People disagree about meaningful and small matters on a daily basis. Sometimes you know if you speak your mind you will upset someone. However, you often must express your opinion even if you know others will disagree. By choosing your words carefully you can avoid a long-term offense(冒犯) .

“Ask people about their perspective (观点). Before being honest about how you feel, it’s important to know their perspective. This gives you a chance to show genuine interest and have a conversation.     1     They may even end their explanation with a request to hear your perspective.

·Put yourself in their shoes. One of the simplest ways to avoid hurting feelings is to imagine how they will respond to your statements.     2     Practise imagining how they view their own opinion and yours. Just because their perspective is different doesn’t mean it’s wrong.

·    3     Be careful with your honesty. You want to speak the truth in kindness. That means avoiding obvious negative behaviors such as making a face or making fun of their ideas.

·Be polite in your responses. Whenever you try to avoid hurting others it is best to speak with kindness. Simple acts of kindness can make a big difference. They convey respect and show that you value the other person. This situation isn’t all about you speaking your mind.     4    

·Express your perspective as opinion, not fact. This shows you value their perspective, even if you know the facts back you up. If they have an open mind, facts will change their perspective. If they do not have an open mind, facts will feel like personal attacks.     5     Allow them to discover the truth in their own way, not yours.

A.They have a right to be incorrect.
B.It’s about them feeling valued.
C.Control your words and body language.
D.If they said that to you, would you be upset?
E.Listening to others’ opinion is a very powerful way.
F.Use facts and try to avoid letting your emotions run high.
G.This may also give you opportunities to speak up and be honest.

【推荐1】An allowance (零用钱)is an important tool for teaching kids how to budget, save and make their own decisions.Children remember and learn from mistakes when their own dollars are lost or spent foolishly.

How large an allowance is proper? Experts say there is not right amount.Actual amounts differ from area to area, and from family to family.To set a right amount of allowance for your child, work up a weekly budget- Allow for entertainment expenditure such as movies and snacks.' Next, include everyday expenses such as lunch money, bus fare, and school supplies.“If you make the child responsible for these 4 bills',” says Josephine Swanson, a consumer (消费者)specialist,“he or she will learn to budget for necessary expenditure.”

文章大意:这是一篇说明文。主要说明了从事志愿活动有助于缓解压力和孤独,有利于身心健康。

【推荐3】In our modern world, high pressure of work and life has led to the practice of social distancing, creating feelings of stress and isolation in many of us. Some people have been hit particularly hard, including the elderly, parents occupied with work and child care, and students who have lots of homework.     1    .

New research suggests that volunteers aren’t just helping the communities.     2    . Compared to people who didn’t volunteer, people who had volunteered were more satisfied with their lives and rated their overall health as better. Additionally, people who volunteered more frequently experienced greater benefits.

    3    , the researchers compared it to the effects of people’s income. For a participant earning an average middle-class salary, volunteering was essentially “worth” approximately $1, 100 per year. That means volunteering would make someone as happy as having an extra $1, 100.

Why does volunteering support our mental health? Firstly, volunteering appears to be really rewarding-when we help others, we tend to experience what researchers call a “warm glow. ” Secondly, volunteering is likely to help boost our sense of social connection, which is particularly true for older adults.     4    . You are doing something new and you will gain new skills in other aspects of life, and the young adults can try out leadership opportunities in various practices.

    5    . So, if you’ve been feeling upset or out of sorts lately, join some volunteering activities, which will definitely bring you a sense of control and comfort no matter the frequency or the type of work.

A.Instead of stressing its mental advantages
B.To get a sense of how large the benefits are
C.They also experience improvement in their mental health
D.Volunteering can be a way to benefit our whole well-being
E.Thirdly, people who started to volunteer became happier over time
F.Finally, volunteering can help build professional skills and leadership
