“Thank you” is the most under-appreciated and under-used phrase on the planet. It is appropriate in nearly any situation.1.Let’s cover some common situations where we say all sorts of things, but should say “thank you” instead.

1. When you are receiving praise.

We often ruin praise by acting overly humble(谦逊的). The problem is that by devaluing the praise, you don’t acknowledge the person who was nice enough to say something.2.

2. When you are running late.

It is stressful for the person who is running late and it is disrespectful to the person who is waiting. It might seem strange to thank someone for dealing with your late arrival, but that’s exactly the correct response. Most people stand in the door and say “Sorry, I’m late.”3. Saying “Thank you” turns the table and acknowledges the sacrifice the other person made by waiting.

3. When you’re comforting someone.

When someone comes to you with the bad news, it can be awkward. You want to be a good friend, but most people don’t know what to say. What we fail to realize is that it doesn’t matter if you don’t know what to say.4.

4. When you are receiving helpful feedback(反馈).

Feedback can be very helpful, but we rarely see it that way. Whether it is an unflattering performance review from your boss or an e-mail from an unhappy customer, the standard reaction is to get defensive(防御性的). 5.

A. Thank them for what they did despite your error.

B. You can win the argument in the way you live your life.

C. Besides, it is a better response than most of the things we say.

D. All you really need is to be present and thank them for trusting you.

E. The problem is this response still makes the situation embarrassing.

F. Simply saying “Thank you” fully acknowledges the person who made the promise.

G. That’s a shame because the correct response is to say “Thank you” and use it to improve.

In choosing a friend, one should be very careful. A good friend can help you study. You can have fun together and make each other happy. Sometimes you will meet fair?weather friends. They will be with you as long as you have money or luck,but when you are down, they will run away. How do I know when I have found a good friend? I look for certain qualities of character,especially understanding, honesty and reliability(信任).

Above all else, I look for understanding in a friend. A good friend tries to understand how another person is feeling. He is not quick to judge. Instead, he tries to learn from others. He puts himself in the other person’s place, and he tries to think of ways to be helpful. He is also a good listener.

At the same time, however, a good friend is honest. He does not look for faults in others. He notices their good points. In short, a friend will try to understand me and accept me.

Another quality of a friend is reliability. I can always depend on a good friend. If he tells me he will meet me somewhere at a certain time, I can be sure that he will be there. If I need a favor,he will do his best to help me. If I am in trouble, he will not run away from me.

There is a fourth quality that makes a friend special. A special friend is someone with whom we can have fun. We should enjoy our lives, and we would enjoy our friendship. That is why I especially like friends who are fun to be with. A good friend likes the same things I like. We share experience and learn from each other. A good friend has a good sense of humor too. He likes to laugh with me. That is how we share in the joy of being friends. And I know that he is looking for the same quality in me.

When I meet someone who is reliable, honest, and understanding,I know I’ve found a friend!
