Compliments can be sent in all shapes and sizes. They can range from congratulating co-workers on their hard work to telling someone how good that shirt looks on him or her. In other words, compliments, no matter how small or great they are, can make anyone feel good. Next time, if you want to give someone some compliments, keep these tips in mind.
Perfect your compliments. People feel much more appreciated when you say exactly why you think that person deserves some praise. That's to say, back your compliments up with examples of why you think that person did a good job.
Don't put it off. Too many people wait until what they think is the perfect moment to send a compliment. What you have in your head as a perfect moment may never happen. If you feel that a compliment is appropriate, the best time is now.
Don't ever tell someone that something he or she has done is great and then point out what he or she was doing beforehand wasn't so great. Compliments are meant to make people feel good, and that's it. Don't bring other things into them because comparing the present and the past can just make someone feel bad about themselves.
Be selfless. Not only is this very selfish, but it destroys all of the sincerity right out of the compliments. If you think someone's hair looks nice, say so — but don't do it just because you're having a new hairstyle and want some validation (确认) for your own look.
A. Give a 100% compliment.
B. Don't be one of those people!
C. It's always a nice idea to give a compliment with a smile.
D. The best compliment leaves no room for any misunderstanding.
E. Your sincere compliments can make someone's entire day better.
F. Never compliment someone because you want a compliment back.
G. Adding examples makes your compliments more sincere and effective.
【答案】E;G;B;A;F
【解析】赞美可以用各种形状和大小来传递。真诚的赞美让人高兴一整天,所以记住本文所给的一些如何赞美别人的建议。
(1)E 根据本空格后面一句中插入语in other words的提示,后一句compliments, no matter how small or great they are, can make anyone feel good是用来解释说明本句话的,因此选E. 你真诚的赞美能让别人的一天更美好。
(2)G 当你说出你认为那个人值得表扬的原因时,人们会更加感激。因此,你要用一些例子来说明你为什么认为那个人做得很好。添加一些例子可以让你的赞美更加真诚和有效。
(3)B太多的人会等到他们认为是最好的时机来赞美。事实是,没有什么所谓最好时机。如果你想赞美别人,那么别跟大多数人一样,别拖延,最好的时机就是现在。
(4)A 赞美就是赞美,是纯粹的赞美,而不要说他/她做的事情很好,然后指出他或她之前做的事情并不那么好。赞美就是为了让人们感觉良好,不要把其他的事扯进来,要做就要做到百分百。
(5)F要不自私。根据后一句,Not only is this very selfish, but it destroys all of the sincerity right out of the compliments(这不仅是一种自私的行为,而且还会破坏所有的真诚)可知,此处应选F,永远不要想着要别人恭维回来你才去赞美别人。
