How to Say Goodbye
Knowing how and when to say goodbye is often difficult, even in informal situations. But learning to say goodbye appropriately is a skill that will help you keep your relationships and let people know you care. Read on to learn how to recognize opportunities when you leave.
When you're at any kind of party or gathering, or even a one-on-one conversation, it can be difficult to get away. Learning to recognize good opportunities to leave will make a short-term goodbye much easier.
Watch body language.
People don't like telling you that they'd like you to leave. If the host of a party starts cleaning up, or withdraws (退出) from the conversation, gather your friends or belongings and make your exit. If someone starts checking their watch, or seems otherwise restless, it's also time to leave.
Make plans to see each other again.
Even saying, “See you at school tomorrow,” or “Can't wait to see you again at Christmas” keeps the goodbye light and focused forward.
Tell the truth.
Many people expect to come up with a “good excuse” when they're ready to leave.If you want to leave, just say, “I'm going to go now, see you later.”
A. You don't need to.
B. Set up a coffee date.
C. Recognize when to leave.
D. So try and watch for signals.
E. It makes the goodbye easier.
F. It's also easier than it seems sometimes.

What do you do in a situation like this? You're eating dinner with friends at a nice restaurant. You're having a great time when a phone rings at the table next to you. A man takes out his phone and starts talking loudly about problems he's having with his girlfriend. He talks for almost ten minutes! {#blank#}1{#/blank#}
Many people find cell phones useful in their daily lives. But we've all sat next to someone talking too loudly on a cell phone. You may want to tell the loudmouth to end the conversation, but let the management take care of those noisy customers. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} Here are a few rules:
▪Off means off! {#blank#}3{#/blank#} If a sign says "turn off cell phones", don't use your phone.
▪{#blank#}4{#/blank#} Speak softly and for a short time. Try to move away from other people.
▪Lights off, phone off! Never make calls in a theater or at the movies.
▪{#blank#}5{#/blank#} Talking on a cell phone while driving is dangerous. And watch where you're going when you're walking down the streets and talking on the phone.
As more people use cell phones, things are only going to get worse. So, the next time you're getting ready to make a call, stop and consider the people around you.
