Improve Communication Skills
Communication skills are of great importance because they help us express ourselves clearly
and improve our relationships with others.Then how can we improve our communication skills?
Firstly，we should start with active listening.Only by doing that can we understand those
around us better.Secondly，it’s wise to learn to control our emotions and see things from
different perspectives.Last but not least，we’d better actively participate in school activities，
where we can learn team spirit and enhance communication with each other.
All in all，if we treat people and things sincerely，we’ll be able to communicate effectively.
Ⅱ.读后续写(团队协作)
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“What will we be singing for the contest this year？” a student from my high school choir
asked eagerly.
I panicked this moment.“I was thinking，” I said，“maybe we’ll skip the contest and
just work hard on the concerts this year.”
“NO！” the kids protested.
“We’ve got to go to the contest！”
“In Class A．”
“It’s a tradition！”
This was true.Medals lined the front wall of the music room from the past successes of large，
talented classes.But my section leaders had graduated or been forced to drop music classes，
leaving me with young，inexperienced kids who couldn’t read music，couldn’t hold their
parts，and could sing only some simple songs.“Maybe we could enter Class B this year，” I suggested，knowing even that would be a
nearimpossible mission.“No！” the kids screamed.“Class A！”
I shook my head.“Class A is extremely difficult.”
“We can do it！” they shouted.“We can do it！”
“I’ll have to think about it，” I said，hoping their enthusiasm would die off in a couple
of weeks.
But that didn’t happen.Every day they begged；they pleaded；they insisted.Because I had
to protect their selfesteem，I couldn’t tell them they weren’t good enough.
I struggled to make a decision.If I crushed their hope，would I crush their spirit? On the other
hand，if we entered Class A，would they be hurt by the judges’ comments? Finally，one
morning I stormed into class and declared we would sing for the contest and entered Class A.
Each morning they vocalized ， learned musical terms ， practiced signature changes ，
rehearsed concert music，and went over and over the songs.Their progress was so remarkable that
even I began believing in their dream.

Seven months into the school year，when the contest day finally arrived，the kids felt ready
to take on the world! They warmed up，listened to my talk，and made their way to the
performance area.As my choir mounted the risers，I looked at the three judges and remembered
how improbable this scenario had seemed at the beginning of the school year.“Smile！” I
mouthed.They looked confident.I took a deep breath ， and we began.They performed
masterfully.We finished our songs，and I wanted to scream at the top of my lungs，“YOU DID
IT！”
After all the choirs had performed，we waited in our assigned room for the results.While
waiting for the judges’ scores，the kids gazed at the clock，went for snacks，gazed at the
clock，drew on the chalkboard，gazed at the clock...Two very long hours later the results were
posted.I stood frozen，staring at the list in disbelief.There was our name at the very top：a First
Place award with the highest marks of all.All around the kids were squealing and embracing.Warm
tears wet my cheeks.And I realized that I was surrounded by kids who had a dream—kids who
refused to give up—kids who taught me to never doubt the possibility of success.
