Before I started (writing today) today's writing, I looked up Macmillan Dictionary for these 2 words(I looked up these 2 words in the Macmillan Dictionary): sleep and sleepy：）Today's topic is anything about sleep.
-"Have a good night('s) sleep!" "good night~" are really nice and sweet words(sayings/sentences). But I don't usually speak(say) "good morning" or "good night" to my parents,either(neither do) my parents and most Chinese families...just like "I love you". It feels strange to speak(say) these words to my parents. I do love them and they do love me, but we are so shy that we cannot easily speak out. This(our culture) is not a straightforward culture.
I think sometimes it is good to be not(not be) straightforward, for example, when you have (a) bad relationship with a person, if you speak(say) "I hate you", then there would be very little chance to break the ice(here, regain friendship or stay friends would be better, since "break the ice" is usually only used in situations when you are getting to know people you don't know.. and usually you wouldn't hate people you don't know ;)) because rude words get people more irate; but if you don't (say these words), there would be still(still be) some chance for you to become friends. One more friend means less enemies. (there is nothing wrong with this sentence, but the words are quite "high-flying". Not a lot of people would talk about friends/enemies in a blog or even in a book, mostly in regards to war or history)
But sometimes to be(being) straightforward is better, when you dare to speak out your true thoughts and feelings, you are a(n) honest person in the eyes of people around you and they would like to be friends with you. Some Chinese students tend to keep their opinions (to themselves) in many occasions, though they (may) have many different reasons to be in silence(silent), some people would(might) still think they are indifferent.
-OK let's come back to the topic"sleep" ...I don't like to sleep but I sleep quite much( a lot)—_—, I often dream that people no longer need to sleep and they can do anything(everything) else instead! But it is impossible, at least so far we cannot keep(stay) awake day and night. We need rest.
Sometimes it feels sweet when you are sleepy, and(to) have a nap with your favorite book lying in a super soft sofa:D
Mmh, falling asleep with a book :)
ReplyDeleteI feel like sleeping now!! I am so lazy these days ;) Hopefully I will start to be ok again soon, sorry to let you down!
Usually we only say "speak" when we are talking about the ability or wanting to speak - say is used in most situations when we just want to say something we want to say! :) See you tomorrow!
