Before making the speech, they should take one or two minutes to<br> write an outline of their speech.<br> · What should you pay attention to in your first day at work?<br> How can you win promotions?<br> · What is your advice on interpersonal relationships in the place of work?<br> 6. 2 A Sample Speech<br> Tips for First-day Workers<br> Imagine that a friend is going to start a new job, and turns to you for<br> some suggestions for his or her first-day's work. What suggestions would<br> you give? Here are some tips: "<br> First, proper personal appearance is very important. That is to say,<br> you should dress suitably to give a good impression to your superiors and<br> colleagues. However, dressing is rather culturally hound, for different<br> companies have different styles. You should find<br> out the style beforehand, and adapt yourself to<br> it. For example, if you work for an American<br> company, you may wear casual clothes, as it is<br> very common for an American manager to wear<br> jeans while chairing a meeting. In contrast,<br> someone working for a British company may be required to wear a suit in<br> the workplace, as British bosses generally prefer a more formal and<br> conservative style. As they say, when in Rome, do as the Romans do.<br> Second, remembering new faces and names also matters a lot in a work<br> situation. If you greet your new colleagues by name oft the second day, they<br> will be pleased and feel that you respect them. Therefore, they will be<br> ready to offer a hand if you need help, or even offer help without being<br> asked. On the other hand, if one of your new colleagues greets you by name<br> and you have forgotten his or her name, you won't know what to do and<br> you will feel embarrassed. Probably, you will find it difficult to cultivate a<br> relationship with this colleague in the future.<br> There are also some other first-day points workers should bear in<br> mind. For example, you should arrive ten minutes early or at least<br> punctually. It is never good for someone to be late for work. If you smoke,<br> you should ask for your colleagues' permission first before smoking, or you<br> could simply go to the smoking area. And one last thing, which deserves<br> attention, is that you should listen more than you talk during your first day<br> at work. If you talk a lot about your family, or some other things to your<br> new colleagues, they may become bored and begin to dislike you.<br> ……
