The Power of Blurting Out
Blurt out is more than just the slogan or empty advice. It really dose have the power to give you a breakthrough in English. The following are two stories that show how blurt out has affected English learners of all ages.
“Are you Kim?”
I was in a book store in Hainan when a very small girl approached me with confidence and asked, “Are you Kim?” I barely had time to say “Yes”, before the girl recited the whole pledge in the first page of the first issue of blurt out. I was amazed to hear such a young girl speak such perfect English. The sentences in that verse are far more challenging than anything I have ever seen in a primary English book, but this little girl never hesitated. I couldn’t keep a smile from my face as I heard her clear little voice blurt out that “English is a piece of cake”. I told her she was wonderful and asked how old she was. She continued to blurt out in perfect English, “I’m eight years old and I love English and I love you!” I was so moved that I wanted to cry. Her mother was standing behind her proudly, but couldn’t speak English at all. This little girl ran away from me before I can even get her name or address, but I would always remember her just the same. If you get discouraged or think that blurting out sentences isn’t helping you, just think of this little girl. If she can do it, you can, too!
