Last month we visited Perth, the biggest city in Western Australia, and went to a wild flowers' exhibition (展览). There we saw a large number of wild flowers we had never seen before. We had a wonderful time. Perth is famous for its beautiful wild flowers. In spring, every year Perth has the wild flowers' exhibition. After visiting Perth, we spent a day in the countryside. We sat down and had a rest near a path at the foot of a hill. It was quiet and we enjoyed ourselves. Suddenly we heard bells ringing at the top of the hill. What we saw made us pick up all our things and run back to the car as quickly as we could. There were about three hundred sheep coming towards us down the path.
Australia is famous for its sheep and kangaroos. After a short drive from any town, you will find yourself in the middle of white sheep. Sheep, sheep, everywhere are sheep.
How do you talk with new people when meeting them if you want to leave a good impression? Here are some tips for you.
|
Tip 1 |
You have to show up, which can be a challenge for many of us. You can show up as an observer(旁观者) of other interesting people and let that be a learning experience for you, Before you start talking, it's important to just listen, even if you think you are a wise storyteller. If you are close to a group of people who are discussing a topic, watch their body language and see if they will let you join in their conversation. |
|
Tip2 |
You'd better go in the conversation with a couple of topics to keep it going, or questions to, ask if there is a short stop. Simple things like "How do you know the host?" and "How did you get there?" are always good conversation starters to a certain extent(在—定程度上). |
|
Tip 3 |
Don't fear silences. Awkward(令人尴尬的) silences are common part of talking with people. Just rush to fill them. If you don't want to go on with the conversation, just say you are going to get another drink or something to eat, and find another group to talk with. |
|
Tip 4 |
Relax If you cannot keep a conversation going, or you don't know what you should say next, give yourself a little time to clear your head. Relax, and then turn back into the discussion. |
