Does meeting new people make you nervous(紧张的)? If so, you're not alone. Here are some simple choices.
Look your best
Obviously the way that you look like decides people's impression (印象) of you. But you don't need to look like a model to make a good impression. You just need to take care of yourself. Make sure your clothes are clean, tidy and right for the situation. It is said that blue or black are best for job interviews. They change how people see you.
Stand tall
Standing up straight makes you look and feel confident. When you get close to someone, smile to show you're friendly and interested. Then greet them with a firm handshake.
Speak up
Speak loudly and clearly enough that people can hear you. If you don't know what to say, ask questions. Most people enjoy talking about themselves. Listening is just as important as talking. When people are talking, pay attention to what they're saying rather than planning what you'll say next. .
Most importantly, show people you care. Your concern for them will be clear if you smile and listen carefully. Respect other people's time, too. Don't keep them waiting because you arrive late or keep using your cellphone instead of talking to them. Everyone you meet, whether they're a businessperson, a reporter or a bus driver, is important.
A. Don't forget little things like brushing your teeth and washing your hair.
B. Never be late
C. But meeting new people isn't as hard as you might think.
D. Respect people
E. You are stubborn, and others' opinions can't change who you are.
F. The way you stand, sit and move tells others a lot about you.
G. If you're not sure what they mean, ask!

A. Kissing is only for close family or women friends. B. However, Eskimos never greet each other with a bow. C. Everyone understands a smile so don't be afraid to use it! D. In some cultures, it is usual to kiss on the cheek three times! E. This custom probably started because of the freezing weather. F. Bowing was also traditional in many European countries in the past. G. But it is now becoming international, especially in business situations. |
You might think that simple things like saying hello and goodbye are the same in every culture. Think again!
Shaking hands to say hello or goodbye was a Western custom (风俗) at first. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}
Traditionally, the Chinese custom for greeting was to hold one's hands together and nod their head a little.
Japanese people greet each other by bowing (鞠躬). When greeting an older or more important person, it is usual to bow lower and for longer. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} But only men did it.
People in European countries such as Italy often greet each other with a kiss on both cheeks (脸颊). Even men greet each other like this. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}
Eskimos, a group of people living in the very cold northern areas of North America, greet each other by lightly rubbing (摩擦) their noses together. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} Often, Eskimos only leave their eyes and noses uncovered. And the rest of their bodies are covered with warm clothing and their hands with gloves.
When you're not sure what the customs are in a new country, there's one greeting that is the same all over the world: a smile. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}
