Challenge №2. Telephone an organization

-
Nowadays we can do many things with the help of the Internet avoiding personal communication with people. We ca order food, buy clothes, book tickets. But sometimes we have to talk to a worker of an organization to ask for some information. And my challenge of this week was connected with this activity. 

On Tuesday I called to a hospital to make an appointment for my granny. That hospital was private. I couldn't get throgh for a long time. And then they recalled me. I made an appointment.

Maybe, this action was not quite similar with one I nad planned to do but the main idea is the same, I think. 

The main fear was that the stuff of the organization might be impolite with me or I might get lost. This fear may be the result of the old tradition. We get used that the ladies engaged in services are not always polite with clients. But this hospital turned out to be very good from this point of view that made me glad.

    That's funny how culture interferes with our fears. I mean that part of Russian culture with rude staff. Anyway, it's great that you faced it and succeded.

    Hey sorry to just be commenting, I just figured out how! What you have to say is interesting and true, I myself always get a little nervous when I have to speak to people on the phone, especially if I think they might be unkind. It's good that you challenged yourself in this way! May I make a spelling correction? I think in the last paragraph you meant to put 'staff' not 'stuff'. But other than that your writing is super good!

Three useful tips to overcome stage fright

Performance situation is usually a stressful one. But we can always reduce the level of stress by following some tip which help in overcoming physical simptoms. The main idea of the first tip is to recognize the stress as excitment. You need to decieve your body by thinking of the presantation as something "fun" rather than stress. In this way adrenaline rush works for you rather than against you. The second tip I found useful is watch what you eat. And the most important thing here (at least for me) is about sugar. The sugar level should be neither too low nor too high. But if you really needs happy food, you just must eat something that makes you happy. For me it's always chocolate. That's why I had some problrms with sugar level but now I try to maintain it. And the last tip but not the least. Make yourself laugh. I have noticed that every successful person has a good sense of humour. There is a physiological reason for it. The more enjoyment you are feeling...

I have so many situations when I sit down to write a speech but I don't have any idea how to start, what examples to bring and how to make it creative and interesting to listen. Fortunately, there are some methods to overcome the crisis. In this post I will try them starting with the warm-up. Warm-ups One letter The main idea of this warm-up is to choose a letter and then name at least 10 words staring with this letter. I take the letter "l" and the words are: life, line, landscape, league, leapfrog, lemon, level, look, love, lost . Random words At the website https://www.textfixer.com/tools/random-words.php I need to generate 5 words to write a paragraph using them. Yesterday I got a strange, mystical letter from an anonym. This anonym made me an appointment on  my balcony to tell me the shocking truth . So today after turning back from my work, I'm a diplomatic agent by the way, I hope to find out who this anonym is or who makes this kind...
