A Few Communication Tips
Accept invitations to talk about yourself—on’t be shy! Try to give full answers to questions—explain how you feel an why, rather than simply saying “yes” or “no.” Offer lists of things you like an on’t like.
Ask your hosts to explain iiomatic expressions an slang. These can be har to unerstan at first—an lots of fun to use. For example, “hang on” is equivalent to “one moment, please” or “please wait.”
If someone asks, “Do you unerstan?” be honest! Don’t just say “Yes” for the sake of harmony! Instea, ask for help. Ask if your host unerstans you. Try to rephrase what you’ve sai, or what you’ve hear. It can take effort—but it will always be worth it.
Smile an laugh a lot.
一些沟通技巧
接受邀请谈论自己 ——不要害羞 ! 试着对问题给出完整的答案——解释你的感受和原因，而不是简单地说“是”或“不是”。列出你喜欢和不喜欢的东西。
让你的主人解释习语和俚语。这些东西一开始可能很难理解，而且很有趣。例如， “ hang on ”等同于“ one moment, please ”或“ please wait ”。
如果有人问， “你明白吗 ? ”“要诚实 ! 不要仅仅为了和谐而说“是” ! 相反 , 寻求帮助。问问你的主人是否了解你。试着复述你说过的话，或者你听到的。这需要努力，但它永远是值得的。
经常微笑和大笑。
