It should be a conversation whereyou show your opinions and the facts that youve collected. By showing them the facts, we want to tell other people that we are right. But emotionally, they may not totally agree with what you say. So when you are trying to change someones mind, try to keep it as a conversation and not an argument.The second tip is never to say that you are wrong. If someone makes a statement that you think iswrong, its better to point it out by saying, “I thought otherwise but I might be wrong, lets look at the facts.” The key is to say that you might be wrong, not that you are wrong. This opens up the other person to look at the data again and shows them that youre not bullheaded (顽固的) and that youre not going to change your opinion. Youre showing them that you are open to new ideas and this is super important in changing someone elses mind to your way of thinking.Tip number three is to get the other person saying yes as fast as possible. You may begin your conversation on hobbies that you guys have, something that theyre crazy about, something that gets them saying yes. Because the more that you get them to say yes now, the more likely they are to say yes in the future. A conversation like this will get them to start to like you and maybe even more open up to ideas that you have. It builds up trust between the two of you.Tip number four is to let the other person do a great amount of talking. If you let them talk more, youre going to show that you actually care about their opinions and ideas, which will earn their respect in the end. By listening to them, youre going to create a friendly relationship and build trust. So when you express your opinions, they will also show a willingness to listen. Never interrupt them when they are talking. Just listen patienly with an open mind, encourage them to talk even more and more so that when its your tum to talk, theyll listen and say nothing.The last tip is to let the other person feel like the idea was theirs. Its wiser to make suggestions and let someone else come to the conclusion, then they have a sense of pride that its their idea. Giving someone the data and letting them come to the conclusion let them feel like it is their idea and they are proud of it.Title: How to change someone elses mindIntroductionThough it is not 83 . to change someone elses mind, here are tips you can follow.Five84 . of changingsomeone elsesmindKeep it as a conversation and not an argument, or they may not totally be in 85 . with you.Say that you might be wrong86 . of saying that you are wrong to show that you are open to new ideas.Try to get them saying yes as fast as possible, so they are more likely to say yes in the future.Create a friendly relationship and build trust so that when you express your opinions, they are willing to listen.Let someone else come to the conclusion and they will be87 . of it because they feel like it is their idea.十、材料作文88 . 又到了春暖花开的时节，镇江作为一个历史悠久的城市，欢迎来自世界各地的游客来做客。你很荣幸地当选为镇江日报的英语小导游，请你根据下列表格中的内容用英语向各方来宾做一个有关镇江的的介绍。内容要点如下：镇江简介1.镇江是一个有着3000多年历史的古城。2.自很早以前就以其文化和美景著名。3.现在已成为现代化城市。环境山清水秀，环境美，污染少。旅游景点1.春天是来镇江的最好季节，有许多可参观的地方。2.(举一例具体景点作简要介绍)文明出游1.我们可以欣赏美景，拍照片。2.我们不应该(至少2点)要求：1.表达清楚，语法正确，上下文连贯； 2.必须包含所有信息，并作适当发挥；3.字数在90字左右（开头结尾已给出，不计入总词数）； 4.不得使用真实姓名和校名等。Ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to Zhenjiang!_ I do hope you will enjoy your stay in Zhenjiang!第 18 页 共 18 页参考答案一、单选题1、2、3、4、5、6、7、8、9、10、11、12、13、14、15、16、17、18、二、完型填空1、三、阅读单选1、2、3、4、四、句型转换1、五、根据首字母、中文提示填空1、六、用所给单词的正确形式填空1、七、选用适当的单词补全对话1、八、单词填空1、九、填空1、十、材料作文1、
