Practice English Conversation to Improve Speaking Skills (Phobias) English Conversation

Bruno what are you doing here  in the park so late are you lost

that's funny of course not I'm just walking

I didn't know you like to walk in  the park in the evenings that's great

why do you say that what's wrong  with Walking In The Park at night

no there is nothing wrong it's just that  I always thought you were a little scared

me of course not I am not afraid of anything bro

well if you say so but you're  sure have a phobia right  

everyone has one no way I'm telling you  I'm not afraid of anything no phobias

um let's see what about claustrophobia

it's fear of enclosed spaces people  with these fear say they feel like  

the walls are closing on them  some theories suggest there is  

a genetic link to specific phobias as  a kind of dormant survival mechanism

sure but that's not my case  I don't have claustrophobia

then what about entomophobia fear of insects

they are small they crawl and they often bite so  it is understandable why many people do not like  

spiders and insects but they are a crucial Link  in the food chain and we cannot live without them

it's okay if you feel afraid of spiders  or any other kind of insect don't worry

I'm not afraid of insects I  absolutely don't have entomophobia

then what about office diophobia  that's fear of the snakes

Indiana Jones famously quipped I  hate the snakes and he's not alone

a fear of all things long and  venomous is common to many seriously

the great thing about snakes is that if you  leave them alone they will leave you alone

again I'm not afraid of snakes or spiders  I am not afraid of anything that's all

yeah I see and what about  aerophobia or the fear of flying

it affects between 10 and 40 percent  of people that's a significant number

I mean despite the fact that airplane  accidents are actually very uncommon

around one out of every three people have  

some level of fear of flying  some of the common symptoms

associated with this phobia include trembling  rapid heartbeat and feeling disoriented

or what else the fear of flying sometimes  causes people to avoid flying all together

it is often treated using exposure  therapy in which the person is gradually

and progressively introduced to  flying they imagine they're flying

you don't have to be ashamed of  having that fear of flying seriously

I'm not afraid of flying I  like traveling by airplanes

um okay then xenophobia it's the fear of  dogs you have it right is often associated  

with a specific personal experiences such  as being bitten by a dog during childhood  

such events can be quite traumatic and can lead  to fear responses that last well into adulthood  

this particular phobia can be quite common you  might feel unable to walk down a certain Street

because you know that there is a dog  living in that neighborhood um yeah

this avoidance can impact your ability  to function in your daily life or a few  

I remember a dog bit you when we were playing  in a park when we were children remember

it was long time ago and no I'm  not afraid of ducks that's crazy

oh I know trypanophobia yeah how  did I not think of that before

is the fear of injections a condition that can  

sometimes cause people to avoid  Medical Treatments and doctors

like many phobias this fear  often goes untreated because  

people avoid that triggering object and situation

estimates suggest that as many as 20 or 30 percent  of orals are affected by this type of phobia  

when people with dysphobia do have to have  an injection they may experience feelings

of extreme dread and elevated heart  rate leading up to the procedure

some people even pass out during the  injection I know it sounds crazy but it's real

people with dysphobia sometimes avoid doctors  dentists and other medical professionals

when they have some type of physical  or dental ailment that needs attention

you never liked to go to the doctor I  remember maybe you have trypophonophobia

are you done I told you I am not  afraid of anything bro stop it

then you have social phobia it  involves the fear of social situations  

in many cases this phobias can become  so severe that people avoid events

places and people who are likely to  trigger an entity attack it's serious

people with dysphobia fear being  watched or humiliated in front of others

even ordinary everyday tasks such as  eating a meal can be actually provoking

social phobias often develop during poverty and  can last throughout life unless they are treated  

do you remember when we used to have  expositions in the school do you remember

you never wanted to present our project you  were afraid of speaking in front of the others

maybe you have that disorder and  you don't know that be careful

again I am not afraid of anything  bro stop it now I have to go home  

okay okay I believe you I'm sorry  for telling you half a phobia

well then why don't we go home and  practice English we have an exam tomorrow

can you present the project please you need  to speak in English for at least 10 minutes

what learning English no no no no no

cyanoglossophobia is literally the  fear of speaking a foreign language

a language learning phobia so it sounds like  mild entity it does exist in extreme forms  

romantic events can even make things  worse probably when you were at the school

did you have the unfortunate experience  of being ridiculed for making a mistake

this makes it more likely you  will be nervous in the future  

maybe you have it and you didn't know it
