1、   In life, there are things or people that are important to us or even changed us. But there is one person I can remember the most.

She was my English teacher when I was in junior high school. At first, I thought 1. English was so difficult that I gave up trying to learn it. But I changed my mind because of her. She was very kind to me and always told me I was the best. 2.She grew hope in my heart, and I began to become interested in learning English.

In the beginning, it was so hard. She often said, “There aren’t any shortcuts(捷径)in school. 3.如果你想学好英语,你得努力.” I remembered these words and they helped me a lot. I decided to do anything to overcome(克服)future difficulties and learn the language. With her help, I did better and became more confident(自信的)as well. 4.My teacher showed me how interesting and colorful English was.

What’s more, she was a true friend to me. 5.我们进述彼此的快乐和悲伤. She gave me lots of good advice. She was always there when I was not happy.

Maybe you will face some difficulties that you can’t solve. But don’t worry. Look at the people around you — you will find someone who can be there for you.

21、   Have you ever crossed the road to avoid talking to someone you meet? Would love to go to a party and talk confidently（自信地） to every guest? And are you nervous about the idea of being at a new environment in another country? Don’t worry—we can help you!

You needn’t worry if you have good communication skills. And they are easy to learn. Here are a few ideas to help you.

◆ Learn how to do small talk

Small talk is very important and prepares for more serious conversations. Be prepared! Have some conversation openers ready. For example：

 Think of a news story—not too serious, e. g. a story about a film or a sports star.

 Think of “safe” things you can ask people their ideas about music, sports, films, etc.

 Think of topics（话题）that you would avoid if you were talking to strangers—and avoid talking about them! That way, you don’t lose your confidence!

 Train your listening skills

Listening is a skill which most people don’t have, but communication is a two-way process—speaking and listening. Always remember—it is not polite if you talk too much. Here are some ideas to make you a better listener:

Do …

 show that you are listening by using encouraging noises or something like smiling, nodding, saying “uh—huh” and “OK”, etc.

 keep good eye contact（接触）

 ask for more information to show your interest

Don’t…

 look at your watch or mobile phone

 look away from the person who is talking to you

 change the subject

 finish other people’s sentences for them

Always remember: Talk to a man about himself and he will speak to you for hours!

◆ Learn the rules

If you go to a new environment in another country, remember that rules can be different. In some countries, for example, you have to arrive on time at a party; in other countries, you don’t need to. In most places, you don’t have to take a gift to a party—but find out first!
