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 metres down.

I will never forget the Flower Gardens. The trip was like a holiday but I also learnt new things about science and research projects. It was a great opportunity and it has made me think about my goals(目标)in life. The experience will help me work harder to become a scientist.

范文：

It s easy to say “thank you” But at the moment I realize I’ ve never said “thank you” to my English teacher Miss Gao who has really helped me a lot.

I used to be shy. But one thing changed me, It was in the English class. She asked me to answer a question. Because of being nervous I couldn’t say a word. She smiled and said, “Don’t be shy, I’m sure that you can do it.” Her words encouraged me a lot and I made it.

From then on, I became confident and I was interested in English. I feel lucky to be her student.

Though I have to say goodbye to her soon, I’ll never forget her. Thank you, Miss Gao.
