Today, you will see a lot of marriages and relationships being ended, why is that? People who used to love each other so deeply have now cut off all sorts of communication and even blocked each other from anywhere. 【小题2】 No one deserves to go through this sort of agony which is why we must enhance our communication skills in any kind of relationship.

In any kind of relationship, it takes a while to build and promote trust, that much is natural. 【小题3】 It is true that trust cannot be built in a day which is why we must strive for it.

I was lucky enough to have a chance to study in the United States as an international student from the Ukraine when I was fourteen years old. I went to a wonderful school,West Catholic High School, for my freshman year.

I remember my first day at that school as if it were yesterday. I was very nervous, and I could feel my heartbeat on the tips of my toes. My main fear was that I would not be able to express myself due to the language barrier. I was trying to have as little communication as I possibly could. And I almost succeeded, until we had to introduce ourselves in front of the class.

And the moment the word “international”flew out of my mouth, i was surrounded by thirty people who were asking questions one after another. I remember some of the questions were “Where is the Ukraine? Is it a kingdom?”“Do you have McDonald’s? Does it taste the same?”and “Say something in your language.” It turned out to be the opposite of less communication, but it was so much fun.

During the first three months, I certainly experienced a bit of cultural shock. I think Americans are the nicest people I have ever met in my entire life. They always smile and say, “Hi, how are you?”

One day, I noticed the students looking at me suspiciously. Finally , my classmate came up to my locker and whispered, “Is that true that you are a princess(公主)and that you came to study here so that nobody would recognize you?” At one point, I even had an image of myself wearing a gown and waving at the crowd. What ? People do have a wild imagination!

During my study abroad experience, I saw a totally new world, experienced great culture, met a lot of incredible(不可思议的)people and improved my language. This trip inspired me to learn foreign languages. That is one of the reasons why I speak five different languages today.

Quite often we get so caught up in day-to-day activities that we spare little time to think about and develop little positive habits that could make the difference between having an okay day and a positive day. Here are some simple ways to help you develop positive habits.

● Start the day with positive mind.

Upon getting up, promise yourself that you will face the day with a positive mind. 【小题1】 You are willing to deal with any troubles you’re faced with.

● Smile at someone.

When you walk through the office, down the street or are in a store, make it a point to smile at someone. 【小题2】 We’re usually so caught up in activities that we don’t take time to notice those around us.

● Be a better listener.

Spend time listening to another’s point of view.【小题3】 In this case, try putting yourself in his/her place and understand where his/her opinions come from.

●Take some quiet time.

Give yourself a break. You need the time to regroup. Even a little 15- minute catnap (假寐)can be surprisingly refreshing. 【小题4】

● 【小题5】

Do something nice to make others happy every day. For example, help an elderly person lift or carry a heavy bag. Clear the table after a meal if it’s not your normal practice. Offer to take your neighbor’s kids to the park, or the show, along with yours.
