Participating (参与) in Class
Class participation is a valuable part of learning. Many students are unwilling to participate in class. Other students participate in class, but do so not correctly. Here is some advice that can help you become an effective class participant.
Do all tasks and readings and go over your notes from previous class periods. This will help to prevent you from making uninformed (无知的) comments or asking unsuitable questions. As you get ready for class, think about important questions and concerns that may appear in class. Be sure that you are prepared to deal with these.
Try to sit close to the front of the class. Besides, you can hear what the teachers say clearly.
Listen to what the other students say. You can then build on their comments to make your own. Be active when you respond to something another student says. You can disagree, but don't go into an "attack mode".
Don't be afraid to be wrong. You can learn from being wrong. Don't be afraid to ask questions. This is a good learning skill. Also, the chances are that other students in the class have the same questions as you do, and they will appreciate your asking.
Be sure that your questions and comments are closely connected with the class topic.
Don't waste the time of the teacher and other students by going off way. Don't take it in person if others disagree with what you say.
A. Creating a personal connection helps you feel more comfortable about participating in class.
B. Be confident that your opinions will be valued by your teacher and other students.
C. It's hard to stay unconcerned when you are near to the teacher.
D. Be sure that you are well prepared before coming to class.
E. This may be because they are shy or fearful of being judged and criticized (批评).
F. Your class should be a good place for giving opinions and taking advice.

A. He smiled back at the baby. B. Well, force yourself to smile. C. Smile gets much easier with practice. D. So, naturally, we are glad to see them. E. Your smile brightens the lives of all who see it. F. The effect of a smile is powerful, even when it is unseen. G. We should give others a real smile, a smile that comes from within. |
Actions speak louder than words. A smile says, "I like you. You make me happy."
That's why dogs make such a hit. They are so glad to see us that they almost jump out of their skins. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}
A baby's smile has the same effect. Have you ever been in a doctor's waiting room and looked around at all the sad faces waiting impatiently to be seen? There were six or seven patients waiting when a young woman came in with a nine-month-old baby. She sat down next to a gentleman who was more than a little impatient about the long wait for service. The baby just looked up at him with that great big smile that is so characteristic of babies. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} Soon he struck up a conversation with the woman about her baby and his grand-children and then the entire reception room joined in, and the boredom and tension were changed into a pleasant and enjoyable experience.
{#blank#}3{#/blank#} Telephone companies throughout the U.S have a program called "phone power which is offered to employees who use the telephone for selling their Services or products. In this program they suggest that you smile when talking on the phone. Your "smile" comes through in your voice.
You don't feel like smiling? {#blank#}4{#/blank#}If you are lone, force yourself to whistle or hum a tune or sing. Act as if you were already happy, and that will tend to make you happy.
Your smile is a messenger of your goodwill. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} To someone who has seen a dozen people frown or turn their faces away, your smile is like the sun breaking through the clouds. Especially when that someone is under pressure from his bosses, his customers, his teachers or parents or children, a smile can help him realize that all is not hopeless-that there is joy in the world.
A. And they lost people's respect as a result. B. Of course, it is important to use proper humor at work. C. Everyone agreed that their work needed to be more fun. D. There are plenty of ways to bring humor into the workplace. E. So take a moment to laugh and help us all to feel happier at work. F. In addition, laughter can brighten up the feelings of everyone around. G. The most obvious way to make your job fun is to learn to find some humor. |
The sense of humor is one of the most powerful tools you have for getting rid of any source of stress in your life. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} We can't over-estimate the importance of the sense of humor too much. In fact, making work fun helps employees perform best and provide quality work.
{#blank#}2{#/blank#} Telling jokes and stories and using team-building games in companies make people have more fun at work. Some companies even have talent shows or hold dance or sports competitions. It just gives employees a break in the day and a chance to laugh at themselves.
{#blank#}3{#/blank#} Humor should be about laughing with rather than laughing at others. We all have probably heard jokes that seemed to bother or hurt others. For example, jokes making fun of employees for their weight, race, religion, etc. are not only harmful to the person, but also can create an unfriendly working environment.
Even if the jokes were intended to be humorous, they may not be received that way. I have even heard speakers make slight dirty jokes on the audience, thinking they would be seen as cool. In fact the audience thought the speakers had no taste. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} In another case, I heard about a manager who was out partying with co-workers and kidding about how the boss liked certain people more than others. Such jokes actually had damaging effects on people in the company.
Humor, if proper, can brighten up the workplace and reduce some of the stress we are all experiencing. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}
