Keeping Up with the Jones

外婆，好想多一些了解你（下）
外婆养了好几只猫。其实算不上养，因为那些都是流浪猫，突然跑到院子来，给它们吃的，就留下来了。半年或一年后，他们又会突然消失。外婆不想念它们，名字也不取，一只消失，一只又来了。
外婆最害怕冲突，最喜欢亲人团聚。每次他在电话里叫大家回来聚，那种语气，有一丝胆怯。害怕打扰，又鼓起勇气，她一辈子付出，几乎没什么自我表达。全世界的外婆都是这样。我想多了解她一些，可她习惯了沉默，好像从来不需要得到些什么。

关于人的性格、心理感觉的一些词：
1.怕冲突：怕冲突的人喜欢大家都开开心心的。
2.胆怯：这位新同学小声地向大家介绍了自己，有些胆怯。
3.有勇气：能面对失败的人，都是有勇气的人。  他没有勇气做这个决定。
4.付出：他总是付出给别人，不在乎自己得到了什么。
5.表达：他是一个很表达的人。
6.沉默：父亲的爱是一种沉默的爱，总是说得很少，做得很多。
7.温和：外婆是一个温和的胖老太太。

Episodio 11: Los aretes de mariposa

I am Ann I talk about how to resolve problems at work caused due to lack of communication skills.
In this podcast, I want to talk about what to do when you don’t know the answer to a question or when you are clueless about the topic of discussion.
Usually, when people don’t know what to say they try to change the subject or dodge the question. In a more professional setting when you don’t have the answers, you say you will get back to them later. If you can get away with this, it’s great. In another video, I will share how to do so in worst-case scenarios. 
In another scenario where you don’t know what people are talking about, you end up listening and smiling pretending to be a part of the conversation. You want to be included and want to be part of the discussion but don’t know how to since that topic is unknown territory for you. So in this video, I want to share how to deal with difficult questions or speak on topics you don’t know a thing about. At the same time, this method will help you build rapport with people, keep the conversation going and come across as someone smart.
We will achieve this in three steps. First, when someone asks you a question you ask them to be more specific. In step 2 you make a personal comment and follow up with another question to dig for more information on that subject. And finally, you ask for the speaker’s opinion on the matter. 
Listen to the podcast and learn how?
