Ways to make a great first impression
You've heard it a million times already, but it really does take but a few seconds to make that all-important first impression (印象). Here are some easy ways for you to impress your classmates or teachers.
Before you shake hands with somebody, make sure that your hands are clean. The handshake should not be too strong or weak. Most people use their right hands, unless they have a reason to use the left.
Be on time
When meeting someone for the first time, arriving on time is as important as breathing. You may have an excuse, but that will leave the person who hardly knows you with a bad impression. It's better to be hanging around the place than be stuck in traffic.
Introduce yourself and ask for names
Make sure you properly introduce yourself. Ask for their name in a polite way. This will increase the chances of their remembering your name in the future. Always remember to stand up when greeting someone and be sure to introduce them to anyone you're with.
Make good conversation
To get the most out of your discussion, try to find something common between the two of you. A person will feel more comfortable with someone they can relate to (产生共鸣).
A. Use body language
B. Have a proper handshake
C. Repeat the name and use it later in conversation.
D. As a general rule, plan to arrive about 30 minutes early.
E. It could be a similar(相似的) taste in clothes or a common hobby.
F. You'll be in serious trouble if you leave them with a bad impression.
G. However, don't have your left hand in your pocket because this appears impolite.
A. But are esports really sports? B. All like playing computer games. C. It's not easy being a professional gamer, though. D. But this wasn't a football, basketball or tennis match. E. It is certain that esports will come into the 2024 Olympics. F. In fact, China and South Korea do classify esports as sports. G. If esports are not as important as sports now, they definitely will be in the near future. |
Last summer over 12,000 fans were at Wembley Arena in London, shouting and cheering. Thousands more were watching online. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} It was esports, or competitive computer gaming.
Millions of people in the UK play computer games for fun. Some of them have become professional gamers, playing games as their full-time job. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} They practice for ten or more hours a day, five or six days a week. They do exercises like typing something and trying to type it faster and faster. They also study videos of other players and plan ways to beat them.
{#blank#}3{#/blank#} Are players athletes? Some say no. Esports players don't need to run, jump, throw or do big physical actions. At the moment, the UK government classifies esports as kinds of games, not as sports.
But others say yes: esports are sports. Players do need some physical skills, especially hand-eye coordination, reflexes, accuracy and timing. If darts, snooker and shooting are classified as sports, then perhaps esports should be too.
{#blank#}4{#/blank#} And they will be an official medal sport in the Asian Games starting from 2022. Next step: the Olympics?
For many esports fans and players, though, the most important thing is that esports are growing in popularity and importance. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}
