We can be frightened for all kinds of reasons; some are logical, such as a fear of snakes which might bite you, but people can be frightened of all sorts of  things, many of them harmless: clowns, butterflies, clocks, moonlight. We call them phobias, and there are long lists of these phobias, most of them seemingly totally irrational.  However, not all fears can be classed as phobias, and we have lots of different words to describe fear, and even ways to describe the people who experience these feelings.

Thanks to the wonders of Facebook I have recently linked up with a friend I used to play with when I was about eight years old. The phrase ‘scaredy cat’ was often used as a playground jibe when I was very young. Bigger and older children might dare someone to do something  – such as climbing up on the bicycle shed and then jumping off into the coke pile – a really foolish thing to do as you would probably end up covered with coal dust and many scratches, and at worst you could break a leg.  So the sensible thing to do was to take no notice of such jibes, but not everyone felt able to stand up to the teasing.

I certainly choose to be a vampire.First of all, the vampires are really beautiful.But the zombies are the opposite. They are usually very gory. l have seen a movie called “Interview with the Vampire”. The roles that Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt played are amazing and impressive. Besides(Beyond that???), the vampires can control themselves, but the zombies have no sense. The vampires are immortal and have strong power. I don’t think anyone can refuse such a cool thing.
