Overcommunication - A Revisit

Overcommunication - A Revisit 

Janpha Thadphoothon

 One might ask what overcommunication is. Over + Communication is its word structure. 'Over' means too much and communication is as we know a set of activities related to signs and information.

Why do we need to look closely at communication? By the way, overcommunication is not a new concern. It was used in 1951. Back then, we had newspapers, books, radios, and TVs. No Internet back then.

New words, phrases, and expressions I have Learned in "Unit 6 Pressure"

New words, phrases, and expressions I have Learned in "Unit 6 Pressure"

Hello Everybody. I am Janpha Thadphoothon and I have been taking a course titled Reading and Writing -4. I enjoy it very much.. Despite the Covid-19 pandemic, I have been working hard to learn English. I believe in it necessary and important to take notes and revise what you have learned on a regular basis.




Below are some of the words, phrases, and expressions I have learned in Unit 6 Pressure.

1. Achievement (n.) = a thing done successfully, typically by effort, courage, or skill.


It gives you a sense of achievement if you actually make it to the end of a very long book.


2. Lifestyle (n.) - the way in which a person or a group lives

It is difficult to pay for a good lifestyle. (p. 101)

Are you living a healthy lifestyle? (My own sentence)


3. Celebrity (n.) 



4. Pressure (n.) - a difficult situation that makes you feel worried or unhappy:


Then there would be less pressure to be “perfect” and more opportunities to

simply enjoy your time together. (p. 101)

- She's got a lot of pressure on her at work just now.

- Under pressure (collocation) Under + Pressure e.g.

Be nice to him - he's been under a lot of pressure recently.


5. Childhood - (n.) - the state of being a child

1 If you could have any job in the world, what would it be? This is a common

question often asked during childhood in many cultures. Children have been asked

this question for generations, but their answers are changing. Recent studies

have highlighted a dramatic and rather worrying shift in children’s ambitions. (p. 105)


-  I spent my childhood in Surin. (to spend your childhood) - collocation



(At least 10)
