Anxiety, tests and children (New Module - EP4)

ANXIETY AND LEARNING ENGLISH

I get anxious about something/about doing something e.g. about meeting deadlines
schedule = timetable

to schedule a date, an appointment, a trip, a lesson, a class, a vacation, a party, a meeting

Here are some interesting takes on what ANXIETY is:

Anxiety is like salt: too much can kill you and too little can make life a funeral/can make life tasteless/can make life bland (by Luciana)
Anxiety is the difference between poison and medicine (by Maxwell)
Anxiety is good after and bad before (by Thiago)
Anxiety is the excitement of the expectation (by Pedro)

I am looking forward to doing something = I am anxiously waiting for doing something

Something I will have to study for all my life/for my entire life/for a lifetime/for as long as I live/until my last dying day (by François)/until my last breath



Anxiety and Parenthood
The most difficult thing about being a parent
The most rewarding thing about being a parent


parent X relative

parent = only father or mother
relative = uncle, aunt, cousin, grandparents, nephews, nieces, in-laws

There are more pros than cons
When you become a parent, life makes new sense/life has new meaning
Raising an only child is more difficult because you don't know when to say to them 
That's the biggest challenge = that's the dilemma
It could be amazing to ...
Some kids can run a riot = some kids can cause destruction
Some parents beat children as a way of education
Some parents let children do what they want
