    People can't see you when you're speaking on the phone, but they can hear you. So, the way you speak is especially important. In fact, researchers have calculated that 80% of communication over the phone is through your tone of voice; and only 20% is from the words you use. Here are our top tips on how to speak over the phone.

1 Facial Expression

    Your facial expression can influence your voice. For example, if you smile, your voice will sound warm and friendly, just the opposite, if you have an angry look on your face, it can make you sound unpleasant.

2 Volume

    If you speak too loudly, you could sound angry. And if you speak too softly, it'll be difficult to hear you. So, speak loudly enough to be heard clearly, but not so loud that you're shouting

3 Pace

    The pace of your voice is how quickly you speak. And this can show how you feel. For example, an angry person might speak faster than normal. Or a downhearted person might speak very slowly. Try speaking a little more slowly than normal. This will make you sound confident, and it'll make it easier for the other person to understand you.

4 Gestures

    Gesturing can influence the tone of your voice. When you gesture, you bring more air into the lungs, which can make your voice sound warmer. Gestures are also useful to help you stress the right words or even find the words you need. The best thing about gesturing during a phone call is that no one can see what you're doing, so you can gesture as wildly as you like!

5 Movement

    If you're feeling nervous, stand up and move around. It will reduce the nervousness in your body and help your voice to sound more confident.

6 Pauses (停顿)

    Using pauses every now and then can help you to slow down. This will make you sound more confident and in control. Also, if you pause after giving some new information, it'll give the other person time to understand it. At the same time, listen to how the other person uses pauses. They could tell you something about the speaker's feeling. For example, when a speaker is really angry, he might use pauses and says, "I…am…so…angry…"

Imagine you are going to give a speech the next day.The night before, you spend a lot of time thinking about the possible mistakes you might make and whether you're prepared enough. Well, you might be overthinking. 

Overthinking means going over the same thought again and again, analyzing( 分 析 ) the simplest situations or events too much. 

According to The Conversation, overthinking comes from one of our primitive instincts(原始 本能). The primitive mind will always see things in the worst possible light.Our brains are always looking for threats(威胁), to make a plan to deal with those threats and keep us safe. 

Some people believe that overthinking may be helpful because it helps us look at a problem from every possible angle(角度) and get ready for what might happen. However, research suggests that overthinking can make us stressed, anxious(焦虑的) and depressed (忧郁的). 

What's more, overthinking might create problems with how you get along with others.As you think the worst, make incorrect guesses, or worry about every little thing others do and say, you might misunderstand their intentions(意图). 

So, instead of sitting and thinking about a problem again and again, you can distract(转移注意 力)yourself for a bit. Your brain might find better ways to solve the problem while you're doing something fun, like gardening(园艺), or even while you're sleeping. 

Also, when you find yourself overthinking, challenge these thoughts. Ask yourself if they make sense and think about other possibilities.It can be hard at first,but recognizing that you are overthinking can help you make a change.

①PUA stands for "Pick-up Artist." It started as a term for people who use clever ways to influence their interactions (交流) with others, especially between lovers. This idea has grown, and now it also means people use tricks to control others in the workplace and online. It's very helpful to know about PUA because it can deeply influence how you feel about your development. Here are some common behaviors to be careful.

②Sometimes people who use PUA tricks criticize a lot. They might tell you that you're always doing things wrong. It is just a way to make you feel sorry about yourself rather than helping you improve. They may also try to keep you away from your friends and family. This makes you depend on them, and gives them more control over you. Another trick is called gaslighting (煤气灯效应). For example, you remember something clearly, but they keep saying it didn't happen. They want you to doubt (怀疑) what you know is true.

③To avoid PUA behaviors, there are several steps you can take. First, learn to tell what healthy friendships and relationships look like. Being confident is also important because it will be not so easy for others to trick you. Besides, you should be brave to say no when something feels wrong. What's more, talking to someone you trust like a teacher can be very useful.

④Knowing these signs and how to deal with them can help you have better relationships. It's like building a strong foundation (基础) for happy and healthy relationships as you get older.

Phryge: The Mascot for 2024 Paris Olympics

The mascot( 吉 祥 物 ) for the 2024 Paris Olympics is a lively character named "Phryge" . Shaped like a triangle, it is red blue and white, mirroring the colors of the French flag. The design draws inspiration from the common Phrygian cap in France, known as the "cap of freedom" . The playful appearance of the mascot is sure to attract people from around the world during the Paris Olympics in July and August this year. 

Olympic Medal Meets Eiffel Tower

The design of the 2024 Paris Olympics medal is inspired by the famous French landmark( 地 标 ) "the Eiffel Tower" . Each medal is made of the iron pieces from the tower. The pieces in its center are in the shape of a hexagon(六边形). On the back side of the medal is a small picture of the Eiffel Tower and the ancient Greek goddess of victory named Nike. Athletes must be very proud and happy when holding these medals. 

Breaking Is Coming to the Olympics

Breaking(霹雳舞) is a lively street dance born in New York during the 1970s. It will be a new official sport of the 2024 Paris Olympics. The best B-boys and B-girls will show their great skills and creativity in one-on-one battles( 对 决 ), where each dancer has 60 seconds to impress the judges with their fast steps, hard poses and crazy spins( 旋转). So you can expect the most exciting performances at the Olympics this summer.
