It is necessary to develop some skills to increase one’s chances of success in today’s competitive world. Many skills, for example, leadership, a second language, and technical skills such as computer programming, are very useful today. However, the most useful skill is the ability to communicate well with others.

It is necessary to know the importance of good communication skills. A good communicator finds it easier to speak out his ideas clearly. In this way there will be fewer misunderstandings, which can lead to bad feelings as well as lost time and effort. In addition, a person with good communication skills is a good mediator (调解人) and negotiator（谈判人）. He or she can play a valuable role in settling problems and improving cooperation. This means that a good communicator is often a natural leader. Finally, with good communication skills, it is easier to persuade others to accept your point of view, which is an important step on the way to success.

For all the above reasons, it is my belief that strong communication skills are the most important to have. Good communication is important in all situations, so a skillful communicator will always be in high demand.

All the oceans of the world will be dead in the future unless action is taken at once. How can this happen?

We have already seen that people allow all sorts of waste products to flow into the sea. It is almost impossible to measure how much waste water and industrial waste in our oceans, but we can find out how much oil is poured into them legally and illegally. It is illegal to pour oil into the sea close to the shore, but when a ship is many miles out to sea, there are no such rules. Scientists have different ideas as to the amount of oil putting into the sea, but the lowest figure for oil poured in European waters alone is nearly 200 000 tons every year. Some people say the figure could be ten times as high.

It is not only our coasts that suffer from oil pollution. Many shell fish, for example, now have high amounts of poisonous substances(物质).

People in the United States honor their parents with two special days: Mother’s Day, on the second Sunday in May, and Father’s Day, on the third Sunday in June.

Mother’s Day became a day for national day by President Woodrow Wilson in 1915. Ann Jarvis from Grafton, West Virginia, had started the idea to have a day to honor mothers. She was the one who chose the second Sunday in May and also began the custom of wearing a carnation(康乃馨).

In 1909, Mrs. Dodd from Spokane, Washington, thought of the idea of a day to honor fathers. She wanted to honor her own father, William Smart. After her mother died, he had the responsibility of raising a family of five sons and a daughter. In 1910, the first Father’s Day appeared in Spokane. Senator Margaret Chase Smith helped to make Father’s Day to be a national day, in 1972.

These days are used to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens. They give love and care.

These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mother’s Day people wear carnations. A red one shows a living mother. A white one shows that the mother is dead．Many people attend religious services to honor parents. It is also a day for people whose parents are dead to visit the cemetery（墓地）. On these days, families get together at home as well as in restaurants. They often have outdoor barbecues for Father’s Day. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.
