A conflict at work is common.If you can avoid conflict,it means you will win what you want regardless of what the other person wants.Since the potential problem has not been removed,it will simply reappear later.1.

◆Be aware of the fact that some conflicts are unavoidable at work.On many occasions（场合）,conflict and disagreement are likely to happen.But when a conflict happens it is not the end of the world.2.Conflicts mean that people care enough to disagree strongly.The trick is not to allow the conflict to go on forever.

◆3.Solve a conflict when it starts,as it only gets worse with time going by.Everyone is waiting for the other to admit he or she is wrong and gets more unpleasant after the conflict has lasted a while.It is necessary to interrupt the "waiting game" before it gets to that point.

◆Ask nicely.If somebody has done something that makes you angry,or if you don't understand their viewpoints or actions,simply asking nicely about them can make a world of difference.Never assume that people do what they do to annoy or hurt you.Sometimes there is a good reason why that person does what he or she does,and a potential conflict disappears right there.4.

◆Appreciate.5.Tell them why it is worth it to you to solve the conflict.This can be difficult as few people find it easy to appreciate a person they disagree strongly with,but it is a great way to move forward.

A.Praise the other part in the conflict

B.Deal with conflicts sooner rather than later.

C.Invite the other person to talk about the situation.

D.Do remember to make an enquiry,not an accusation of any sort.

E.Here are the necessary steps to effectively get rid of conflicts at work

F.On the contrary,it can be the beginning of an interesting learning process.

G.Clear thinking is unlikely to happen while an argument continues to boil over.

Nowadays,cars have become a very common vehicle in our life.As the most important transport,cars have improved our modern life in many ways.However,cars also bring about so many problems for people,which should be given more attention than any time before.

Cars give people the ability to travel to any place they like.Many people begin to travel frequently.This helps people connect with each other better than before.A more obvious influence from cars is the large number of jobs that they create.Jobs in several fields open up thanks to cars,such as jobs in car factories,gas stations and highways. This is a huge positive influence on society because they greatly reduce the unemployment rate.

At the same time,the problems that cars cause seem to be more and more serious.A mass use of cars is bound to have some negative consequences.The widespread use of cars has led to serious traffic jams in cities.They have resulted in a reduction in the use of public transportation in many cities.The need to use and develop public transportation has been much discussed and confirmed.And also,car accidents create a number of injuries and deaths. There are hundreds of thousands of them worldwide every year.Gas let out from the engines of cars pollutes the air in cities around the world.Air pollution creates serious health problems and causes many people to die from it.It has become one of the most serious problems today.Efforts to develop pollution-free engines may be the final solution to this problem.

In conclusion,people should not only enjoy the benefits of cars,but also aim to deal with the problems cars have created.At the same time,the government should improve city traffic systems,encourage people to use public transportation,make efforts to improve road safety and encourage the usage of fuels that are low in pollutants.Only in these ways can the benefits of cars outweigh their harmfulness.

Farah was sitting in the kitchen going over the party list with her mother. The exams were over and Farah wanted to invite her friends for a party.

“Mother, you know I am now a part of Purple Girls Club and we have some rules about people we can be friends with,”Farah answered.
