Talking with people is necessary in our daily activities and it is also very important. However, we all have different styles of communicating. Some people seem to be liked by most of the people while others not! Why does this happen? The answer lies in the simple magic words of communication—Thank you, Please and Sorry!
Let’s see how and why we should use these three words:
◆ Thank you
There is not one day of our life which we spend without taking help from another person. From the time we start our day till we step into our bed for a good night’s sleep, we have taken a number of favors (恩惠). However, how many times do we thank the other person truly? Be free and generous in saying “Thank you”! It does not take away your credit (认可), but surely makes the other person happy and more willing to help you next time!
◆ Please
Often we take things for granted (想当然) and ask other people to do things for us. This does not help as others feel they are made to do these for you. A simple and sweet “please” could completely change the manner towards you.
◆ Sorry
Everyone makes mistakes, but it is quite difficult to accept it and say sorry for it. This always causes trouble in our relationship. Saying sorry does not disgrace (使丢脸) anyone, instead, puts them in a more polite position.
These three simple words can work wonders for people. If you truly use these words in your day to day communication with people, you will surely find a change in the way people respond (反应) to you and your actions.

Monday morning is an important time at our school. All of the students go to the playground. We listen to music, and we 1 the national flag go up.
Usually, one student gives a talk on Monday mornings. One Monday last year, a boy gave the talk. He was 2 and excited! When I saw him, I wanted to have a try, too.
Can I really do it?
Last week, our teacher said our class should give the talk. My teacher 3 me, "I know you want to have a try. Next Monday, you can give the talk. Go and write something down. 4 for it, I'm sure you'll do well."
"Thank you," I answered, It was such a great 5 for me! When I got home, I was excited. I wrote two pages for the talk. I read them again and again. When I read, I asked my parents 6 . I wanted to make my teacher happy.

I 13 a big breath. Then I began to talk. It wasn't hard. It was easy.
