Hi everyone,
I hope you enjoyed today’s class. Well, this week I want us to discuss Bonus Speaking Question 2: “If someone is annoying you, is it better to complain or to keep quiet? Why?”
What do you think about this question? Personally, I think I complain sometimes and keep quiet other times… but I’m probably more likely to keep quiet. If the source of my annoyance is my family or my boyfriend, I’ll probably say something. If it is a friend, I’ll probably keep quiet. When it comes to things that happen in public, like on a train or at the movies, if it’s something that annoys not just me but other people around me, I might say something. But, I think I’d be less likely to say something these days because we often see cases on the news of people being randomly attacked in public. I remember, when I was a university student, I saw a high school boy being bullied on the train, and I yelled at the boys who were bullying him to stop. Now, I’m not sure if I would say something or not, because I wouldn’t know how they would react… they might become more violent.
Anyway, I think there are many opinions regarding this question… so let’s hear yours!! Please leave your comment by Midnight Tuesday… but of course, the earlier the better!!
Have a good week,
Kris

Hi Kris,
If my family is annoying me, I'll surely say something too, because we can make up soon.
However, if my friends or my acquaintance annoying me, I'll keep quiet, because I'll surely regret if I say something terribly. I think there are no good things to complain others when we get mad.
So, I think it is better that if we get annoyed, we should stand at that time, and then, we should ponder whether complain or not calmly.
Hi Kris,
If my brother and my mother are annoying me ,I always complain them because I think it is refreshed to want to say each other.
But If other people such as elders are annoying me,I usually keep quiet because I don't like to make trobles with the others. So, I'm careful to don't say anything that might get me into troble.
Therefore, I figure we should keep up with times.
Hello,
I'll do same thing as Kris and ↑, beacause of the same reason. I know they don't hate me seriously even if I have a heated fight with my family. However, I don't have confidence to make up with my friends after a fight. So I'll keep quiet as long as I can accept. It could be long. I guess I should tell them what I really think, but some times it'difficult for me.

Hi Kris,
If someone is annoying me, I would surely complain. But I haven't complained very much, because it has been me to be bad, mostly.
In addition, when I was a high school student, I complained to my friend though it was me to be bad.
We didn't speak to each other for a week. I have come to apologize obediently since then.

Hi kris,
I always keep quiet if someone is annoying me. I don't like to complain something. So if someone is annoying me, I leave there or ignore him(or her). I think I'm quick-tempered, but I don't want to let my heart rule my head.

Hi Kris, I’m sorry for late to write this blog.
Actually, I think I keep quiet if someone is annoying me. Because I don’t want to fight with others as much as possible. However I have same idea with Kris. If someone of my family member is annoying me, I complain to him or her.

Hello Kris, I'm sorry for being late for writing.
Personally,I think it depends on the situation. I'm sure that I won't get angry at trivial things.But I'll complain if someone or something really annoys me.Actually I told my next-door neighbor to keep quiet because he was laughing very loudly at midnight!I can't put up with the noise...Damn!!
