Reading

Read and complete the article with the sentences a–f. There is one sentence
9
you don’t need.

How often have you been in a situation where you just don’t know what to do or how to behave? You have
to stand up in front of the class and give a talk about your favourite book. 0 Your mouth feels dry and no
one can hear what you’re saying. (b) You’re at a party where you don’t know anyone and you feel too shy
or nervous to go up to someone and say hello. 1 ........................................ But you know what? The good
news is … you’re not alone. There are millions of people out there who feel just as you do, but they have
learned how to hide their feelings and you can too, by learning the principles of NLP.

Neuro Linguistic Programming (or NLP for short) was developed in the United States in the mid-70s and is
now used all over the world as a very useful tool for improving communication. It makes the connection
between our brain (neuro), our language (linguistic) and our habits (the programming – how we behave).
And basically, the way we think affects the way we behave. What we think inside can change the way the
world treats us. 2 ........................................ If we really believe that we’ll be successful, then we will be –
it’s as simple as that. We’ve all met people who seem to have everything. Well, it’s not by chance. They
will have a voice inside that is positive and focused.

It’s very useful to stop and listen to the conversation you have with yourself. 3 ........................................
From the moment you get up to the moment you go to sleep you will hear your inner voice: I should study
harder; I shouldn’t be so lazy; I can’t go the party because I don’t know anyone; I can’t play tennis so why
do I bother?; I’ll never be able to pass my driving test. 4 ........................................ Do you ever say to
yourself, ‘I’m really good at English and I’m very pleased with my progress.’?

So next time you’re feeling uncomfortable or worried, just take some time to listen to your voice. Stop the
dialogue and change the negatives into positives and you’ll be surprised at how the world changes
because you’ve changed. It sounds so simple but it really IS. 5 ............................................. As we say
‘practise makes perfect’, so why wait?

a If we believe that no one likes us, then no one will.

b Your mouth feels dry and no one can hear what you’re saying.

c Nine times out of ten, these conversations will be negative.

d You stand in the corner looking nervous, avoiding eye contact with your
arms crossed.

e Of course you have to practise, but as with anything, the more you
practise the better you become.

f What are you going to do about it?

g That dialogue never stops, does it?
