Hey, guys, this is Luhmann. Have you ever got 1._____________ ? After you get some negative message about you from some people. Maybe through the Internet, through the Facebook. Especially after you have 2._____________ so many things to show your kindness, to show your friendship, or to show your working hard, to show your profession. The people still keep saying that guy, that person is not good enough, that person is evil, he or she is mean, or she is not 3._____________ enough. Take myself for example, about five or ten years ago, at the age of about thirty, you know, some people said that I am not good enough to teach people to use English. They said that I can teach junior high school or elementary school students to wirte from a to z. I was frustrated. I had worked hard on Engslish since I was 18 or 15, you know. And in the end, they said I am just good enough to teach kids or some teenagers. Then, OK, what can I do at that moment? Of course, I felt sad, I felt angry, so angry that I want to 4._____________ those people to 5._____________ . Of course you can’t do that. You will be put behind the bars. OK, what could I do? Say something back to declare to the world how great I am. Of course not. I thought that all I could do is to work hard on English, to prove that they are wrong, to show that I get this kind of ability or profession to teach people to speak English to use this language. And I took all kinds of tests. And now I am preparing TOEIC and IELTS. My suggestion for you is once you get this kind of negative message about you, there are two things you can do. The first thing for you to do is to make a judgement to see if what others say about you negatively is true or 6._____________ . And rationally, it’s hard. I know it’s hard. But you have to do this. If what they say is right is true, you know, is 7._____________ , you have to do something to improve yourself. Take myself for example, what they said so many years ago was absolutey real. I have never been abroad. I didn’t graduate from English department or from English learning or teaching department. I graduated from law school, not from a 8._____________ school, not from NTU. Of course what they said is the reason why they questioned my English teaching ability. And OK, what they said is absolutely right. That’s the truth. And all I can do is to do my best to prove I am better than the teacher, than some of the teachers, not all of them, OK than some of the teachers who graduated from English department, who have spend so many years and so much money staying 9._____________ studying. I have to prove that I am better than they are. And let me tell you, what they said is really helpful to me. Whenever, during these years, whenever I want to quit for one day, OK, tonight I just want to go to bed earlier, just stop listening to English or speaking English for one day or for a few day to take a rest, I will 10._____________ of them. I will think about what others talk about me negatively , and I will do it continually. And I will do it energetically after a hard day. I will get that energy from those negative comments. I really 11._____________ that. I love them and they push me. I will think if I don’t do something I will be worse than those teachers. They have studied English in college for four years. And they even have gone abroad to study, wow!!! How great they are. I can not take a rest for one day.
And the other is what is what they say is false. You know it’s hard. You will get 12._____________ off. You will get very angry. You want to do something that you can’t do. All you can do is, of course, you can choose to give up, to choose to another track. But trust me, if you want to get something, there will be somebody some people say something negative toward you. You know it just 13._____________ time. You just keep working hard, keep working on your field and just let time speaks. Let others know that what they say is absolutely wrong.
So I have two 14._____________ for you to make this kind of rational behavior more easy. Doing these things more easily. First is, the reason why we work hard is partly for ourselves, and partly for the peole that love us, for the people who is on our side. We want to appreciate their speaking 15._____________ of us, right? To prevent them from being disappointed. To prove that what they think upon us is absolutely right. We are so great.

rationally speaking 在 蕭叔叔英式英文學會 Uncle Siu's British English Club Facebook 的最讚貼文
【怪叔叔的crazy passion】
除了說話、文學、寫作、演講、講故事、學習法等等等等,蕭叔叔還對英文某一範疇有特別的obsession:發音。
學發音重要嗎?當然重要,尤其是初學英文時,因為別人聽不聽得明你講乜,好視乎你發音是否intelligible。
但當英文已達一定程度,而日常溝通對象都聽懂你說話時,發音training的benefit會暴降;而且越細微的音,越花時間練;所以當benefit下降,cost上升,越練就會越笨。相反,多花時間在speech fluency、寫作、文筆、吹水能力、public speaking技巧,會有益得多。
可是,世上就是有些怪人,不學到十足不甘心,不論是學發音,寫作,說話,public speaking,都不達到absolute perfection都不肯停下來。就以發音為例,只要他選定了發音的學習對象,不論某個音or the combination of sounds有幾細微,練好的benefit有幾negligible,他都不肯放過,直至學到足為止。
蕭叔叔同埋好多志同道合的朋友正是這類傻人。
有必要將這股傻氣強加於別人身上嗎?
叔叔認為絕對不必。語言沒分對錯,實在不用像不少粵語正音大使一樣把自己的尺強加於人。況且人的時間精力有限,比起學英文,世上還有很多很有意義的事更值得做。
那,我希望將這股傻氣傳染給他人嗎?
當然想。自己瘋狂喜愛的東西,當然想瘋狂同身邊的人share。就好像蕭叔叔對本地野生海魚、on99哥基小狗、同埋三個月減肥法的瘋狂passion一樣,也像好多書法愛好者,運動愛好者一樣。越多知音人,越開心。
這也是蕭叔叔開這個page的目的:分享這個怪叔叔對英式英文,包括發音、用字、寫作、演講、文學、電視、以至說話技巧、語言藝術的crazy passion。
至於點解係英式RP英文,而唔係澳式英文、美式英文,坡式英文、伯明翰式英文,甚至好友Nick Wong推崇的Kongish?
呢個我都唔知。I think it's a variety of English that I fell into,可能是大學那幾年的耳濡目染,覺得英國來的law professor Philip Smart的說話台風好L型,也可能是聽Stephen Fry的故事錄音聽得多。總之就是愛,但如世上所有的愛一樣,我都搵唔到rational arguments support這個passion。 所以,我決定唔rationally argue for my choice了。
Anyway,講到1999。這就是蕭叔叔的英式英文學會在Facebook歸類為「Others:Just for Fun」的原因。
蕭叔叔
