How to Make a Great First Impression
You've heard it a million times already, but it really does take but a few seconds to make that all-important first impression(印象). Here are some easy ways for you to impress your classmates or teachers.
Before you shake hands with somebody, make sure that your hands are clean. The handshake should not be too strong or weak. Most people use their right hands, unless they have a reason to use the left.
Be on time
When meeting someone for the first time, arriving on time is as important as breathing. You may have an excuse, but that will leave the person who hardly knows you with a bad impression. .It's better to be hanging around the place than be stuck in traffic.
Introduce yourself and ask for names
Make sure you properly introduce yourself. Ask for their name in a polite way. This will increase the chances of their remembering your name in the future. Always remember to stand up when greeting someone and be sure to introduce them to anyone you're with.
Make good conversation
To get the most out of your discussion, try to find something common between the two of you. A person will feel more comfortable with someone they can relate to(产生共鸣).
A. Use body language
B. Have a proper handshake
C. Repeat the name and use it later in conversation.
D. As a general rule, plan to arrive about 30 minutes early.
E. It could be a similar taste in clothes or a common hobby.
F. You'll be in serious trouble if you leave them with a bad impression.

If you're looking for a challenging situation to practice your English, pick up the phone. Not being able to see the other person and the body language can make the chatting difficult. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} Here are some tips to guide you through an average phone conversation in English.
