Be honest and sincere. If you have no idea of a subject, just say “I don’t know much about it.” If you want to make the other person happy, mention his or her strong points. But don’t just pretend to be nice, because people can find out you are not telling the truth.
Para. 4
Read and Answer
Strong points: 指对方客观存在的闪光点,如技能、品质或成就
“If you want to make the other person happy, mention his or her strong points.”
理解: 这句话建议我们,在交谈中发现并真诚地提及对方的优点或长处,这是让对方感到愉悦的有效方式。这里的 strong points 指对方客观存在的闪光点,如技能、品质或成就。
“But don’t just pretend to be nice, because people can find out you are not telling the truth.”
理解: 这句话是对上一条建议的补充和警告。它强调,表达善意和赞美必须真诚。如果你内心并不真正认同,只是为了讨好而假装友善、言不由衷,对方是能够察觉到的。这种不真实的“友善”一旦被识破,会严重破坏信任,比不说更糟糕。
(1) Why do you mention his or her strong points?
____________________________________________________
(2) Why shouldn’t you pretend to be nice and say something nice but insincere?
_____________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________
Because it makes people happy.
Because people can find out if you’re not telling the truth, and they will not trust you.

2. Do you think the tips are reasonable? Why or why not?
YES - The tips are reasonable (5 reasons):
They are practical. Tips like "listen to ask questions" and "talk about weather or sports" give clear actions to follow.
They are polite and respectful. Avoiding personal questions and arguments helps everyone feel comfortable and safe.
They encourage honesty. Being real ("I don't know") is better than pretending, which builds trust.
They build confidence. Advice like "stand straight" and "be yourself" helps shy people feel stronger.
They work for most situations. The rules are simple and safe for talking to strangers or new friends in many places.
NO - The tips are not always reasonable (5 reasons):
They can be too simple. Real conversations are more complex; sometimes you need to discuss difficult topics, not just avoid them.
They ignore cultural differences. In some cultures, asking about family or age is friendly, not rude.
They might make people act the same. If everyone only talks about weather and sports, conversations can become boring and fake.
