Showing
Care/Sympathy
Sympathy
expression is an expression or feeling of pity and sorrow when we know and
see people are unlucky, have trouble, or are in bad condition. For example,
our friend is sad because his/her grandfather is sick. We can entertain him/her
by showing sympathy. By expressing sympathy, we want to show our concern or
care for other people’s condition.
The
purpose of expressing sympathy is to comfort people who have trouble or are
in bad conditions. It is also aimed to let people know that we care for them.
We can express sympathy directly to him/her orally by saying something
supportive. In this way, we let our friend know that we know about his/her
sadness and we let our friend know that we care and want to help him/her. If
the person who is in trouble is far from us, we can send him/her a letter,
postcard, short message service (sms), or email to show our care/ sympathy.
