from a contradiction between is expected and what actually occurs with a fatalistic view of life. ‘The Gift of the Magi’ by O. Henry is a classic example of the situational irony in literature. To give each other gifts on Christmas day, a young couple sell the only possessions they have. the young woman sells her hair to buy her husband a watch chain while he sells his watch to buy combs for his wife’s hair.- irony of fateÎ A man who falls in a giant waterfallmiraculously survives but slips on the soap as he washaving a shower and dies from trauma and drowning. 4
• A joke: is a short story or something said to make the listener or reader laugh. e.g.: Why do tomatoes turn red? Because they see salad dressing. (dressing means both putting clothes on and a mixture of oil and lemon that you pour on salad). What streets do ghosts haunt? Dead ends! (dead ends: streets with no way out at one end.)• A riddle: An amusing question that uses puns and double meanings for humorous effect as in: e.g.: Why is 6 afraid of 7? - Because 7 8 (ate) 9. What has four legs but can't walk? - A table. What is common between Switzerland and Algeria ? In Switzerland, they have watches. In Algeria, we have time.• A word play: a literally technique in which the nature of the words are changed 5
9 oxymoron: use of two contradictory words. e.g.: honest thief (a thief is someone who steals things, thus he is not honest.) living dead (a dead person is no longer alive and the adjective living is used for people who are alive now.) deafening silence (Silence is the absence of sound or noise whereas the adjective deafening is used to say that it is difficult to hear.)9 a pun: a deliberate confusion of similar words or phrases for humorous effects. It forms the basis of a lot of the jokes we hear every day. e.g.1: A man's home is his castle, in a manor of speaking. (The word play is on home, castle and manor - The pun is on manor and manner.) The place where you live with your family is called home and it is generally said that there is no place like home. That is why it is called a castle “as amanor”instead of “a manner” (=a way) of peaking. A manor is a large country house with land around it.e.g.2: A pessimist's blood type is always b-negative. (The word play is on “pessimist” and “b- negative” = be negative. The pessimist always expectsnegative things to happen) 6
2. Non verbal• visual humour (pictures) is anything which conveys its humor visually often without words being words being used at all.e.g.: A No smoking sign at Baker street tube station surrounded of Sherlock Holmes smoking a pipe.Why is humour used?9 Humour is often used in journalism to convey a message. It is usually better accepted when it is funny.The French President Chirac and thefootballer Zidane`s shake hand isbeing turned to another butt.(Zidane`s first famous butt wasgiven to Materazi) 7
