Like any good mother, when Karen found out that another baby was on the way, she did what she could

to help her 3-year old son, Michael, prepare for a new sibling. They find out that the new baby is going to

be a girl, and day after day, night after night, Michael sings to his sister in Mommys tummy.

The pregnancy progresses normally for Karen, an active member of the Panther Creek United Methodist

Church in Morristown,Tennessee. Then the labor pains come. Every five minutes every minute. But

complications arise during delivery. Hours of labor. Would a C-section be required?

Finally, Michaels little sister is born. But she is in serious condition. With siren howling in the night, the

ambulance rushes the infant to the neonatal intensive care unit at St. Marys Hospital, Knoxville,

Tennessee. The days inch by. The little girl gets worse. The pediatric specialist tells the parents, There is

very little hope. Be prepared for the worst.

Karen and her husband contact a local cemetery about a burial plot. They have fixed up a special room in

their home for the new baby now they plan a funeral.

Michael, keeps begging his parents to let him see his sister, I want to sing to her, he says.

Week two in intensive care. It looks as if a funeral will come before the week is over. Michael keeps

nagging about singing to his sister, but kids are never allowed in Intensive Care. But Karen makes up her

mind. She will take Michael whether they like it or not. If he doesnt see his sister now, he may never see

her alive.

She dresses him in an oversized scrub suit and marches him into ICU. He looks like a walking laundry

basket, but the head nurse recognizes him as a child and bellows, Get that kid out of here now! No

children are allowed.

The mother rises up strong in Karen, and the usually mild-mannered lady glares steel-eyed into the head

nurses face, her lips a firm line. He is not leaving until he sings to his sister! Karen tows Michael to his

sisters bedside. He gazes at the tiny infant losing the battle to live. And he begins to sing.

In the pure hearted voice of a 3-year-old, Michael sings: You are my sunshine, my only sunshine, youmake me happy when skies are gray

Instantly the baby girl responds. The pulse rate becomes calm and steady.

Keep on singing, Michael.

You never know, dear, how much I love you, Please dont take my sunshine away

The ragged, strained breathing becomes as smooth as a kittens purr. Keep on singing, Michael.

The other night, dear, as I lay sleeping, I dreamed I held you in my arms Michaels little sister relaxesas rest, healing rest, seems to sweep over her. Keep on singing, Michael. Tears conquer the face of the

bossy head nurse. Karen glows.

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. Please dont, take my sunshine away.

Funeral plans are scrapped. The next, day-the very next day-the little girl is well enough to go home!

Womans Day magazine called it the miracle of a brothers song. The medical staff just called it a

miracle.

Karen called it a miracle of Gods love!

Ten tips for finding the right words

ng vo lc 09:24 03/06/2013 bi Th Hi Yn

Hykhm phnhng iu th v hocng k thnh vintrn Ucan, website hc ting Anh cc nh!

Finding the right word was a lifelong quest for French novelist Gustave Flaubert:

Whatever you want to say, there is only one word that will express it, one verb to make it move, one

adjective to qualify it. You must seek that word, that verb, that adjective, and never be satisfied with

approximations, never resort to tricks, even clever ones, or to verbal pirouettes to escape the difficulty.

(letter to Guy de Maupassant)

A perfectionist (who happened to have an independent income), Flaubert would spend days worrying

over a single sentence until he got the words just right.

Most of us, I suspect, don't have that kind of time available. As a result, we often have to be "satisfied with

approximations" when drafting. Near synonyms and almost-right words, like temporary bridges, let us

move on to the next sentence before a deadline arrives.

Nonetheless, converting inexact words to precise ones remains a critical part of revising our drafts--a

process that can't be reduced to a simple method or a clever trick. All the same, here are ten points worth

considering the next time you find yourself in search of the right word.

1. Be Patient

In revising, if the right word is not at hand, run a search, sort, select process through your mind to see if

you can find it. (Even then, a word may be elusive, refusing to emerge from the mind one day only to arise

from the subconscious the next.) . . . Be prepared to rewrite today what you revised yesterday. Above all,

be patient: take the time to select words that will transfer your exact thought to the mind of a reader.

(May Flewellen McMillan, The Shortest Way to the Essay: Rhetorical Strategies. Mercer University Press,

1984)

2. Wear Out Your Dictionary

Once you have a dictionary, use it! Wear it out! . . .

When you sit down to write and need a particular word, pause to consider the key ideas you want to

convey. Start with a word that's in the ballpark. Look it up and go from there, exploring synonyms, roots,

and usage notes. Many's the time a usage note in theAmerican Heritage Dictionary has led me to the

word that fits, much as the right jigsaw puzzle piece slips into place.

