Sometimes it may seem that what you are learning at school will be of no use in the future. It may seem that you're wasting your life away. But you will be surprised to find how much of what you learnt at school is helpful to you one day. Three people were asked what they found useful at school, and their thoughts are shared below.

    When I used to ask my teacher how to spell something, she often said, I don't know. Then she would take out the dictionary and look it up. She was not ashamed to say that she didn't know the answer. I learnt two things. You don't have to know _______; and if you don't know how to spell something, just get the dictionary out. Both are very useful lessons!

Get too close to a boy too fast and everyone talks about you. You want to go into a hole and die! But the truth is that life goes on. You might feel that what you did "wrong" will never ever be forgotten. However, if you can be brave and keep on, you will find that whatever happened will pass and you will start to enjoy life again.

    To solve the problem, food delivery service companies need to improve their incentive systems, noted CRI Online. (4)  Shanghai has asked companies to train their deliverymen on traffic rules and safety.

B. What are the strict rules used for?

C. What makes deliverymen take such risks?

Complain(抱怨) Politely

    Not everything goes the way you want it to. You may go to a restaurant and order a nice meal. But your order is wrong or not cooked properly. You may buy a product that breaks the next day. (1)  However, if you speak angrily to people, they will become defensive(自卫的). Then they are less likely to help you. A more effective (有效的) way to get what you want is to stay calm.

    Use polite language and a friendly tone of voice. Start with phrases such as, "I'm sorry to bother you, but…"or "Excuse me, but could you…?" For example, "I'm sorry to bother you, but I ordered potato soup, not vegetable." Phrasing your complaint as a question also helps. (2)  "Could you help me? I just bought this phone case yesterday, but it's cracked."

    (3)  There is no faster way to make someone defensive than by blaming them. Use the phrase, "I know this isn't your fault, but…" or "There has been a misunderstanding." (4)_____ Blaming people isn't as important as getting a problem fixed!

    There are honest mistakes, but at times someone may try to take advantage of you. In that case, don't say "Hey! You're trying to cheat me!" Instead, use the phrase, "I understood that…" For example, "I understood that the service charge was included in the price." Then give the person a chance to answer.

    If you don't get what you want with polite conversation, ask to speak to a manager or supervisor. (5)  

A. When trying to correct a problem, don't blame(责备) the person you're talking to.

B. People like to be asked rather than told!

C. But usually, you'll find that polite words and a smile will resolve a situation.

D. These kinds of experiences make you want to complain.

E. These phrases let people know you are only angry at the situation.
