Its not easy to take criticism, no matter who it comes from. But, it is easy to soften the blow when you offer criticism to someone in Engli
51、sh. Merely by altering your wording and your attitude, you can help someone grow as opposed to making them feel defeated. Phrases like “Youre wrong!” and “Your presenta- tion was terrible!” have no place in effective criticism. In fact, its best to leave the word “you” out, if at all possible. Perso
52、nal attacks make people feel defensive, and then they wont really listen to anything you have to say. Before starting with the criticism, warm the person up with compliments(恭维). If you are discussing their work, find several things you truly like about what they have done. For example, “I enjoyed y
53、our presentation today. You presented a lot of good and helpful information in it, and I can tell you put a lot of effort into it. I appreciate your hard work.” This will lower their defenses and make them feel appreciated. However, a short, vague(模糊的) compliment followed by “but” such as “It was a
54、helpful talk, but you really need to improve your presentation skills” wont do much to help the process. After youve shared your compliments, allow them time to be absorbed. Immediately following your compliment with a “but” will destroy all youve tried to accomplish by making your praise seem false
55、 and insincere. Remember that the goal of constructive criticism isnt to make the person feel terrible; its to help them grow. Instead of directly accusing the person, try to get the message through to them in the form of light-hearted advice. Phrases like, “Next time you might want to? or “I find i
56、t helpful to” can take away the blame while still leaving an impact: “Next time you might want to give a little more attention to the audience. I find it helpful to look people in the eyes while I am speaking.” People cant change overnight, especially if they dont get detailed direction. Simply sayi
