When the new term came, I had a new classmate, a little old lady with a warm smile. She said, “Hi, handsome! I'm 87 years old. Can I give you a hug(擁抱)?”

I said heartily, “Of course!”

“Why are you in college at such an age?” I asked.

She joked, "I'm here to meet a rich husband, get married, have children, and then travel around.”

“No, seriously,” I asked.

“I always dreamed of having a college education. Now I'm getting one!” she told me.

Over the year, Rose became an icon(偶像). She easily made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and she enjoyed the attention from other students.

At the end of the term we invited Rose to speak at our banquet. I'll never forget what she taught us.

“We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. Here are the secrets of staying young. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You've got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die!” she said.

“There is a big difference between growing old and growing up. Anybody can grow old. That doesn't take any talent or ability,” she added. “But to grow up, you have to find the chances in change. Have no regrets(遺憾). We usually don't have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do.”

One week after graduation, Rose died peacefully in her sleep. She taught us by example that it's never too late to be all you can possibly be.

People can't see you when you're speaking on the phone, but they can hear you. So, the way you speak is especially important. In fact, researchers have found 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 _______ 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 _______, 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 _______ 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 affect 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 _______.

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 _______.

6. Pauses（停頓）

Using pauses every now and then can help you to slow down. 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 _______. For example, when a speaker is really angry, he might use pauses and says, “I … am … so … angry …”
