Keep a Positive Self-image

Guidance for Reciting

Such a healthy state also gives us a much more relaxed demeanor in our dealings with other people as they respond to our positive energy,seeing us as strong and confident people.

Notes

1.maintain [mein5tein] v. 维持,维修,保养,坚持

这种健康的心态还让我们更轻松自如地面对其他人――我们积极的表现,会让我们成为他们眼中坚强和自信的人。

口语点津

把自己想象成一位口语高手,时时处处想着找高手过招,即便是面对一棵树、一堵墙,你也可以喃喃自语,交流几句……终有一天,你会发现,你已经成了真正的口语专家――你梦想中的与外国朋友侃侃而谈的形象竟然如此真切地实现了!
