14. 5F
Think of a situation where you needed to use a
careful choice of words. It can be a conversation
that you had in the Thai language.
-Maybe had to be more polite than usual.
-Had to use different words to change emotions
-Had to say less in order to change meaning.
-Had to say more in order to change meaning.

15. 5F: My Experience
• When I’ve had to tell parents about teaching their
children.
• Especially when they are not good students or
not good at sport.
I have had to say less, and I focus on the positive
aspects (energetic, youthful, individualistic) of
their character.
Little on the negatives points (they are
rude, unintelligent, selfish). No parent wants to
hear their child is not good enough at something.

16. 5F: Another Experience
• Breaking up with girlfriends
Positive about them. (You’re so nice!)
Words which make them feel like they have
done nothing wrong.
(“Boring”  We have different interests)
Say less to reduce bad emotions.

17. 5F p.25
• Think of your situation. Write it down and
share it with a partner.

• Every time you hit the
balloon you have to come
up with a new word from
the assigned ‘topic.’
• Score a point, when
someone hits the ball
without saying a new
word.
• Score a point if the ball
drops on the ground.
