When he woke up in the morning, he ran out to me. I was milking my goats in the field, and he got down on the ground and put his head near my foot. I understood that he was thanking me for saving him, and I tried to show him that I was his friend.

I began to teach him to speak English, and soon he could say his name. Then he could call me "Master" and say "Yes" and "No". How good it was to hear a man's voice again! When we got to my house, I gave Man Friday some trousers, and I made him a coat and a hat. He liked his new clothes very much. Then I made him a little tent to sleep in, but for a few weeks I always took my gun to bed with me. Perhaps Friday was still a wild man and would try to kill me in the night. At first, Friday was very afraid of my gun. Sometimes he talked to it, and asked it not to kill him.

Friday was a quick learner and his English got better day by day. He helped me with the goats and with the work in the cornfields, and soon we were good friends. I enjoyed teaching him and, most of all, having a friend to talk to. This was the happiest of all my years on the island.

In 1974, Ren joined the PLA (中國(guó)人民解放軍) as an engineer. During that period, the country was suffering from terrible food and clothing shortages (短缺). "I had been to college, and people like me could play a role." he said. After the PLA, Ren worked for an oil company before founding Huawei in 1987. It was set up in Shenzhen, which was just a fishing village then.

To get market share, Ren suffered serious depression (抑郁) during the darkest days of the company. Ren pushed staff to work long hours and do whatever it took to save business. Unable to compete in the big cities, Huawei worked on China's small towns and villages. All the time, Ren devoted a lot to research and development, pushing Huawei to create its own technology that would make it compete with its competitors.

Ren worked long hours leaving him little time to build strong relationships with his three children. He has said that while in the PLA, he spent just one month a year with his family. After starting Huawei, "I had to spend 16 hours a day in the office," he said. He once asked his kids whether they’d like him to spend more time with the family or work to "build a platform (平臺(tái))" on which they could grow. His children chose the latter (后者).

【1】 However, if you speak angrily to people, they will become defensive (自衛(wèi)的). Then they are less likely to help you. A more effective (有效的) way to get what you want is to stay calm.

Use polite language and a friendly tone of voice. Start with phrases such as, "I'm sorry to bother you, but…" or "Excuse me, but could you…?" For example, "I'm sorry to bother you but I ordered potato soup, not vegetables." Phrasing your complaint as a question also helps. 【2】 "Could you help me? I just bought this phone case yesterday, but it doesn't work."

【3】 There is no faster way to make someone defensive than by blaming them. Use the phrase. "I know this isn't your fault, but…" or "There has been a misunderstanding." 【4】 Blaming people isn't as important as getting a problem fixed!

There are honest mistakes, but at times someone may try to take advantage of you. In that case, don't say "Hey! You're trying to cheat me!" Instead, use the phrase, "I understood that…" For example, "I understood that the service charge was included in the price." Then give the person a chance to answer.

If you don't get what you want with a polite conversation, ask to speak to a manager.

A.When trying to solve a problem, don't blame (責(zé)備) the person you're talking to.

B.People like to be asked rather than told!

C.But usually, you'll find that polite words and a smile will deal with a situation.

D.These kinds of experiences make you want to complain.

E.These phrases let people know you are only angry at the situation.

B: Pretty good. I am preparing for the senior high school entrance exam. With the help of my teachers and classmates, I have made great progress.

A: Oh, that must be a pleasant thing.【2】?

B: Yes, I have. And I know that Liu Xin and Trish will have a second discussion about the trade between China and America.

A: 【3】?

B: I think Liu Xin is so wise and knowledgeable. Her spoken English is very fluent and clear.

A: 【4】? I can't wait to see the next discussion.

B: Liu Xin replies to Trish that Chinese people are spending the Dragon Boat Festival, so the discussion will be held again after the festival. You know the traditional festival is so important to every Chinese.

A: In order to make their conversation smoother, I advise them to use 5G from Huawei.

B: Haha! 【5】! I totally agree with you.

Body language

Although it may seem strange, much communication happens without any words. 2.The way you stand and act tells people a lot about you. When you're talking with someone, stand up straight and look them in the eye. This shows that you're talking confidently. And if you're nervous, acting like you're confident can help you feel more confident. When you're listening, look at the other person. Lean (倚靠) forward to show that you're interested in what they're saying.

Back and forth

A good conversation is not a speech, which means that both people need to take part in. If you're doing all the talking, 3.停下來給別人說話的機(jī)會(huì)。 If they don't say anything, try asking them a question.

Ask questions

Questions can also help if you're struggling (努力的) to think of something to say. If you ask the other person a question, they'll talk for a while. Maybe they'll say something you relate with and can reply to. 4.People are generally excited to find others with similar interests. When you ask questions, try to come up with open-ended ones. That means questions where the answer is more than just "yes" or "no". Open-ended questions in English usually start with who, what, when, where and why.

Don't fear silence

Don't scare if the conversation has quiet moments. Every conversation has some. 5.Think of them as opportunities to change the subject to something you're interested in. You could also talk about something you've done recently. Or once again, you can ask a question about the other person.

As with any skill, you will improve at holding conversations with time. So if you're shy, be brave, ask a question, and start a conversation.
