I have so many rules at home just like at school. My parents give me ‘rules’ because they want me to become a nice girl.
The first one is that I cannot watch online videos without parents’ permission. When I was in Grade 3 , I was about a cartoon series, ‘Balala Fariry’. One day, as I was walking home, I suddenly got a good idea: ‘Why not for this cartoon series on the Internet and watch it online before Mom comes home?’
When I arrived home, I turned on the and found the series online. Then I turned it down and watched it . But when it played to the most exciting part, Mom walked in…
She asked me why I watched that cartoon series before my homework. I didn’t answer because I was so afraid. Then she wanted to know if I watched other videos on the computer the night before , and I said I didn’t. She knew I was lying(说谎), she saw the historical record(记录)on the computer. She was so me because I lied; that was something she really cared about. That day , I two rules . The first one : no television , video games or computer videos before homework is finished; the second rule: be . From then on , I never lied again.

Some people have a kind of magic. They will make you comfortable while they are around. You feel at ease while talking to them. How is it done? Here are several skills that good talkers have. If you follow the skills, they'll help people feel relaxed and make friends with them quickly.
First of all, good talkers ask questions. Almost anyone, no matter how shy he is, will answer a question. One well-known businesswoman says, "At business lunches, I always ask people what they did that morning. It's a common question, but it will get things going." From there you can move on to other matters—sometimes to really personal questions. And how he answers will let you know how far you can go.
Second, once good talkers have asked questions, they listen to the answers. This point seems clear, but it isn't. Your questions should have a point and help to tell what kind of person you are talking to. And to find out, you really have to listen carefully and attentively. Real listening at least means some things. First it means not to change the topic of conversation. If someone insists on one topic, it means he's really interested in it. Real listening also means not just listening to words, but to the voice. If the voice sounds bored, then, it's time for you to change the topic.
Finally, good talkers know well how to deal with the moment of saying good-bye. If you're saying it, you may give him a handshake and say, "I've really enjoyed meeting you." If you want to see that person again, don't keep it a secret. Let people know your thoughts.
