It has been added to the Oxford English Dictionary.People in English - speaking countries now understand more Chinese words and their spelling in pinyin, according to a recent report by the China Foreign Languages Publishing Administration.The CFLPA studied 50 media platforms in eight English - speaking countries, including the US, the UK and India. The report listed the top 100 Chinese words that people in these countries use the most.“Shaolin”, a place in China that is famous for kung fu, was at the top of the list. Other popular words include “yin yang”, “gugong”, “nihao”, “wushu”, “qi”, “qigong”, “renminbi” and “majiang”.Some of the words are related not only to Chinese culture, but also politics, economics and technology.

Here are several skills that good talkers have. If you follow the skills, theyll help people feel relaxed and make friends with them quickly.First of all, good talkers ask questions. Almost anyone, no matter how shy he is, will answer a question. One well-known businesswoman says, At business lunches, I always ask people what they did that morning.

Real listening also means not just listening to words, but to tones of voice. If the voice sounds dull, then, its time for you to change the subject.Finally, good talkers know well how to deal with the moment of saying goodbye. If youre saying good-bye, you may give him a firm handshake and say, Ive really enjoyed meeting you. If you want to see that person again, dont keep it a secret.
