meeting on time. if you begin on time, group members who show up late will realize the value of time. beginning on time reflects skill as an effective time manager and sets an example for others to follow.select a note-taker or arrange to have the meeting audio-taped. you may need to refer back to an issue that was discussed during the meeting at a later date. good record-keeping is a sign of a good meeting manager as well.learn to listen. so many times we think we are going to say and, in the process, block out important points that other group members may be contributing. additionally, we often hear only what we want to hear, rather than really listening to other people. meetings that are characterized by effective listening are successful meetings.keep the discussion on track. many times important issue can get sidetracked in a meeting, especially when everyone has a different opinion about the topic. if an unexpected conflict develops once the meeting is in progress, either appoint a subcommittee to look into the problem, or ask participants involved in the conflict to meet with you after the meeting. doing so will help keep the discussion on track and minimize the chances of wasting participants valuable time.give everyone an opportunity to be heard. some people tend to control meetings, whereas others wait to be asked their opinions. as the leader of the meeting, you need to keep an open mind and make sure everyone feels welcome to contribute and express ideas without criticism.end on time. if you said the meeting would last no longer than one hour, make sure the meeting lasts for only one hour. running late with a meeting makes members late for other appointments, increases the chances that the members will mentally leave the meeting and reduces your reliability as an effective meeting manager.advice on how to _71_rules for meeting management _74_start the meeting on time. _75_and set an example.select a note-taker or_72_. need to refer to an

celebrations which are part of britains folklore (民俗). lughnasadh is a celebration at the beginning of august. a custom connected with it is to make corn dolls with corn from the last of the harvest. the doll is saved until the following spring when it is put back into the earth with new seeds. people believe that the doll contains the spirit of the corn and will bring a good harvest. christmas too is full of ancient customs. the traditions of lighting a fire and decorating the home with an evergreen have their roots in times long before christianity. the fire is to keep away evil spirits and fill the home with light and the evergreen is valued because it is a sign that life continued during those cold, dark days.not all the origins of ancient traditions are remembered, however. the roots of morris dancing, for example, are not known. this is a dance in which men (and sometimes women ) dressed in white dance together. some people think the dance may be from pre-christmas times, and others say it was introduced into britain in the late 15th century and that it comes from moorish dancing. in any case, it is interesting to see that morris dancing is not a dying tradition. there are morris dancing groups in places as far away as new zealand and san francisco!although these customs have been passed down to us from forgotten generations, they themselves have not been forgotten and continue to play a part in our modern lives. every week groups of individuals regularly meet to sing, play instruments or practice ancient dances and this month people all over britain shall be preparing their homes for the ancient celebration we now call christmas, lighting fires and putting up christian trees, just as their great-greatgrandfathers once did.81. why are corn dolls used to
