Make good a impressionFirst impression is always the most important thing when you meet a stranger.It takes just a quick glance, maybe three seconds, for someone to understand you when you meet for the first time.A good impression results from a combination of factors which includes your manner of dress, your body language, and your attitude. So make a good impression is large important. now I am writing to tell you about it .First,as know to all that body Language tell us much of one's imformation.We watch each other's body language all the time, but are often unaware of our own. Yet that is the first signal that we are happy and confident, or upset and fearful.Second ,verbal Language is another way to impress one's figure.What you say and how you say it are equally important. Have your answers well rehearsed, but not memorized. This will help you feel relaxed and confident.Avoid saying "um," "you know," or "like" too often. Pause if you need to think about what to say next.Use proper words. The language you use with anotherpeople may be inappopriate for an interview.Focus on the positive. Avoid being too brief in your answers or too wordy.What's more ,to make a good impression,we have to have deep confidence in ourselves.If you are calm and confident, the other person will feel more at ease and this makes a solid foundation of a good first impression. The next thing is your appearance.Although physical appearance seems to be more important nowadays, don't get upset if you are not born handsome.Try presenting yourself appropriately, start with the way you dress.Dress for occasions, do not dress for your own mood.Make sure that you look clean and tidy as this help to make a good impression. Well, the most important thing is a smile.“Smile and t he world smiles too.” A warm and confident smile will put both you and the other person at ease.You have to look sincere and true while you are smiling.When it comes to making the first impression, body language as well as appearance speaks much louder than words.Thus, stand tall, smile (of course), make eye contact, greet with a firm handshake. All of this will help you project confidence and encourage both you and the other person feel better at ease. Conversations should be short and sweet.Don't talk non-stop as this makes the other person bored. Try to find something common between the two of you to talk so as to keep it flowing. Your attitude is also what counts in a good impression.Stay positive, courteousand don't start criticising people or make sarcastic comments because this will spoil your image.。
Unit 4Section A How to Make a GoodImpressionMake a strong first impression: six tips that really workWe have all heard this warning: “You never get a second chance to make a good impression.”Also, psychologists, writers, and seminar leaders caution that we only have from seven to seventeen seconds of interacting with strangers before they form an opinion of us. With this widely acknowledged pressure to “make our case” instantly, here are six tips for making your first impression a positive one. 1.The greatest way to make a positive first impression is to demonstrate immediately that the other person, not you, is the center of action and conversation. Illustrate that the spotlight is on you only, and you’ll miss opportunities for friendships, jobs, loverelationships, networking, and sales. Show that you are other-centered, and first-time acquaintances will be eager to see you again.2.Closely related: You’ll make a superb initial impression when you demonstrate good listening skills. Give positive verbal cues: “Hmm…interesting!”“Tell me more, please.”“What did you do next?”Just as actors benefit from prompts, your conversational partner will welcome your assistance in keeping the exchange going. Nonverbally, you show you’re a skilled listener by maintaining steady eye contact. Remember how you respond to the social gadabout who appears to be looking over your shoulder for the next person he wants to corner. Remember, and avoid that habit.e the name of a new acquaintance frequently.“Judy, I like that suggestion.”“Your vacation must have been exciting, Fred.”You show that you have paidattention from the start, catching the name during the introduction. Equally as important, you’ll make conversations more personal by including the listener’s name several times.4.Be careful with humor. Although a quip or two might serve as an icebreaker, stay away from remarks that could bring about adverse results. Because you don’t know a stranger’s sensitivities, casual joking might establish barriers you can’t overcome, either now or later.5.Appearance counts. Several years ago, a professional colleague offered to meet me for lunch. I decided against wearing a suit, opting for a sport coat and tie. When he showed up in shorts and sandals, the message he conveyed was: “Bill, meeting you is a rather ordinary experience, and doesn’t call for me to present a business-like appearance.”Not surprisingly, that was the last time I met with him. True, standards forappropriate dressing have changed greatly. Maybe the best advice I can share came from a participant in a seminar I conducted. She said, “I don’t dress for the job I have now, I dress for the job I want to have.”6.As a communication specialist, I have to point out that an individual’s speaking style impacts the first impression, maybe more than we wish.Listeners judge our intelligence, our cultural level, our education, even our leadership ability by the words we select --- and by how we say them.Keep these six tips in mind. They will reduce your fear of business and social encounters with unfamiliar faces. More positively, you’ll start enjoying success that you thought were beyond your reach.
