People often say you never get a second chance to make a first impression, and that's actually quite true.After all, making a good first impression is all about making others feel good when spending time with them. The following tips will help you make a positive impression every time.
Dress appropriately
That means dressing up or putting on nice, clean, situation-appropriate clothes for social situations. It isn't difficult and it doesn't have to cost you much, either.
Be aware of your body language
Words express very little of what you say. Body language can tell someone a lot about your mood and confidence level. Eye contact is an easy way to make others feel comfortable, important and special. Nervous body language can make others uncomfortable and anxious. Try to be aware of your body language when communicating with others.
Respect the opinions of others
Not everyone will have the same opinion with you, and friendly disagreements can be a gateway to a great conversation. Respect other people's right to have their own opinion. Respect the opinions of others even if you disagree with them.
People love talking about themselves, but generally, you want to be careful of taking over the conversation. By listening carefully to what others are saying, you are not only making them feel important, but you can gather cues you need to keep the conversation going and bridge to new topics.
A. Be a careful listener.
B. Show an interest in every person you meet.
C. Smile especially when first meeting someone.
D. Make sure you look nice whenever you meet someone new.
E. Meeting new people and starting conversations is often challenging.
F. Others will want to be with you and help you make a good impression.
G. Don't force others to believe what you believe or to see things only as you see them.
We've all experienced peer pressure (同伴压力). It happens to everybody. However, people have different reactions. Confident people refuse to do things they don't want to do, but shy and anxious people often give in. It may be because they want to be liked. It may be because they worry that their friends will make fun of them, or perhaps they're just curious about trying something new. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}
It's hard being the only one who says no and the question is: how do you do it? {#blank#}2{#/blank#} If you think that missing maths, or smoking, or going somewhere you know your parents wouldn't like is a bad idea then the answer is simple: don't do it. It's your decision, nobody else's. You don't need to be aggressive. You don't need to shout and scream, but you must be confident and you must be firm. You need to say, “No thanks. I don't want to do that.”
Being on your own against everybody else is very hard, so it can really help to have at least one other peer, or friend, who will say no too. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} You want friends who will support you when you're in trouble. You don't want people who will always agree with the majority. Remember, the most popular people aren't always the most trustworthy.
{#blank#}4{#/blank#} — You can learn a lot from people your own age. They can teach you great football skills or the best way to do your maths homework. They can recommend music and advise you on fashion. And don't forget you can tell them things too, and that always feels great. So, find friends who have similar interests. And remember, friendship isn't about feeling depressed and guilty. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}
A. Choose your friends carefully. B. Firstly, you must decide what you believe in. C. It's about sharing experiences and having fun. D. Of course, peer pressure isn't completely bad. E. It may be because they were all born to be stubborn. F. Depression and guilt will surely give you peer pressure. G. Whatever the reason, some people end up doing things they really don't want to. |
