SHOWING SYMPATHY

Apa yang kamu rasain ketika ngeliat anak kecil nangis kesakitan? Ato pas tangan teman kamu luka? Ato dengar orangtua teman kamu meninggal? Kasian gak? Iba gak? Hehe.
Pasti kasiankan, pasti iba juga?
(kasian sama iba kan sama aja, hehe :) )
Apa yang kamu ucapin saat ngeliat ato denger gitu? Diam? Masa sih?

Hayo. . . Ingat-ingat dulu deh. Udah ingat? Biar aku tebak. Pasti kamu bakal bilang gini buat ngehibur teman kamu,
"Yang sabar aja, yahh"
"Aku juga ikut sedih"
"Aduh, kasiannya!"
"Oh, Tuhan"
"Kamu gak sendiri kok"
"Badai pasti berlalu. Tetap tegar."
Prediksi aku bener gak? Kok bingung sih? Ya udah deh kita langsung ke topik hari ini yaitu ekpresi simpati ato bahasa Inggrisnya sympathy expression. Kita mulai dari definisi.

Definition:
Sympathy expression is an expression or feeling of pity and sorrow when we know and see someone or people are unlucky or have trouble and in bad conditional.

How can we give sympathy expression to someone?
We express it directly to him or her orally or we can use a letter or card by post also by short message service (SMS), e-mail, television, radio, and newspaper if he or she who got the trouble is far from us.

Expression of sympathy:

Test 1 : Descriptive Text

Gregory

by Barbara Carter

Gregory is my beautiful gray Persian cat. He walks with pride and grace, performing a dance of disdain as he slowly lifts and lowers each paw with the delicacy of a ballet dancer. His pride, however, does not extend to his appearance, for he spends most of his time indoors watching television and growing fat.

He enjoys TV commercials, especially those for Meow Mix and 9 Lives. His familiarity with cat food commercials has led him to reject generic brands of cat food in favor of only the most expensive brands.

Gregory is as finicky about visitors as he is about what he eats, befriending some and repelling others. He may snuggle up against your ankle, begging to be petted, or he may imitate a skunk and stain your favorite trousers. Gregory does not do this to establish his territory, as many cat experts think, but to humiliate me because he is jealous of my friends.   After my guests have fled, I look at the old fleabag snoozing and smiling to himself in front of the television set, and I have to forgive him for his obnoxious, but endearing, habits.
