No matter your background, effective communication is an important life skill that everyone needs. Whether it’s       1     backyard BBQ, family dinner, or departmental meeting, without strong communication skills, it’s difficult to get your point across effectively. And when communication     2    (fall) short, it’s usually not pretty!

Whether you’re a new mom just back from maternity leave(产假)or an       3    (experience)corporate employee with 15 years of service, your communication     4     (skill) could likely use some brushing up. Wherever you are in your life or career, it’s important to stop occasionally     5     (evaluate)whether your communication methods have been holding you back.

Keep in mind     6    communication changes as society and technology evolves. The way we communicate now is       7     (definite)not the same as it was ten years ago —texting, WeChat, QQ, and the like change the face of communication. Plus, your communication methods change,       8    (depend) on the environment you’re in. If you’re your own boss like me, you’ll likely need to switch it up a little now that you’re representing your own brand instead of working     9     someone else.

No matter your situation or goals, as our lives and situations change, we must constantly develop and adapt. The more conscious you are of your communication, the more it     10    (improve)!

8 . “How are you?” These are the three most useless words in the world of communication. The person asking doesn’t really want to know, and the person responding doesn’t tell the truth.     1    

But the key to making the most out of small talk, according to Harvard researchers, is, to simply ask the other person follow-up questions. In a series of experiments, researchers analyzed more than 300 online conversations and found that those who were asked more meaningful follow-up questions (a.k.a. questions that aren’t “how are you?” or “what do you do?”), found the other person much more likable.

So how do you move from tongue-tied to being an interesting person? It depends on questions you start with, and then you can focus on the stream of follow-up questions.     2    

    3    

Open your eyes before you open your mouth. Find something to focus on in your surroundings, like the piece of art on the wall, a family picture on their desk, a race car helmet, scattered coins from various countries and so on. There’s bound to be something that will spark small talk and help lead the conversation into unique follow-up questions.

Share some news (that actually happened).

If you have “news”, share it: “I adopted a pet over the weekend” or “My 6-year-old rode a bike for the first time yesterday”. Believe it or not, most people actually do want to know more about others, especially if they both work at the same company.

If you’re new to a company and leading a team, for example, start your first meeting by going around the room and asking each person to say one interesting thing that recently happened in their lives.     4    

It’s not just what you say.

No matter what or how much you say, your tone of voice, facial expression and eye contact will broadcast so much more. In person, look at the other person when you speak, not at the conference table or the wall.     5     It’s not just what you say, but how you say it, that will help others connect with you.

A．Avoid any small talk in our daily life.

B．Be in the moment and observe your surroundings.

C．It will also contribute to your success in your work.

D．On the phone, smile — it will make your voice sound warmer.

E．What follows is a meaningless exchange with zero connection.

F．Here are some strategies on having a meaningful conversation.

G．Due to the momentary sharing, you’ve allowed everyone to feel more personally and genuinely connected with each other.

Some people have a vivid sense of future self, which feels     2     (extreme) close to their current identity. These people tend to be more responsible for their money     3     they are keen to act in a way     4     will make life easier in the years ahead than present. Many other people see their future self as a separate person that has little     5     (relevant) to their present identity and,     6     consequence, they are far less worried about the long-term consequences of their actions.

You could almost think about your future self as a relationship that should     7     (pay) great efforts to develop. Thinking more about whom we will be in the future has a profound effect on our health, happiness and     8     (finance) security.

This encourages people to feel a greater sense of link with their future self, thus     10     (prepare) for positive behavioral change.

C．They also have a positive impact on your health

D．They see you and love you for who you truly are
