三、参考范文
First Impressions
People often say first impressions count. That means what we look like or how we behave at first sight is very important. It determines how people will think of us and maybe what results we will achieve. However, how can we leave a good first impression on others?
First, when we meet someone for the first time, do remember not to be late. Time is money. Being late is very impolite. Furthermore, we can say that good appearance is half of a good impression, so when we first meet someone, we must make ourselves look comfortable and appropriate. In addition, being cultured is also important. Last but not least, nobody likes to be friends with or work with someone who is depressed, so we should be confident and optimistic.
In all, if we follow the above suggestions, we will definitely benefit a lot from them.
