In our daily life, we may meet some people who are so shy. It’s perfectly OK to take time to warm up new people. 1.
Start small talks with people you know. Practice social behaviors like eye contact, confident body language, introductions, asking questions, and invitations with the people you feel most comfortable around.
2. Often, the hardest part of talking to someone new is getting started. Think of conversation openers, like introducing yourself, or asking a question. Being ready with a conversation starter (or a few) makes it easier to get to know someone.
Rehearse (排练) what to say. Write down what you want to say beforehand. Rehearse it out loud, maybe even in front of the mirror. Then just do it. Don’t worry if it’s not exactly like what you have practiced or if it’s not perfect. 3. Next time, it’ll be better because it will be easier.
4. Find group activities where you can be with people who share your interests. Give yourself a chance to practice socializing (社交) with these new people, and get to know them slowly.
Most of all, be yourself. It’s OK to try out different conversational ways you know. But say and do what fits your style. 5.
A. Nobody is perfect.
B. It’s easier said than done.
C. Think of some conversation starters.
D. It’s important to work out in groups.
E. Here are some tips for beating shy feelings.
F. Give yourself a chance to take part in activities.
G. Being the real you is the best way to attract new friends.
New research proves it wrong that the loss of one sense may sharpen other senses. A new study from the University of Montreal found that blind people have no sharper sense of smell than the sighted. The loss of sight simply makes blind people pay more attention to how they sense smells, the researchers said.
“If you enter a room in which coffee is boiling, you will quickly look for the coffee machine. However, for a blind person, he or she will only have the smell of coffee as information,” said a researcher, Mathilde Beaulieu-Lefebvre.
“There is a saying that blind people have better smell than the sighted. We are proving it wrong,” said Maurice Ptito, a professor at the University of Montreal. “However, the blind do set themselves apart as they are somewhat better than the sighted at deciding what direction a sound is coming from.”
It is further found that the blind use a certain part of the brain more than the sighted when they smell. They also use the part which is normally used for sight. “That’s interesting because it means that part of the brain is reorganized and used in a new way,” said Ptito.
The research on the sense of smell could lead to new applications that are likely to help guide blind people in their surroundings.
