Why can't people use direct language?

By jujupage1 -
Hello Jujubears and welcome to another blog post,

Today I am going to be talking about direct language. Now, I don't mean overly direct to the point when everything you say is literal but I just mean say it how it is. For example, today I was learning about euthanasia in RE. Now, instead of saying euthanasia is when someone wants to die, the RE teacher said that it's when someone wants to end their life. I really do not understand why people are so frightened to say die when surely in a case like euthanasia, that's what the person wants and feels like. Let's take another example. Soldiers from the first world war used to come back with a mental disease called shell shock. This was and is due to the intensity of the fighting and the war in general. What I don't understand is why people now call it posttraumatic stress disorder (PSD). That phrase does not tell people what it's really like to be in that mental state. So why do we use indirect language?

Comment down below your answer and wether or not you agree.

See you next time,

Bye

Building up your strength as a dancer - Dance Saturday

By -

Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post,  I'd say, no matter what kind of dancer you are, strength is really important. Dancers do need a certain level of flexibility in order to pull off all the technical movements and tricks and it definitely does make for a more cleaner and neater final performance. However, I think that strength is just as important, especially for those long and challenging routines that require a lot of physical endurance. At dance lessons on Thursday, we're beginning to do a set of core strength exercises once every month. I definitely think that this is really helpful for me because I'm more of the flexibility type instead of the workout type. It's no good being able to do all these amazing kicks and leaps, if you can't last the performance so we've been doing lots of different sit ups and cardio vascular exercises. I think that it's a common misconception that ballroom and Latin dancers don't need a lot of core s...

What I got for Christmas 2018

Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post, Christmas for me, has gone by so quickly! I think it's because we had my God siblings come over up until Christmas Eve and we just completely skipped the flow of Christmas. Not that we didn't have a good time doing Christmas things with them but when it came to Christmas Eve, I just couldn't believe that it was Christmas Day the next day already. Nether the less, Christmas Day came and I am just so grateful for all the gifts I received. Christmas Day for me is all about seeing the kindness in people and I definitely saw that this Christmas. I know Christmas can be a horrific time for some families in the UK and across the world. I recently watched Rich House Poor House Christmas Special and it showed me just that. The family on the poorer end of the spectrum had to spend the whole of their last Christmas in emergency housing with two kids and an expecting single mother around strangers. The show is based around the ...

Blogmas day 17 - A day out in London

Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post, Luckily today, I woke up a little better than the day before. I had coughed quite a bit during the night and Marion and Alice heard so we were a little tired waking up but my throat definitely didn't feel as soar. We got up at around 7:30am to have breakfast since we needed to catch the train at 9:27am. I had my usual tea and toast with jam. After, I got dressed, packed my bag and I was ready to go! Me,my mum, and my sister went in one car whilst my dad, Thomas, Marion, and Romain went in the other because there wasn't enough room in one car.  We arrived at 9:15am and we waited at the station in the warm for a little bit. We talked to some friendly people, one by the name of Dawn. They were really nice and were happy to see some more French people in the area for once. Then, at 9:27am the train arrived and we got on. It was an hour and a half journey and for the entire time, Alice, Thomas and me had to stand since the...

How to use your face more in dance- Dance Saturday

By -
Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post,  Dance is an excellent art form for expressing yourself and your emotions. These expressions not only occur in the body, but also in the face. Over the 7 years that I've been dancing, I've seen many different types of dancers. Those who dance well in the body and use their face to exaggerate the movements. Those who perhaps forget the steps that they're doing in the dance but are not afraid to use their face. Then lastly, like me for a long time, those who dance well in the body but forget to use their face. The last one is certainly not uncommon. Especially as teenagers, we may find it awkward to do a sassy or funny face because we think that others may find it weird. However, by using our faces not only does it express every emotion in every movement, but it also makes you look confident and stand out to the crowd. Although I am better at this now, there have been times where I've found it difficult.  As some ...
