You must have been to many places of interest and enjoyed all kinds of beautiful mountains and rivers. I am also sure that you have visited many old buildings covered with colorful pictures on the walls. Now imagine that a building with an exterior（外观）made completely out of corn and other grain! The building really exists—it is the Corn Palace.
The Corn Palace was built in 1892 in Mitchell, South Dakota. It was created to display the products of the harvest of South Dakota’s farmers, in murals（壁画）inside the building and on the outside walls of the building. The murals are made from lots of corn and other grain and grasses such as wild oats, rye, straw, and wheat. Each year these corn decorations are completely stripped down（剥下）and entirely new murals are created. The Corn Palace is a great tourist attraction and a meeting place for the community. Many events are held here and the most popular is the Corn Palace Stampede Rodeo. But the horses must be watched carefully so that they don’t eat the building!

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 are talking, listen carefully and never cut them off.
