Adam Bradshaw is the famous foreigner teacher. His TV programs are in many channels in Thailand. The breakdown is one of those programs. It is available on modern nine TV at 16:05 pm. Today, Adam suggests about the phrase “I got goosebumps when I heard a news”.

Today he had a question from follower in Facebook. She asked about word to represent her feeling when her feel so scare. The words are goosebumps and hair standing on end. For example, I got goosebumps when I heard the news. Moreover, my hair stood on end when I heard the news. The original of goosebumps came from the skin of goose after was remove its hair. The root of word that mean scare is “creep”. Instance for, he is a creep or he is a very creepy person. In addition, the verb of creep is “creep me out” including he creeps me out. Creep always has out together in verb form.

Concluding, one word can be many parts of speech such as noun, verb and adjective. So, using of word are differences and use in many way. All of these sentences help me to practice my speaking skill.

In my idea, I think reading and writing skill aren't important more than speaking and writing skill. Because when you can understand the other language, it's easy for you to practice advance skill to be good at that language. Furthermore, phrases and idiom is the key to motivate learners to study language.
