water's

tow,

they'd

never

get

to

the

drowningboy.

tothe boy, wasthe fastest way to reach the drowning boy.

popped

back

wide

with

terror,

pawing

and

twisting

against

Jason.

Critical thinking

1 To overcome the inner fear of water, we need to:

?

conquer ourselves with courage by helping others, step up and face our

fear;

?

practice

controlled

breathing

and

alternately

tense

and

relax

muscle

groups

tobring

intophysical

awareness

the

differences

between

being

tense and being relaxed;

?

make the

victim

stop

struggling.

In

this

way

he

/

she

can

be

pulled

to

safety.

2 The fears may come from:

?

?

?

?

our own past experience;

other people's fears we witness;

someone's description about their fears;

influence of specific cultural and historical context.

3 To get a guy to ask a girl out, try giving him some pointers and ideas on how

toapproach thesituation with confidence:

?

Tell the guy to ask a girl on a casual date and see where it goes from there.

Explain to himthat asking a girl out face-to-face can be most appropriate,

as

it

will

show

her

howserious

be

is.

However,

if

he

thinks

that

is

too

daring,

then

suggest

sending

her

a

textmessage

or

calling

her

on

the

phone.

?

Encourage

the

guy

to

be

assertive

and

not

beat

around

the

bush.

Confidence is admirable,and a girl is more likely to be attracted to a man

with

confidence.

If

he

is

asking

thegirl

in

person,

he

should

speak

as

though

he knew

she

would

say yes.

Tell

him

not

tohesitate and

to

get

straight to the point.

?

Suggest that the guy give the girl some choices as to where to go on a

date. If heis unsure of what activities or restaurants she enjoys most, this

is a great opportunityfor him to learn more about her and show her that

be cares about her.

We

allknow

what

it's

like

by

fear,

but

fear, as

it

turns

out,

is

afundamental

part ofour

lives,

and

has some

positive

effects on our lives:

thatwe

can

be

prepared

to

protect

ourselves

from

anything

potentially

threatening orharmful.

?

Fear is an invitation to act. Fear is there to warn us that we need to get

ready forthe future. It isn't there to stop us; it's there to tell us that we are

about to grow.

us

beyond

our
