To communicate well is to understand and to be understood. Communication can be successful only when both the sender and the receiver understand the same information.Good communication skills are keys to success in life, work and relationships. Without effective(有效的) communication, a message can turn into error, misunderstanding, or even disaster.In todays highly informational and technological environment, it has become more important to have good communication skills. Here are some important steps to communicate effectively.Know what you want to say and why. Understand clearly the purpose of your message. Know to whom you are communicating and why.How will you say it? We all know that its not always what you say, but how you say it, that matters. Begin by making eye contact. You show trust and confidence when you look at others in the eyes when you speak. Second, pay attention to your body language, since it can say so much more than your words. By standing with your arms easily at your side, you tell others that you are open to hearing what they have to say.Communication is a two-way street. After you have said what you have to say, stop and listen. Practise your listening skills. Be considerate of others who are talking. Listen carefully and never cut them off.1. What is communication? 2. What can a message turn into if you dont have effective communication? 3.

What advice will you give about good communication skills? (请自拟一句作答) 五It seems that a family just isnt complete without a pet. But if pets arent suitable to a familys lifestyle or environment, they can quickly lead to problems such as stress or arguments (争执). To save yourself and your family such problems, treat this decision seriously. When choosing a pet, people must consider the familys health. Many people are allergic (过敏的) to cats and dogs. Perhaps a dog or cat with short hair will be fine. And a dog might not be the best choice for a child who is naughty（调皮的）because the dog might bite him or her. Some people can also have problems with certain pets. Its a good idea to spend a little time with the pet before making your decision. Consider the quality of life of the pet, too. If a pet is used to having space to run around, it can quickly develop psychological (心理的) problems when it is kept in a small flat all day. If pets are allowed to run about in areas with lots of cars and buses, they can meet an early end. Cats shouldnt be brought into homes that already have large dogs because they wont be able to friendly to each other. The decision as to what kind of pet to choose is very important. If you find the right one to suit everyone in the family and their lifestyle, then its time to choose one. Remember that your decision is important because it can have influences that last for many years.Considerations When 1 a PetParagraph OutlineSupporting DetailsImportance of choosing a pet A family 2 a pet seems to be complete.

Last week, I became a parent! Calm down, Geoff. This was only a project wedidat school, but let me explain.Every week, our teacher gives us a newtopicto discuss in class. Last Monday, however, he asked us a very interesting question “Do youthinkit is difficult to be a parent?” Some of the students said they thought it was easy, as parents never have to do any homework! Our teacher said he wouldnt tell us the answer. He said he would let us be “a parent” for a week. He wassurewe would have the answer by the end of the week.The rest of the lesson was spent making flour babies. We first took some bags and filled them with flour (面粉) in order to make the “babies” as heavy as real ones. We then tied the bags very tight, so the flour would not fall out. After that, we used cardboard (纸板) to make some arms, legs and a face for our flour babies, and then dressed them in old pieces of clothing. My baby looked so strange, as I am not very good at art, but it was great fun.When we had finished, our teacher gave us all notebooks and told us we had to write down our experience with the babies for the whole week. We were told we had to carry them round with us every day, and look after them like real babies! That was really difficult. For example, one of my friends has quite a bad memory, and left his flour baby on the bus by accident. Another of my friends carried the baby upside down (we are supposed to carry them like real babies, with our arms under their “necks” at all times.)We also had to take the flour babies home with us, as well. My parents found it quite funny, as I was supposed to feed the baby in the evening, and then get it ready for bed. After doing that and finishing my homework, there was no time to chat with my friends on the phone, nor watch my favorite television programmes. Every evening, I was so tired that I fell asleep very quickly. Yet only a few hours later my alarm clock woke me up. For that week, I had to get up three times every night to feed the flour baby! In the end, I got so little sleep that I had black bags under my eyes.It was a difficult time, but now the project is finished. I feel I have learnt that it is not easy to be a responsible (负责任的) parent. I think it also gave me a new perspective (观点) on what my parents have done for me.Let me know your news and hope to hear from you soon.All the bestRick1.Why did the students make the babies by filling the bags with flour?_2.

Some users use apps like Tik Tok (抖音) and Kuaishou because they think it is fun to share short videos about their lives, while others have different purposes as well.A 12-year-old user named Elsa has up to 2.7 million followers on Tik Tok. The girl has shared videos about her dancing studies since last July. One of the videos won her about one million fans. “I feel really happy to go on sharing happiness with other people by short videos,” said Elsa. As some videos are about the latest news, a group of users depend on them to get information. To some other users, they have a different purpose. “Because I cant spend many hours watching a complete video and I am a very impatient person. I dont like waiting for a program to end. I prefer to watch short videos of wonderful parts in a concert or a TV series,” said Wang Zhihao.However, some young Chinese feel bored with some short videos. “Killing time is the main reason for me to watch the short videos, but many are almost the same, so I think it is a waste of time.

Yes, it is a CCTV program that uses m 1 and fantastic ways to show ancient treasures of our country. “We really want to make our traditional c 2 known by more people,” said the director.“National Treasure” is made up of 10 episodes (剧集) on Sundays.

Instead, it is even more humorous and e 6 to understand than others. The director used a new way to tell stories. For example, the actor Wang Kai played the role of Emperor Qianlong and introduced a special vase. From his acting, we know how ancient people s 7 the problems they met when making the vase
