And we'd be very happy to hear from you and very happy to help you.
So what are we going to talk to you about today?
Well, I thought we'd talk about verbs and verbs relating to persuading.
So when we want to persuade somebody, it's about getting them to change their mind, getting them to do something that you want them to do, even though they want to do something else.
Generally getting them to have a shift in their particular opinion.
So let me go through them, explain them, and give you an example.
Brainwash.
Well, this is a word we hear in all sorts of movies, whether it's about the demons or the dead or somebody has to be brainwashed.
And the idea of somebody pouring lots of water into your head to get your brain clean.
So that might be the literal meaning of it, but when we brainwash somebody, we get them to think the way we want them to think.
So when we used to watch these movies of the 1960s or 70s, and if you fell into the wrong hands of the enemy, they would try to brainwash you.
So you'd go around like a robot, okay?
So to be brainwashed, thinking what you want to do.
So when we are brainwashed, we might just use it in a little bit of a joke.
You say, ah, yeah, those people have you brainwashed.
