ネイティブが教える英会話のジェムスクール☆Teachers☆

I have worked with babies for quite some time now. What I have noticed is that for certain babies they tend to not talk much. AT some point its like they hit a switch button and you can't get them to stop talking. For me this moment is magical. I see it as this great process that goes on in the brain and can baffle so many people. Today I had a breakthrough in one of my classes. My students spoke 1000 times more than all the previous classes combined. Anything else that happened today didn't matter. This student made my day bright shiny.

Do you have kids? Did they they start talking little by little or was it at the flip of a switch?  

So I mentioned before that people tend to say random facts about things that are relatively useless, yet are facts all the same. Today's random useless fact!

Crying makes you feel better, reduce stress, and may help to keep the body healthy.

Okay, so that one is actually kind of useful to know. It is always good to reduce stress and stay healthy, and who doesn't want to feel good? I guess it would be good to know -how- crying does all that for you, but it's probably an explanation full of science words, so I won't go there.

Anyway, do you remember the last time you cried? If so, what was it that made you cry?

For me, it wasn't so long ago. It was near the beginning of June, and I found out my cousin died. It was quite a shock to find out, and I didn't end up crying till I got home. I can't say that I felt any better, but who knows, maybe it reduced some of the stress I was feeling at the time? Or maybe it doesn't work for moments like that...
