Could you give me five minutes? vs Go away.
When you're busy and can't do anything else, just saying "Go away" is certainly not right. You can keep everyone happy by saying "Could you give me five minutes?"
Excuse me. vs Move.
Telling someone to "Move out of the way" is very impolite. The next time someone is in your way, saying "Excuse me" is a good idea.
I'm afraid I can't. vs No.
People will think it impolite to simply say "No". The next time you have to refuse an invitation, you'd better say, "I'm afraid I can't."
Would you mind...? vs Stop it!
Someone doing something you don't like, and perhaps being impolite. To get the result you want, it's not a good idea to shout "Stop talking on your phone in the cinema!" and it's a good choice to ask them politely with the sentence, "Would you mind not using your phone in the cinema, please?"
How to find the perfect career
Too many people are not satisfied with their professional career (事业) and are “stuck” in situations that do not make them happy. Here are some wonderful actions you can take to begin the path to a truly happy career.
Talk to your friends.
Ask them, “what do you think I am best at”, or “what do you think I enjoy doing most”. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}However, their advice may help you decide what you should do.
{#blank#}2{#/blank#}
Read some interesting magazines, books, newspapers or novels. They will give you a constant flow of ideas and keep the mind rich.
Talk to the happiest and most successful people you know.
{#blank#}3{#/blank#} Be serious with your questions. And see if there is anything you can learn from them. Have these people become your teachers and friends.
Keep a journal(日记).
Writing down your ideas is an important practice for your career growth. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}You never know when great ideas will come to your mind!
Develop patience.
You may want a change in your career right now. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}Anyway, doing the practices mentioned above will bring about the right chance much faster.
A. Read as widely as possible. B. This may seem like a strange conversation at first. C. Ask them how they realized their dreams. D. Changing careers can be very difficult. E. Talk to your family members. F. But it is necessary to be patient and wait for the right chance to come. G. Carrying a notebook with you at all times is also a great idea. |
The Lost Rules of Etiquette
Etiquette, or good manners, used to be the glue that held society together. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} Sadly, these days it has mostly gone by the wayside. This list is several best rules of etiquette that have now disappeared.
Opening the Door
In days gone by, a gentleman would always open doors for ladies. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} This has now almost entirely disappeared-and it is not entirely the fault of the men. I have seen women laugh at men for opening a door for them. They seem to be confusing manners with chauvinism(大男子主义).
Writing Thank-You Notes
In days gone by, whenever a person received a gift, they would write a thank-you note as soon as possible. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} Parents would sit children down after a birthday or Christmas and coach them in their first thank-you note. It is a shame that gift giving has now become a virtual obligation and the idea of a thank-you note would be laughed at.
{#blank#}4{#/blank#}
We seem to have completely lost the concept of correct timing when it comes to parties these days. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} After all, a party normally has a guest of honor-this is usually the oldest woman present. It was considered extremely rude in the past to leave a party before the guest of honor-and once the guest of honor left, it was a signal to all that they should begin their on preparations to leave.
A. Arriving on Time. B. Leaving at the Right Time. C. People leave with various excuses. D. It enabled people to get on well with each other. E. This rule was true even if the giver was a relative. F. It could be the lady they were driving, or a stranger. G. We've thrown away the concept of a guest of honor at will. |
