新世纪版高一下册《Project： Debating pros and cons》优秀教案设计

Try to add value to those around you. People light up when you recognize something they do well and let them know. It only takes a minute to give someone a compliment or to notice what gifts a person has. It automatically adds value to how they see themselves. Try to be the kind of person who’s always seeing positive attributes in others. Don’t tear someone down.

Learn to listen and talk. Everyone wants to talk. We all have a story to tell. Each of us enjoys having someone listen to what we say. It makes us feel important when someone is truly interested in what we’re saying.

When other people find out you are willing to listen, they will be talking to you! When someone is talking to you, zero in 100 percent on that person. Don’t pretend to listen but really think about something else. That won’t fly in making friends. You’ll be known as a phony.

Meanwhile, don’t put the burden of the entire conversation on someone else. You’ve got to do your part, too. It is learning when to talk that is important. Try not to talk just to hear yourself talking; no one else could get a word in edgewise.

Smiling suggests confidence. There is something fascinating about someone who smiles a lot. We are automatically drawn to someone who is happy. And wearing a smile usually implies the person behind it is approachable. An approachable person makes others feel at ease and comfortable.

Smiles also convey confidence, which is really important when making friends. You don't have to actually feel confident to smile, but when you do, people will think you are. Furthermore, the longer you practice smiling, the sooner your smile will catch up with you. You’ll gain confidence from smiling!

Everyone wants to be in a friendship that has both give and take. Learn to move from the spotlight of attention to focusing on the needs of others. Modesty is extremely attractive.
