Most of us would agree gossip (流言蜚语) is bad. In fact, gossip is something that can forever change a friendship and even prevent you from making new friends. 1 Here are some ways gossip hurts, and what you can do to avoid it.

Gossip Makes You Look Bad

If you’re the one gossiping, other people will not be willing to be your friend. If you talk behind one friend’s back, the possibility is that you will do that to anyone.

The next time you feel the need to do so, take a moment to understand why. 2 Do you believe it will give others the opinion that you’re knowledgeable?

Facing a Friend Who Has Gossiped About You

If you open your heart to a friend and then realize your trust was misplaced, this will forever change your relationship. 3

You may decide that you do not want to give your friend another chance, and this will end your relationship. 4 If so, you’ll need to make sure your friend knows that you don’t talk about people behind their backs, and you expect the same from your friend.

How to Stop Gossiping

5 Even if you don’t know the person being talked about, change the subject or walk away. Don’t let the poor behavior of someone else ruin your reputation as a good friend.

A．Besides, gossiping is not cool.

B．Once trust is gone, it’s hard to be rebuilt.

C．If you hear someone gossiping, just stop him.

D．You may also choose to continue your friendship.

E．Even if someone doesn’t trust you, you can still trust him.

F．Do you think spreading gossip will help make you stand out?

G．The person you’re gossiping to may be friends with the one you hate.

【推荐2】A wonderful way to connect with your loved ones is by capturing and keeping their memories. Here are tips on how to make it a wonderful experience for everyone involved:

1 It’s often helpful to think of events in the past. Try questions like “What did you do for fun when you were little?” or “What was your favorite job?” Work up to deeper questions like “What are you most grateful for?”or “How would you like to be remembered?”

Listen patiently. Your family member might struggle for words. Keep listening for as long as they want to share. 2 If they’re eager to talk, ask for more details. If there’s something they can’t remember or don’t want to get into, move on.

Use photos, music, objects and smell. Of all the senses, smell has the most direct connection to the parts of the brain. 3 Smell can unlock rich memories even when words and actions fail. Flowers, cookies baking...any smell that is important to your loved one can work.

Create a memory box. The sense of touch brings memories.What items hold special meaning for your family member? There are some ideas, such as a medal, trip souvenirs (纪念品), gardening tools, seashells and jewelry. 4

Mix memory gathering into daily activities. At mealtime, talk about favorite recipes and the stories that go with them. 5 Something on TV might trigger (激发) a memory.

A．Ask open-ended questions.

B．Be ready to keep a video camera.

C．Think of memories at family gatherings.

D．Let their reactions(反应) guide you.

E．Collect the items in one place so they’re easy to pull out when needed.

F．Memories are stored just there.

G．Ask about pictures while you’re cleaning.
