People are sometimes afraid of something or doing something. However, in some cases, if people are far tooscared of some things or situations, we will call it “phobia.” Phobia has great influence on people’s lives.       There are different kinds of phobias making different people crazy. People with “claustrophobia” don’t feelcomfortable when they are in a small room or space. But some people are scared of being with many people or inlarge open space. It is so-called “agoraphobia.” These are two common phobias.       However, there are some famous people with other strange phobias. A famous actor has nothing to fear in hismovies, but he has a fear of eggs. We call it “ovophobia.” Don’t you think it is quite surprising? Another special caseis “spectrophobia.” People with it hate to look at themselves in the mirror. And now, “nomophobia” is more andmore common. Every time cellphones can’t work well or are out of order, people with this kind of phobia will getvery sad or even quite angry. How about you? Do you have any phobia?
