3 . How to Communicate Effectively?

Having good communication skills is important. Effective communication is a skill you can learn no matter what your age, background or experience is.     1    

Choose the right time. As the saying states, there is a time and a place for everything.     2    . Avoid starting discussions about heavy topics late in the evening. Few people will be thrilled to be faced with issues like finances or long range scheduling when they are the most

tired. Instead, deliver messages and conduct discussions about heavy topics in the mornings when people are watchful and more likely to be able to respond clearly.

    3    . This should be done before you attempt to communicate any ideas. If you haven’t already targeted some key points to stick to when communicating, your ideas may become confusing. Key points will act as anchors (锚), bringing focus and clarity to your communication.

Thank your listener(s). Thank the person or group for the time taken to listen and respond.     4    , even if the response to your talk or discussion has been other than you had hoped, end it politely by properly respecting everyone’s input and time.

Communicate eye to eye. Eye contact builds relationship, helps to convince people that you’re trustworthy and displays interest. During a conversation or presentation, it is important to look into the other person’s eyes if possible and maintain contact for a reasonable amount of time.     5    .

4 . After eight years of construction, the Padma Multipurpose Bridge in Bangladesh opened to the public on June 26, reducing travel time from parts of the southwest of the country to the capital Dhaka from seven to eight hours to as little as just 10 minutes.

The 21.5-meter-wide, 6.15-kilometer-long bridge built over the Padma River, the main branch of the Ganges, has two levels with the upper tier having a four-lane highway and the lower tier a single-track railway, according to Wuhan-based China Railway Major Bridge Engineering Group, or MBEC, one of China’s biggest bridge makers. Before that, travelers and goods were transported via boat or ship because of the vast width and fast-flowing nature of the river, and the tendency of the area to flood.

In 2014, the Bangladeshi government awarded MBEC a $1.54-billion contract to build the core structure of the bridge, making it the country’s largest infrastructure(基础建设) project as well as the largest foreign bridge project undertaken by Chinese companies in terms of total cost.

“The construction was much harder than expected as the complex geological conditions brought multiple challenges to us,” said Shen Tao, deputy general manager of the project. “The bridge is located above a river with banks on loose soil, and downpours in the rainy season often caused flooding, bringing us numerous difficulties we had never experienced before.” “During the construction, we had to adjust the design plan to adapt to environmental changes whenever necessary,” he added.

“However, through continuous learning and adaptation, construction teams have greatly improved their abilities including technology, communication and adaptability.” said Wen Wusong, chairman of MBEC. “They demonstrated the strength of China’s road bridge construction to the whole world and the bridge is a model of international cooperation.”

Over the past eight years, the project has created over 50,000 jobs for local residents, according to MBEC.
