How are you doing these days? Recently I have read a lot about the epidemic situation (疫情) in Wuhan and China on the Internet. It seems very serious. Could you tell me more about the new virus? What do you do with it? Do you think you can beat the virus? I know you are in Grade Nine, and you must be busy with your studies now. How do you deal with studies while you can’t be back to school.
I hope to hear from you soon. Take care!
Yours,

When we are talking to someone, we tend to change someone else’s mind to our way of thinking.And we may often find it difficult to do that, So here are five tips on how to change someone’s mind.
The first one is never to turn the conversation into an argument. It should be a conversation whereyou show your opinions and the facts that you’ve collected. By showing them the facts, we want to tell other people that we are right. But emotionally, they may not totally agree with what you say. So when you are trying to change someone’s mind, try to keep it as a conversation and not an argument.
The second tip is never to say that you are wrong. If someone makes a statement that you think iswrong, it’s better to point it out by saying, “I thought otherwise but I might be wrong, let’s look at the facts.” The key is to say that you might be wrong, not that you are wrong. This opens up the other person to look at the data again and shows them that you’re not bullheaded (顽 固 的) and that you’re not going to change your opinion. You’re showing them that you are open to new ideas and this is super important in changing someone else’s mind to your way of thinking.
Tip number three is to get the other person saying yes as fast as possible. You may begin your conversation on hobbies that you guys have, something that they’re crazy about, something that gets them saying yes. Because the more that you get them to say yes now, the more likely they are to say yes in the future. A conversation like this will get them to start to like you and maybe even more open up to ideas that you have. It builds up trust between the two of you.
Tip number four is to let the other person do a great amount of talking. If you let them talk more, you’re going to show that you actually care about their opinions and ideas, which will earn their respect in the end. By listening to them, you’re going to create a friendly relationship and build trust. So when you express your opinions, they will also show a willingness to listen. Never interrupt them when they are talking. Just listen patienly with an open mind, encourage them to talk even more and more so that when it’s your tum to talk, they’ll listen and say nothing.
The last tip is to let the other person feel like the idea was theirs. It’s wiser to make suggestions and let someone else come to the conclusion, then they have a sense of pride that it’s their idea. Giving someone the data and letting them come to the conclusion let them feel like it is their idea and they are proud of it.

The story I would like to tell happened about a year ago. I accepted a position in a company. John, who I knew, told me much about the job and took my curriculum vitae (简历) to his manager. I did not see him as a friend because at the time we did not take part in activities together outside of work, nor did our wives.
The first week was fine. Nothing was clearly strange with John at first until the second week, when our communication began to get a little strange. John began making conversations like "you would have had to pay an employment agency（职业介绍所）several hundred dollars for a job like this". I soon forgot his words till the next day when he made another similar conversation. Right then I started to really pay attention to what he meant. He acted as if I owed him money for helping me to get the job.
He began to get short with me and I had only been there for two weeks. He should train me in building our e-mail servers（服务器）. Instead, he went through the process so fast that even an experienced worker could hardly keep up. He would not slow down or check whether I was with him or not. If there was something wrong with a server, he would just deal it by himself and not stop to say anything like "you might want to remember this. " I was in a bad mood from then on.
By the third week I began to get tired of his condescension (傲慢). So I began to challenge him in a way that was only one to one. He would reply to a question of mine with a question or just make me repeat it, and then cut in on me. I began to hate him. Later I tried to avoid him as much as I could.
He stopped me one day and asked me what had happened. I told him he was very condescending. He asked me, “What can I do so that you will not feel like this way in the future?” I simply asked him to treat me with the same respect he would like to be treated with. He did it and we got along better slowly. I believed there was hope and finally we would become friends and now we are.
