If you're looking for a challenging situation to practice your English, pick up the phone. Not being able to see the other person and the body language can make the chatting difficult. __1.__ Here are some tips to guide you through an average phone conversation in English.

1．Greetings

Every phone call should begin with a polite greeting such as “Hi, how've you been？” or “Nice to hear from you”. Even if you're calling a business contact for a specific purpose, it'd be rude to jump right into business. __2.__

2．Getting to the point

There always comes the point where you want to move on from friendly chatting and get down to business. What should you do in this situation? __3._ However, if you are waiting to find out why someone called you, you can guide the conversation by saying “So what can I do for you？”

3．Interrupting without offence

Sometimes you may happen to be speaking with a very talkative person. __4.__ Keep in mind when you'd like to interrupt, and be sure to do it politely. For example, begin with “I'd like to say something here”．

4．Closing the call

This can be the trickiest part of the conversation! It may be the time to offer good wishes if it's appropriate. _5.__ Sometimes it's easiest to just say you enjoyed speaking to the other person. Also remember cleverly saying the word well at the beginning of a sentence can indicate you're ready to end the conversation.

A．Use the phrase “I'm just calling to...” to change to the topic at hand.

B．Additionally, you may want to confirm any plans you've made.

C．You should make a little small talk at the beginning.

D．You'd better greet him or her in a friendly way.

E．So it may be difficult to get a word in.

F．Practice English through phone calls.

G．Never fear, though!

Today is Sarah’s birthday. She is seventy-five. We asked a few old friends to dinner.

Like most elderly people, I suppose, we spent most of the evening talking about old times. Thirty years ago, the village used to be a quiet place. Now it has changed. Every Sunday hundreds of cars pass through the village at what I think a dangerous speed. They make the village almost as noisy as the streets of a large town. As a boy I enjoyed riding on the backs of the farm horses. Things are different now. Today there are very few horses working on the farms. The farm workers today drive tractors, not horses. A man is not of much use on a farm unless he knows all about machines. Now almost every house in the village has a TV set. Is it a good thing for children to spend the evening sitting in front of a TV set? When I was young I did not waste my time indoors. I would spend the long summer evenings outdoors. I would play with my friends, go fishing or walk by the river. When my grandchildren asked me the reason why I haven’t bought a TV set, I tell them there are many books I still want to read. I can’t find time for both reading and watching TV.

1.The old like to talk about _______.

A. themselves B. others C. the past D. nothing

2.When I was a boy, I _______ riding on farm horses.

A. used to see people B. disliked

C. was fond of D. saw some elderly people

3.Which is NOT right according to the passage?

A. In the past the village was a quiet place.

B. It is a good time for children to watch TV all evening.

C. On Sundays many cars pass through the village at a dangerous speed.

D. When I was young I didn’t waste my time indoors.

4.I would rather _______ than _______.

A. watch TV; do some reading

B. play with friends; go fishing

C. do some reading; watch TV

D. go fishing; play with friends

How You Can Be Calm Even When Things Get Rough

1. Cry if you need to---for a while.

Some people are more emotional than others. But repressing（压制） your emotions doesn’t always help. If you do repress them, ___1.__. You can do it for a while, but it will eventually come back to the surface---and sometimes in an explosive manner. So have a good cry once in a while. Let the emotions out in order to help yourself think more clearly afterwards.

2. Be solution-oriented.

Concentrating on the negatives won’t change anything. Let’s say you just lost your job. ___2._. So you’ve had your cry or the time to freak out（吓坏）, and then you made the decision to put your logical hat on. Now look at the possibilities. Start applying for jobs. Think about a career change or starting your own business. Look at the actions you can take to make your situation better. Then do something.

3. Ask for help.

Unfortunately, __3.____. It’s not! Where has it ever been written that everyone needs to go through their problems alone? Nowhere!

Less burden equals more calm, collected, and lighter feelings.

4. Believe that things will get better.

Hope. _4.___. If you don’t believe that things will change, then they won’t. I always love to quote Henry Ford when he said, “Whether you think you can-or you think you can’t- either way, you are right.” If you think things will get better, then they eventually will. If you think they won’t, then they won’t. your beliefs shape your experience.

Staying calm when life gets rough takes practice, but it can be done. If you practice these steps on a regular basis, eventually __5.___.

A. Maybe it was a shock

B. it’s like holding a beach ball under the water

C. It might feel like you’re staying in the same place

D. Hope is everything

E. Maybe you didn’t lose your job

F. it will become second nature to you

G. a lot of people think that asking for help is a sign of weakness
