When I get in a bad mood ,no one can help me snap out of it，their comfort can even make me drag on for a longer time. So I will stay alone and listen to some music, like Sia’s songs,it can snap me out of it and help me bounce back. Thank you very much Jeniffer!You’re a great teacher!

Let me try today's phrases. 1. Politicians are habitual of dragging on with their rhetorics but this time around people won't fall in their trap. 2. We shouldn't remain glued to our past. We have to snap out of our bitter experiences and move forward. 3.Yes it does, but then my mum chips in with some inspirational advice and helps me snap out of it. Please check my grammar.

So happy I could introduce you to her and her amazing work. Her protege was Vicki Lawrence, who became her "mama" in many sketches and eventually lead the cast in the show "Mama's Family." There are some funny scenes on YT showing the typical dialog written for Vicki and Carol. Remember they did a lot of live TV back then, so they had to keep a straight face. They struggled not to laugh and get out of character. kzread.info/dash/bejne/aIal3MWlc6_YgJM.html kzread.info/dash/bejne/oYJ7k6akg8LMZMo.html Personally, I love her as Miss Hannigan in the film adaptation of Annie.

A bad break up is hard to deal with. Depression can drag on for quite some time. Only those of us who have given our hearts know what it's like to try to recover from that.

Hi Jen, 1. My team will have lunch together at my house this weekend and each person will chip in his/ her dishes or wine. ( Can I use "chip in" in this case?) 2. I think it depends on what kind of bad mood you are in. For example, when my father passed away, I feel like my heart broke into pieces and this dragged on for years. And I think, there's nothing could snap me out of this feeling (at least upto now). However, in a different situation like breaking-up with my boyfriend or the odd was against my project, this just dragged on for days or weeks. I snapped out of this by practising yoga or having a nice cup of tea/ coffee or putting more efforts in the next project. Thank you!

Comedy on the TV helps us snap out of bad moods, but we get a doze of frustration when the commercial breaks interrupt our laughter. I watched a few episodes of Friends recently.
