Hi!

We heard somebody powerful speaking something but s/he keeps on repeating a particular word so many times.

What would you say / respond about this?

a) irritating
b) awful
c) boring
d) smilingly funny

So what was your pick?

Ha..ha..

Look at the following sentences. What do you think about it?

1. This faculty is very new nevertheless it has 30 young staff with PhD. You all are very lucky, nevertheless, we can still improve along the way once we got some more research grant that keeps on coming. It is hard to secure a grant you know , nevertheless, we keep on trying.

2. This school is very old although it is located so near to the Express Highway. Many of its old students secured great jobs like Tun Mahathir although he came from well-to-do family. For your information, people like Tun should stay away from politics since it was not easy to see a local doctor who graduated from Singapore although it is so near from Malaya. Surprise, surprise , surprise .. University Malaya was in Singapore in those days although it should be called University Singapura.

— so what is your comment please? —

Ali: H/she must do something with his/her vocabulary. I think that will help him/her a lot.

Ranjit: I would better buy him/ her a good dictionary. What do you think Mr Brown?

May (chinese) : it is ok to me .. since s/he has spoken so long on the stage. I can’t do that nevertheless.

Mr Brown: Great. nevertheless did you feel not funny .. I agree with you all (all of you) all along ..that a good work on vocabulary is a must for great speaker who are always called to give speeches .. all over the world. what you think Ali?

Ali: Blind me! you right ..Mr Brown nevertheless .. s/he speaks much better than you Mr Brown.

Mr Brown: In what way better Ranjit?

Ranjit: Oppsss.. you caught me Mr Brown. I want to go to the gentleman please?

Mr Brown: (laugh). You better do Ranjit ..don’t mess with my class ..go ..you Ranjit.

Ok then. I think that is all for today. The key word is don’t over use any particular word on stage ok?

Till then ..good bye every body.
