Changing People’s Bad Impression On Us
Some of us have made bad first impressions in front of people we wanted to become good friends with.First impressions are important because they form the foundation on which all future thoughts about someone will be based.1.However,there are actions you can take to change people's bad impression of you.
●Apologize immediately.A sincere apology can go a long way because you will prove to everyone that you value their thoughts about you.Tell the people that you didn’t intend to offend(冒犯)them and that you wish to correct the situation.Explain the reasons why you acted the way you did in your apology.2.Otherwise,it will make others feel uncomfortable that you keep bringing up the past.
●Use humor.When you are around the people you made a bad impression in front of,play a small joke on yourself.Once they know you are not afraid to laugh at yourself,it can break up some of the tension.Remember to only direct humor at yourself.3.
●Do not make assumptions.After you have made a bad impression,it can be easy to assume that everyone thinks the worst of you.4.Instead of assuming what someone thinks about you,explain to her that you feel ashamed about how you acted and ask him how your behavior affected him.
●5.In order to overcome a bad first impression,your words and actions in the time to come must be consistently good.With enough time and patience,gaining trust and changing wrong beliefs is possible.

E.That way you can avoid any more feelings of discomfort.

G.Be mindful of your surroundings and sensitive in what you say to others.
When you’re out with a friend and take a photo of yourselves,do you know that you are also creating a work of art? Or that you are competing with Vincent van Gogh himself? Probably not. Your idea might be to show off your selfie(自拍)on WeChat or QQ,but you probably don’t think of the internet as a gallery or of yourself as an artist.
But the manager of London’s Saatchi Gallery,Nigel Hurst,thinks that the casual pictures we take of ourselves do have something in common with self-portraits by the great masters. In support of the idea,the Saatchi Gallery has a new exhibition called From Selfie to Self-Expression,which is running now until May 30.
It features well-known self-portraits from artists including those drawn by Dutch painters Van Gogh and Rembrandt. It also has selfies on show,which include one taken by US celebrity Kim Kardashian and another of former US President Barack Obama with former UK Prime Minister David Cameron,according to the BBC. The gallery is even encouraging visitors to add their own selfies to the show.
Hurst is perhaps not being 1 00 percent serious. He isn’t claiming that a snap you take of yourself in your favorite restaurant can be compared with a self-image painted by Van Gogh. But he does make a serious point. Once upon a time,it was only artists who could make images of themselves. They were the only ones,as Hurst told The Guardian,who “had the skills,materials and tools to create self-portraits. “Today,however,we all have that abil it y through our smartphones.”
And Hurst described the smartphone selfie as an example of “a transform in society using technology as a means of self-expression”. He told The Guardian:“The selfie generation is becoming the self-expression generation as each of us seeks to explore and share our inner creativity through the one artistic tool to which we all have access,the smartphone.”

A. To prove that self-taken pictures resemble the great masters’ self-portraits.
B. To support that self-taken pictures differ from the great masters’ self-portraits.
C. To show that self-taken pictures outweigh the great masters’ self-portraits in style.
D. To suggest that self-taken pictures have something to do with the great masters’ self-portraits.
