A1-A2 - A vingança dos peixes 

Era uma vez (porque é assim que todos os bons contos começam) uma família de peixes. Na verdade, eram várias famílias. Nadavam todos pelo mar. Divertiam-se muito a jogar às escondidas, jogavam futebol com conchas e tinham muitas outras brincadeiras. Isto tudo para dizer que viviam uma vida simples, mas cheia de alegria e felicidade. Viviam com outras criaturas marinhas. Claro que, de vez em quando, havia um “desaparecimento”, especialmente quando passava por lá um tubarão, mas isso era a lei da Natureza, e nada podia mudá-la.
Porém, um dia, um peixe desapareceu sem ninguém saber porquê. Estavam todos preocupados, porque ele não voltava. Vários dias depois, outros peixes desapareceram. Portanto, todos os peixes que ainda estavam vivos juntaram-se e decidi- ram explorar os oceanos. Poucos dias depois, um peixe voltou e contou aos outros o que tinha visto: era um monstro enorme, com várias bocas que nunca se fechavam. Não se lhe distinguiam olhos. Ao ouvir isto, todos os peixes ficaram aflitos e com medo. Brincavam muito menos, estavam muito mais atentos e vigilantes.
Mas, um dia, dois peixinhos ganharam coragem, saíram da casa deles e foram explorar o mar, para ver o monstro que comia os peixes. Esconderam-se atrás das algas como costumavam fazer. Esperaram, esperaram, mas foram recompensados por tanta paciência, porque a criatura demoníaca voltou. Comia tudo o que via, parecia que nunca conseguia saciar-se. Tinha imensas bocas que nunca se fechavam. Apesar do pavor que tinham, ficaram a observar e não fugiram. E fizeram bem, porque, depois, eles viram uma coisa inacreditável: o monstro não comia os peixes, mas guardava-os dentro da barriga. Depois subia para dentro do barco que o arrastava. Oferecia todos os peixes que tinha aos humanos, estava ao serviço deles. Foi então que os dois peixes perceberam que não era monstro nenhum… (…)

"Weed" or "A Weed" - a BIG difference!

Try these tips during awkward silences or when you don't know what else to talk about.

1.   Don't reject your own ideas thinking that they are not worth sharing. When you filter most of your stories and experiences you have fewer topics to talk about. 
 
2.   Don't list your points, instead elaborate on each point using examples or personal experiences. This also gives the opportunity to the listener to add to the topic or share their own experiences making it a two-way conversation.
 
3.   Speak at the right pace. If you speak too fast, you end the conversation very quickly. It’s usually because the listener doesn’t understand you and therefore can’t keep the conversation going.  
 
4.   Learn to ask smart questions to keep the conversation going. Ask open-ended questions such as, “what do you think about …?” with follow-up questions “why do you think …?”. This helps you build up on the information that you received.
 
5.   Practise thinking critically so you always have something to say. When you practice critical thinking and ask yourself counter-questions, you are able to spontaneously think of ideas and form arguments using your background knowledge. You can easily connect the dots and be eloquent while talking to people.
 
6.   Learn a few speech frameworks such as Past - Present - Future, Problem – Solution - Benefit, or other storytelling formats such as ‘the mountain’. When you have a structure, you don’t lose your chain of thoughts and you don’t run into dead ends. Your listeners are also able to understand you better and remember what you said.
 
7.   If you are using a second language to communicate such as English, then simplify your complex thoughts in your native language first and then translate them to English. Lots of times when translation is tough, we give up and change the topic. But this practice helps you make the translation process easy.
