What people say versus what they mean is actually a
very interesting and tricky topic at the same time.
Read some on
that topic here, this
one, and that
link too. Then, follow these tasks.
Task
one:
Pick out at least five expressions from these ones
that someone has said to you or to anyone you know or you said it to somebody
and they (or you) have misinterpreted them and write them down. Write down what
you or the people really meant at that time.
Task
two:
Click on this link
and record yourself describing just one situation that you have had that
someone, or yourself, said something and what you or them actually meant; share
the situation, what, and why that misunderstanding happened.
