* WRITING A SUMMARY
Writing a summary was easier in this term than in the first because now I have more skills and understanding how to do it.

* PERFORMANCE IN ESP VOCABULARY TESTS
Some tests have been easier and some took a lot of time to prepare. But how to prepare to them I have learnt in the thirst term: try to rewrite definitions in your own words, to understand it and to repeat it many times. To sum up, I think that I was quite successful in it.

* LISTENING PRACTICE IN CLASS
This ground is neither my best nor the worst. I think that by the time and with more practicing my skills at this will be better and better.


* MAIKING POWER POINT PRESENTATION
Making power point presentation hasn’t been very hard and I enjoyed it. Because I have chosen interesting topic, maiking presentation was interesting too, and I hope that others was interested as well as me.

* SHORT TALKS ON ESP THEMES IN CLASS
In my opinion my speaking get better but very slowly.

Necrophobia

Necrophobia or the fear of the dead is a psychological status when you feel afraid of death or may be you are afraid of dead things. The feeling is indeed uncanny. You cannot explain that eerie feeling, which you experience when you stand before a mummy or a corpse. This phobia is indeed dangerous.
Imagine yourself standing in a museum room with dead things around. The mummy with skeletal features and several carcasses of extinct animals of the world – all are looking as if ready to catch a prey when no one is around.
Symptoms of necrophobia:
•Shortness of breath;
•Rapid heartbeat;
•Infrequent and asymmetrical heart beat;
•Sweating;
•Dry mouth and shaking;
•Feeling sick and queasy;
•Psychological instability;
•An altogether feeling of dread and trepidation.

May be it developed after you saw some one dying or an ugly dead thing before you. You may have gone through lots of emotional trauma then.
Self-help NLP skills and procedures help in creating reality. During a successful session of self-help Neuro Linguistic Program your psychological ‘construct” is changed.
Once the “constructs” are exposed and reprogrammed, the fear of the dead is either minimized or absolutely eliminated. Self-help NLP techniques help you judge a situation logically and once the rational gains victory over the irrational, half the battle is automatically won.

Professor Richard Wiseman

Professor Richard Wiseman is based at the University of Hertfordshire in the UK. His work is reported in over 40 academic journal articles, eight books, 10 book chapters and over 30 national and international conference papers. This reveals the remarkable psychological perspectives.

Professor‘s researches of paranormal, about work which examines the formation, maintenance, and impact of belief in the paranormal and magical thinking. The most interesting fact was that many of the experiences when people say that they see ghosts have a psychological explanation. This may results in mild psychosomatic and hallucinatory phenomena.

Rischardas Wisemans are only beginning to bloom. I am convinced that the experimentation will reveal to us yet more secrets of the mental.
