Have you ever seen the film? B: Yeah, I have seen it before. It gives me a deep impression. I think it is very moving and I feel very sad for the sinking of Titanic which leads to the death of so many people. And I hear that before the sinking of Titanic, at least 9 people had dreams in which a ship like the Titanic hit an iceberg and sank. I think it is very strange , what do you think of it? A: Yeah, I have heard the same thing. People sometimes have the feeling that they know something is going to happen. This is called a premonition. Some premonitions take the form of dreams or visions. Others are just strong feelings, ideas, or guesses that come into people’s minds for no apparent reason. B: Oh! It is so fantastic.

Prior to the formation of the familiar funnel-shaped cloud, the sky is very clear. Then, a black line suddenly appears. As this black area moves in, the fast wind becomes hot and moist and a deep stillness encircles the landscape. Because the air pressure drops steadily during a tornado, breathing becomes difficult.

It is so convenient. A: But when you use the telephone, you can’t rely on facial expressions, gestures, or appearances. The impression you make depends entirely on what you say and how you say it. I don’t think it can transfer the information clearly. B: Yeah, your opinion about this situation is right. I believe that we need to improve our communications when using the telephone. We should speak loudly enough to be heard, but not too loudly. And we should speak clearly. Don’t mumble, chew gum, or eat while we are talking on the telephone. A: Yeah, you’re right. And I think we should speak in a pleasant tone of voice. Smile. The other person won’t see the smile, but he or she will hear it in your voice. And we should keep background noise to a minimum. We must use correct grammar and pronunciation. If you don’t know how to pronounce a name, ask. B: Yeah, I agree with you. I believe that if we can do all the above, we must take a good advantage of the telephone communication.
