9.People can't see you when you're speaking on the phone,but they can hear you.So,the way youspeak is especially important.In fact,researchers have calculated that 80% of communication over the
phone is through your tone of voice; and only 20% is from the words you use.Here are our top tips on
how to speak over the phone.
1.Facial Expressions
Your facial expression can influence your voice.For example,if you smile,your voice will sound warm and friendly,just the opposite,if you have an angry look on your face,it can make you sound unpleasant.
2.Volume
If you speak too loudly,you could sound angry.And if you speak too softly,it'll be difficult to hear you.So,speak loudly enough to be heard clearly,but not so loud that you're shouting.
3.Pace
The pace of your voice is how quickly you speak.And this can show how you feel.For example,an angry person might speak faster than normal.Or a downhearted person might speak very slowly.Try speaking a little more slowly than normal.This will make you sound confident,and it'll make it easier for the other person to understand you.
4.Gestures
Gesturing can influence the tone of your voice.When you gesture,you bring more air into the lungs,which can make your voice sound warmer.Gestures are also useful to help you stress the right words or even find the words you need.The best thing about gesturing during a phone call is that no one can see what you're doing,so you can gesture as wildly as you like!
5.Movement
If you're feeling nervous,stand up and move around.It will reduce the nervousness in your body and help your voice to sound more confident.
6.Pauses (停顿)
Using pauses every now and then can help you to slow down.This will make you sound more confident and in control.Also,if you pause after giving some new information,it'll give the other person time to understand it.At the same time,listen to how the other person uses pauses.They could tell you something about the speaker's feeling.For example,when a speaker is really angry,he might use pauses and says,"I…am…so…angry…"

Oct.16 is World Food Day.The UN started the day in 1979.It's used to remind people not to waste food and fight hunger.
A big number of people in the world still don't have enough food to eat.Food shortage(匮乏)is a big problem worldwide.Right now,there are more than 1,000 million hungry people in the world according to the UN.Many children go to sleep hungry,and 15 million of them die of hunger each year.
There are several reasons why there are food shortages.First,there have been more droughts(干旱)and floods recently.Also,a growing population makes feeding everyone more difficult.
Another big reason is food waste.Most people don't realize how much food they throw away every day.Sometimes we cook too much,or we don't use it before it goes bad.The average(平均的)person throws away 50 kg of food every year.According to the UN,more than one third of all food produced worldwide goes to waste each year.
That is over1,300,000 million kilograms of food being wasted.The amount of food wasted in Europe can feed 200 million people,and the food wasted in Latin America can feed 300 million a year.
So think twice next time you want to throw away food.By cutting down on food waste,we could help put food on the empty plates of some hungry children.Only order as much food as you can eat in a restaurant.If you can't eat all you order,take the rest home.Don't be too picky about food so that you don't leave any on your plate.Some food may not taste great,but your body needs it.Keep an eye on what food you have at home.Don't buy too much.Don't cook too much.
When you throw away food,you are not just wasting the food itself.Resources(资源)are also wasted while growing,transporting and cooking the food.These things all take energy,time and water.
