2 . The ability to communicate information accurately, clearly and as intended, is a vital life skill and something that should not be overlooked.    1    Here are some suggestions to make it.

Be open. There needs to be a give-and-take when it comes to sharing information with one another. To deepen intimacy (亲近). people need to open up to you. but you also have to he willing to let others in and share details about your experiences, emotions, and opinions.    2    

Listen actively. It involves being engaged with what your conversation partner is talking about.    3     You' re reflecting an their words, and asking questions you may have. Listening shows that you care, It shows that you are interested in the other person's life.

Use appropriate body language and eye contact.     4     For example, using direct eye contact and body language that indicates openness, such as uncrossed arms, can help to get across that a person is ready and willing to listen and to speak openly.

    5     Being open doesn't mean you should give others unlimited access to your thoughts.feelings, or time. There should be some limits on when you spend time together or how often and how long you stay together. It can also involve how much you care about each other's values, goals.emotions, and limitations.

4 . Every child faces friendship problems at some time, in some way, but generally speaking, there are three main problems that keep children from being part of a group.

    1    

Kids who do too little in social situations could be ignored by the other kids and may have a hard time making friends. They are usually too shy and just wait for other kids to come to them.     2    . Then they can make friends in any social groups. These tricks include how to greet people friendly and show their good will through small acts of kindness.

Doing too much

We see this problem in kids who are always ready to cut in a talk or a game.     3    . If they continue their annoying behavior after a kid asks them to stop, they are likely to be disliked by the group. Therefore, these children need to learn proper ways of stopping, such as saying “sorry”, or sitting on their hands and keeping their mouths shut.

    4    

Some kids have trouble making friends because they behave in ways that set them apart from the other kids in the social groups. For example, they may always try to be funny on purpose, or have strange interests and habits.

Every child is unique, but they have to learn to connect with other kids in natural ways.     5    .

5 . A study published by Whillans and her colleagues found that 48 percent of college freshmen in their second term at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver believed that their friends had made more friends than they had since school began. Thirty-one percent felt the opposite.

“Since social activities, like eating or studying with others, tend to happen in cafes and libraries where they are easily seen, students might overestimate (高估) how much their friends are socializing because they don’t see them eating and studying alone,” says Frances Chen, the study’s senior author and a professor in the UBC psychology department.

A second, smaller study they published at the same time shows that feeling left out made the students pretty unhappy. “This was surprising”, Whillans says, “because many high-achieving people—the ones most likely going to college—believe they’re better equipped than their peers (同龄人) to handle challenges. But when peers appear to be doing better socially, that can contribute to feelings that there’s something wrong with us.”

While this study did not look specially at the influence of social media, other studies have shown that the way people use social tools to present only the good side makes others feel lonely and separated. “Social media always gives us the idea that other people are more social than us,” Whillans says. “We often fail to communicate when we fail, and that might be bad for us and also for our social network.” In the new study, first-year students in the sample of more than 1,000 students reported having 3.63 close friends on average at UBC, but they believed their friends had 4. 15 close friends.

8 . Thank-You Emails After a Job Interview

Your hard work toward getting a job is not over when the interview ends. Following every interview, it’s required that you send a thank-you note to your interviewer. Some tips are as follows.

    1     Keep a formal and professional tone in your thank-you email, even if the interview is a laid-back (安详放松的) one. Keep in mind that the interviewer may forward your email to others to review. Do not refer to the interviewer by his first name unless he introduced himself that way. Avoid greetings like “Hey”.     2    

Express excitement. In the first sentence of your email, thank the interviewer for his time and show your interest in the position. For example, write, “    3     I enjoyed learning more about your company, and I would love to be a part of the team.” Include information that you learned during the interview or through your research about the organization.

Add related information. Thank-you emails are a chance to add information about your skills, experience and qualifications (资历).     4     If the interviewer asked for further information, include it in your thank-you email.

Be modest (谦虚的).     5     Even if the interviewer said that you have a good chance of landing the job, do not make yourself too proud.

9 . Social events can be frightening for a woman because they usually involve huge crowds. Some manage to become the life of the party like a natural.    1    . Fortunately, there are ways that can help you become the centre of attention during any event.

    2    . People always try to look their best at social gatherings. Therefore, you should spend time dealing with your hair and face beforehand. Besides, a beautiful and comfortable dress will help improve your confidence ahead of the party. For events, ladies must always prefer heels to flats.

Being the life of the party means you have to turn heads as soon as you enter the room.    3    , you should carry yourself with confidence. Start walking like a beauty queen and pose like a model when you reach the hall. With a grand entrance, you’ll be in the conversations of the party guests.

Keep yourself active at the party. Don’t sit in a corner and wait for people to talk to you.    4    , you should acknowledge them with smiles or hugs. Don’t let the thought of becoming the life of the party pull you away from having a fun time with your friends.

There will be friendly strangers looking to start a conversation with you during the party. If someone approaches you with kind intentions, you may act in return for their effort. Getting to know other people in social events will help improve your confidence.    5    .

Some people turn out to be the centre of attention, even if they don’t follow the steps above. The important thing is that you’re having fun, which is better than becoming the life of the party.
