Most people follow others blindly just because they feel it safe to follow a large number people. In some rare cases it might be right to follow the crowd, but in most cases this can be a big mistake. In fact there are reasons why we shouldn’t follow the crowd blindly.

According to a study, people often follow the crowd when they aren't sure about the direction they should take. This means a large number of people could be following others without understanding what's right and what's wrong! This makes more people follow and as a result most people move in a certain direction even if it isn’t right.

A man who wants to be successful always hopes for others' guidance and he usually follows the same path of most people, but the question this man never asks himself is: are all of those people successful? Of course not! If you want to follow a crowd, then follow a successful one. However, in real life you'll only find one successful person among hundreds of people, and that's why following the crowd makes no sense at all.

Most people act emotionally (感情用事地) without thinking wisely. If you always follow others because they're greater than you in number, then sooner or later you'll discover that you're taking emotional decisions you might regret later.

However, should we never follow the crowd? No. I'm not trying to say you should never follow the crowd, but instead I'm just asking you to think wisely before you take a decision. If you find others are right, there is no problem in following them, but if you have doubts about the direction they're moving in, don't follow them blindly.

Fashion isn't very environmentally-friendly because it makes people buy things they don't need, just because they're new. We want to take care of the environment, we don't want to pol­lute the air and we don't want to waste energy and resources. But we also want to be fashiona­ble. How can we buy fashionable clothes and protect the environment?

Old styles are fashionable again, so one way is to buy second-hand clothes — recycled clothes. Another way is to buy' fair trade clothes. These clothes are either recycled or made in a ' way that protects the environment. They also protect the people who make the clothes.

Surprisingly, white cotton is one of the least environmentally-friendly crops of all. To pro­tect the cotton, the growers use chemicals that pollute water, make farm workers ill and kill wildlife. New materials, such as hemp and bamboo, grow quickly and are more environmental­ly-friendly. These materials are very soft, and look fantastic. The best materials are coloured using natural dyes, made from plants.

Environmentally-friendly clothes are practical but until now they were often dull. Now fashion-designers are working with these materials and the clothes are beautiful as well. So now we can buy fashionable clothes that are also environmentally-friendly.

People have lots of different thoughts that they wish to express. For many reasons, most people just keep their thoughts to themselves and never tell them to others.　 Another form of self-expression is the written word.

Communication here means that people talk with each other about what they know, think and feel. We can learn a lot from good communication in our daily life. Part of the communication is unspoken. We sometimes show our feelings with our eyes, faces, bodies and attitudes(态度). Some personal qualities can make good communication, including appearance, ability to speak, beautiful voice, how to hold the interest of others, and so on.

What should we do so that our communication will be useful? Here are suggestions.

Firstly, you should be yourself. Successful people never change personal character from one situation to another. They’re the same whether they’re having a talk with their close friends or being interviewed for a job. They communicate with their whole being.

Secondly, whether you’re talking to one person or more, always remember to look at them. Don’t break eyes contact while talking. As you enter a room, move your eyes comfortably, and then look directly at those in the room and smile. This shows clearly that you are relaxed. Smiling is important. The best kind of smile is gentle and comfortable.

You should also get together information about other people. If you attend a meeting or an interview, don’t start throwing your opinions at once. Stop for a second. Be sure about what’s going on there. What’s the mood of the others — are they down, up, happy? Do they want to learn from you, or do they show any interest? If you can sense what’s happening to others, you will be better able to reach them. So, listen before you talk.

The fourth suggestion is that you get your energy up. Before the meeting, collect your thoughts about it. You walk calmly through the doorway. Pay attention to the person you are meeting to find out what he is interested in. Properly collected energy comes across when you sincerely believe something. Always be confident. The audience(观众) may disagree with you, but they can’t question your belief.

Lastly, I would like to tell you that you should not be too serious. That is to lighten up. Take a good hard look at yourself. Do you say “I” too often? Do you complain often? If you answered yes to even one of the two questions, you are nervous and need to be more relaxed.
