少购买新东西

Could you live for one month without buying anything new? Buy Nothing New Month started in Australia in 2010. It challenges people once a year to buy nothing new—except food, products used for hygiene, and medicine—for 30 days.

The aim is to encourage people to be less wasteful. It also makes us think about the influence our shopping habits have on the environment. But the challenge is not simply about going out without buying anything. People can find other creative ways to get the things they want. Here are a few examples of how to buy nothing new.

Shopping secondhand

Many people shop for secondhand products at places like thrift stores. You can usually find lots of things at good prices, and your money often goes to a good cause. And while you're there, why not give away something you no longer use so that someone else can buy it?

Swapping

With the Internet, swapping is easier than ever before. There are many websites, such as swap.com, where you can post a photo of something you don't need. Then, other users can offer something as a swap.

Upcycling

Upcycling involves turning something you no longer need into something much more useful. For example, you can turn an empty drink bottle into a beautiful vase, or an old door into an interesting table.

So why not try the challenge for yourself? You can be a friend to the environment and also to your wallet.

29、If you are going to apply for a job. Be prepared for the kinds of interviews you can expect. One type of interviews is the telephone interview. Here are some tips for telephone interviews:

___________ the questions. Before the interview, guess and write down the questions you might be asked. Practice the answers orally until you are ___________ yourself. The questions can be about your working experiences, skills and achievements.

Keep your notes handy. Have any key information next to the phone, ___________ your notes about the company and the questions you have prepared for. Then you can easily get the information you need. In this way, you will sound more prepared.

Avoid ___________ topics. When you are asked how much money you would expect monthly, it’s not wise if you give no response. But it’s not right to give an exact number at once. Try to be open to discussion, so you’d better say something like, “If this is the right job for me, I believe we can come to an agreement on pay.”

Push for a face-to-face meeting. At the end of the interview, don’t forget to sell yourself. You can say something like, “I am very interested in working in your company. If possible I’d be really ___________ to see some of your managers. I am free either Tuesday afternoon or Wednesday morning. Which would be better for you?”

Try to rearrange surprise interviews. If you receive an interview call without your expectation, you can ___________ ask them to arrange another time for the interview, so you can be better prepared. Try something like, “I am sorry but I can’t do it right now. Can I call you back tomorrow after work at 6 p.m.?”

After the telephone interview, only a few are left for face-to-face interviews, so get prepared and good luck!
