UNIT 3

Are You Alright?

After this chapter, students are
expected to be able to:
 Express their sympathy and
attention to other people’s
problems,
 Respond to sympathy and attention
given by other people.




Is it important?
Very.

Expression of sympathy is the
easiest and sincerest act one can
give to others when they are facing

problems or dilemma. It may be
simple, but the effect is enormous.

Sympathy VS Empathy

The difference?

Definition
Sympathy
The feeling that you
care about and are
sorry about someone
else's trouble, grief,
misfortune, etc.
(Merriam-Webster)

Empathy
The feeling that you
understand and share
another person's

experiences and
emotions : the ability
to share someone
else's feelings
(Merriam-Webster)

EXPLANATION
Sympathy
Sympathy is more of a
‘shared feelings’ between
the giver and the receiver.
The giver shows common
courtesy with the receiver,
for example: you show the
same level of sorrow and
sadness toward your friend
whose family member has
died recently.

Empathy

Empathy is the more
extended version of
sympathy. Not only you
share the same grief with
them, but you also give
them your readiness to
console, comfort, and
support them in any way
you can.

So, what can you conclude from the
explanation above?

This is the simpler version:

Sympathy: the
feeling
Empathy: the act

Expressions

used when
showing
sympathy:

Expressions
used when
showing
empathy:

- Hey, what’s
the matter?
- Are you okay?

- Is there
anything I can
do to help?
- How may I be
of assistance?

- What

happened with
you?
- I know you’re
not okay, what’s
up?

- How can I help
you?
- Is there
anything else
you need?

How to respond:

-

Sympathy
Thank you very much for your concern.
I appreciate it, thanks.
I need some time alone, that’s all.

etc.

Thank you, but I don’t want to burden you.

etc.

Divide the class into two,
One part of students as the giver of
sympathy/empathy, and the other as
the receiver,

Students who receive sympathy must
respond accordingly.

Good luck!
