Topic 1. (From. 신촌 영어본부)

3 tips for a successful blind date

1. Plan wisely. If possible, get to know the person beforehand through email or phone conversations.

By breaking the ice this way ahead of the first face-to face date, you can start to become familiar with your date's personality and discover what kinds of things you might have in common.

Then arrange to meet your blind date at a neutral public location, such as a busy restaurant, pub, cafe, or park,

where you will both feel comfortable. Keep it simple for the first date. Plan to meet for a drink or a cup of coffee.

Then, if you are both comfortable, you might want to stick around for a meal.

On the other hand, if the chemistry is not there, you can end the date after a quick drink

and avoid the pressure of a long, awkward evening.

2. Dress for dating success. You only get one chance to make a good first impression.

Dress appropriately for the venue where you'll be meeting, and make an extra effort to look your best.

Dress comfortably, but not too comfortably. Leave your sloppy jeans and t-shirts at home in favor of "business casual" attire. Dress so that your date will know that you take the event seriously.

3. Be yourself. When meeting someone new, especially a potential mate, some people try too hard to

do and say the right things. They say what they think their date wants to hear,

or they agree with everything the date says, just to seem agreeable and "nice". This isdishonest.

While you should try to make a good impression, it is important to be yourself.

Remember, you want to find someone who is compatible with the real you.

If you are honest and genuine upfront, there will be less of a chance of trouble down the road

when your partner starts to discover how you really are.

Topic 2. (From. 월수금 초급영어 2011/07/25)

How can I develop effective communication skills?

Effective communication skills are the key to improving your productivity and helping you advance your career. Not matter what your area of expertise is, being able to communicate with others will greatly perk up your chances for success. Even if you are naturally shy and prone to nervousness, there are some things you can do to help you achieve effective communication skills.

Start by eval‎uating your personality and try to find areas where you excel and areas where you could use some improvement. Maybe you have effective communication skills when it comes to gestures and body language, but lack a strong voice. Or maybe your voice is fine but you tend to get nervous and fidget too much when you are in front of a group of people. Knowing what areas you need to work on will give you a chance to become better at effective communication with others around you.

If you need to develop your body language, start by practicing in front of a mirror. As silly as it sounds, you will soon find out that looking at yourself gives you a chance to closely examine how you truly act. Eye contact is top priority when it comes to establishing an effective communication rapport with your listeners, not matter if you're talking to your boss or making a presentation to a room full of people.

Eye contact gives the impression of competence and self-assurance, and will make others see you as confident. Body language is also essential for effective communication. Rather than keeping your arms crossed or your hands on your lap, make your body talk, moving as much or as little as needed to match the topic and the personality of the room.

Another way you can achieve effective communication skills is to develop your voice. 

Slow down, which gives the listener the feeling of serenity and confidence, and avoid sounding monotonous. Put emotion in your words. You don't have to scream or be loud, but you should vary your pitch and make sure the volume you use is appropriate for the size of the room and the topic you are covering.

Don't mumble, and don't use vocabulary inappropriate for the environment you are moving in.

Above all, effective communication skills are a result of feeling confident about yourself. Make sure you feel your best and confidence will shine through.

*rapport [ræpɔ́ːr]: (친밀한, 공감적인) 관계, 조화, 동의, 일치
