正在创建课程...
1
in the past people would usually only mingle with people of similar cultures and backgrounds
2
in an increasingly global society it is becoming more common to have colleagues clients
3
and contacts from all corners of the globe
4
while this may herald a multitude of previously unheard of opportunities for businesses and individuals alike,
5
it also presents challenges.
6
When we are children, we are taught what is right and what is wrong.
7
We are taught how to act in specific situations and what to say and do around other people.
8
The challenge of a multicultural working environment is
9
that you may be dealing with people who were taught to say or do things differently than you when they were kids.
10
Does that mean that they're wrong?
11
No. But it does mean that an awareness of such issues can help make any cross -cultural exchange smoother and easier.
12
Recognizing and welcoming diversity is a key step towards true international business success.
13
And while we may not always agree with the way people from another culture do things in their day -to -day lives, it is important that we respect them.
14
One of the biggest challenges is not to make negative assumptions about people
15
if they do things differently from what you are used to.
16
If a Japanese contact is not comfortable with shaking hands, it doesn't mean that they don't want to touch you.
17
It simply shows that they are more used to greeting each other in a different way, by bowing.
18
If your Brazilian client is late for a meeting, it doesn't mean that you are not important to them.
19
It simply reflects the belief that arriving on time is rude.
20
Most Brazilians appreciate people who arrive after the allotted start time.
21
The world is a big place.
22
And there are a great many ways to do everything.
23
A little awareness of this can go a long way.

什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
