pheew~
finally the climax has comes to the peak & everything is slowing down....
i do enjoy my 6 nights in the "freezer" wif my lovely papa~
n wat i had discovered from tis "trip" is that.....
reading a story book for a kid is more easier than reading a "story book" for elderly people.
Lolx~
1st, u hav to make sure that the reading material is suitable for ur "target",
next, u'll need to change those words a bit....make the "story" sounds more friendly n easy to understand,
plus, u hav to control ur volume & tone~ so that they won feel bOred when u r reading~

tis may also help to encourage 2ways communication ~
the more interactive during the story telling, the better it is~
here is the differences whn our target is elder ppl. =)
cox whn v r reading for the kids, our major purpose is to make them fall asleep....
while to the elder, v r actually trying to communicate wif them n noe wat's in their mind....
seriously~ its useful.... =)
of course u dun treat them lik a baby ~ dont do it in a too formal way, lik "i'm gonna read this thing to my old man", but make it looks lik a conversation and the "story" is only a tool for u to connect wif them~ =)
after u started off wif the topic, u may try to switch the "story line" into ur real life experience or own opinion and then "the target" may willing to share their experience too....
that is y, the opening topic is important.... so~ be aware whn u choosing the reading materials.
hehe~ do some "research" on ur target b4 u take action....
For those who wish to reconnect wif some1 tat is important in ur life....
phebe thinks that "story telling" would b an alternative for u guys~
