Giving someone good news is easy, but what about bad news? Are there any good ways to give bad news without making people too upset? The following steps might help: Say something positive. Try to start or end the conversation with some good news, so that it"s not all bad. For example, "You did very well in the interview, but unfortunately we"ve given the job to somebody else." Prepare your listener for the news. Use phrases to introduce what you"re going to say, like "Unfortunately,....", "I"m really sorry, but..." or "I"m afraid I"ve got some bad news." This gives the listener time to prepare for what you" re going to say. Try to give a reason. People like to know why things go wrong. Try to explain the decision. If someone doesn" t get the job, can you explain why? If you have to cancel an appointment, try to give a reason. Use a soft tone of voice. If you"re giving someone bad news, try to use a soft, calm voice to make your sound kind. Say things to show you understand, like "I"m really sorry." or "I know this must be disappointing." | ||||||||||||||||||||||

14-year-old Jason Morgan talks about an exciting science project. Last month I got the chance to take part in an underwater research project in an area of the Gulf of Mexico called the Flower Gardens. A team of professional researchers" led by the scientist Dr Matt Phillips, was trying to learn more about the fish and different creatures that live in this part of the sea. The Flower Gardens are a long way from the shore (海岸) and we spent three days on a boat. The team used a piece of underwater equipment called ROV to collect information. The ROV was great fun. It was controlled by a computer on the boat, and I was allowed to operate it a few times. However, the thing I enjoyed most was diving (潜水) into the water. At first, I was quite scared---mainly because I couldn" t see land in any direction. But as soon as I jumped into the water, I wasn"t afraid anymore. It was amazing to see the colorful fish swimming around and I could see all the ways to the Flower Gardens, which are almost 30 meters down. I will never forget the Flower Gardens.