(Jan Venolia, The Right Word!: How to Say What You Really Mean. Ten Speed Press, 2003)

3. Recognize Connotations

Do not be fooled into thinking you can substitute one word for another simply because a

thesaurus groups them together under a single entry. The thesaurus will do you little good unless you are

familiar with the connotations of possible synonyms for a given word. "Portly," "chubby," "chunky,"

"heavy," "overweight," "stocky," "plump," and "obese" are all possible synonyms for "fat," but they are not

interchangeable. . . . Your task is to select the word that conveys most accurately the precise shade of

meaning or feeling you intend.

(Peter G. Beidler, Writing Matters. Coffeetown Press, 2010)

4. Put Away Your Thesaurus

Using a thesaurus will not make you look smarter. It will only make you look like you are trying to look

smarter.

(Adrienne Dowhan et al., Essays That Will Get You Into College, 3rd ed. Barron's, 2009)

5. Beware of Fancy Language

There is a difference between vivid language and unnecessarily fancy language. As you search for the

particular, the colorful, and the unusual, be careful not to choose words merely for their sound or

appearance rather than for their substance. When it comes to word choice, longer is not always better. As

a rule, prefer simple, plain language over fancy language. . . .

8/10/2019 96 ways to say

6/17

Avoid language that seems stilted or unnecessarily formal in favor of language that sounds natural and

genuine to your ear. Trust the right word--whether fancy or plain--to do the job.

(Stephen Wilbers, Keys to Great Writing. Writer's Digest Books, 2000)

6. Delete Pet Words

They may be more pests than pets. They are the words you overuse without even knowing it. My own

problem words are "very," "just," and "that." Delete them if they're not essential.

(John Dufresne, The Lie That Tells a Truth. W.W. Norton, 2003)

7. Eliminate the Wrong Words

I do not choose the right word. I get rid of the wrong one. Period.(A.E. Housman, quoted by Robert Penn Warren in "An Interview in New Haven," 1970)

8. Listen

[B]ear in mind, when you're choosing words and stringing them together, how they sound. This may seem

absurd: readers read with their eyes. But in fact they hear what they are reading far more than you realize.

Therefore such matters as rhythm and alliteration are vital to every sentence.

(William Zinsser, On Writing Well, 7th ed. HarperCollins, 2006)

9. Be True

"How do I know," the sometimes despairing writer asks, "which the right word is?" The reply must be: only

you can know. The right word is, simply, the wanted one; the wanted word is the one most nearly true.

True to what? Your vision and your purpose.

(Elizabeth Bowen, Afterthought: Pieces About Writing, 1962)

10. Enjoy

[P]eople often forget that the sheer joy of finding the right word which expresses a thought is

extraordinary, an emotional rush of an intense kind.

(playwright Michael Mackenzie, quoted by Eric Armstrong, 1994)

8/10/2019 96 ways to say

7/17

Is the struggle to find the right word truly worth the effort? Mark Twain thought so. "The difference between

the almost-right word & the right word is really a large matter," he once said. "It's the difference between the

lightning-bug & the lightning."

A CARELESS TEACHER

ng vo lc 08:55 05/11/2014 bi Th Hi Yn


A history teacher was talking to his class about the ancient Romans

"They were very strong, brave people and they were good soldiers", he said. "They always wanted to have

strong bodies, so they played a lot of games"

"Did they like swimming?", one of the girls asked. "That makes people's bodies strong". She was very

good at swimming.

"Oh, yes, some of them swam a lot", the teacher answered. Then he told them a story about one famous

Roman.

"There was a big, wide river in the middle of Rome", he said. "It was the Tiber, and his man swam across it

three times everyday before breakfast".

The girl laughed when she heard this

"Why are you laughing?", the teacher asked her angrily, "Have I said anything funny?"

"Well, sir", the girl answered. " Why didn't he swim across the river four times, to get back to his clothesagain?"

displaying all sorts of musical instruments caught my eye. Out of curiosity, I decided to go in and

have a look around.

The person I ended up speaking to was a shop assistant on the second floor, in the area of the shop

dedicated to acoustic guitars. I hadnt intended to speak to anyone, but the assistant approached me

in a friendly way and asked whether I had any questions.

I explained to the assistant that I hadnt played the guitar for years, but that I wondered what the

differences were between the various acoustic guitars on show. He talked to me about the different

makes and models, whether they were factory or handmade, the woods and varnishes used, the

variation in sound quality, and of course the price range.

I found the conversation fascinating because the shop assistant was so knowledgeable. It was

obvious that he had a passion for the guitar, and he didnt mind talking to me even though I had

made it clear that I didnt intend to buy anything. He even picked up and played three or four of the

instruments to demonstrate the differences in their sound.
