There are so many expressions in American English that sound pleasant but are not. 【小题1】 When someone says they have to“face the music”,it does not mean they are going to a concert.“Facing the music” means to accept and deal with the punishment of an action.

【小题2】 For example, “I can’t face another night of camping! It’s cold and rainy.” Or “In life, you must face your fears. ”Face used in this way is very common.

But now, let’s go back to facing the music. Imagine a friend asks you to take care of her beautiful red sports car. She gives you the keys and says, “Thanks so much for watching my car while I’m away. But please, do not drive it. It is an extremely(极其) fast car.” 【小题3】 You want to show off to some friends.

Language is important both because of what it communicates and how it does the communication. The power of language is so strong that it shows how language can actually influence the way we think. To broaden (拓宽) language is to broaden the ability to think. We can see this in children, whose thinking develops gradually hand in hand with the language.

So how should we use the power of language: turning words into shapes. Professors have found that our mind explains what it hears. The words that come out of our mouths, create the reality (现实)－for better or worse. Unfortunately, it’s often worse as we destroy our hope of success simply by using negative language that influences our opinions and kills our confidence. What you think directly influence show you feel and how you behave. So if you think you’re a loser, you’ll feel like a loser. Then, you’ll act like a loser, and you will believe you must be a loser.

Creating a more positive opinion can lead to better result. That’s not to say positive thoughts have magic powers. But positive thoughts lead to productive behavior, which increases your chances of a successful result. To build self-confidence, you have to change the way you speak. Remember them: Try to use positive language. Take actions quickly. Have your opinions. And don’t often say sorry to other people unless you are wrong.

Words have magical powers. They can either bring the greatest happiness or the deepest disappointment (失望).
