Unit 6 Book 4
Listen and Respond
P170
Task One
The passage mainly tells us that we will improve our quality of life if we look honestly at the reality of the situation and see the positive side of it.
The speaker says we cannot control diseases, injuries or the weather because they are unpredictable and we are powerless to change them. However, human beings can change the outer aspects of their lives by changing the inner attitudes of their minds, as William James says.
Example one: When one of your co-workers asks you how you’re doing with your work, the positive answer would be “I feel great”, which makes your co-worker feel good.
Example two: When you have a big work project to pleted and you face a deadline. There are two ways to look at the situation. If you worry about all the work still left for you to do, you will feel disappointed and frustrated. If you tell yourself that half of it is already done, and you are certainly better off than when you first started the project, you will feel confident that you can finish it ahead of the deadline.
