如何和老外同事相处？

[stv]

工作时间不长，工作还能应付，但在日常谈话聊天时感觉很难融入老外同事们当中，有时觉得很尴尬。请教过来人，有何高招？请不吝赐教！

先谢谢。

You only need to know what your manage want you to deliver.
Not need worry others.

My 2 cents:

Try to find topic with them. Read English news, books, and watch sports, know more popular stuff.
Show that you are interested in them, and would like to know more about their favorite things.

Or start a small personal talk with them, such as family, culture, pet, etc.


Also if you are open and willing to help, people will do the same to you.

放松一点，除了完成工作， 谈工作，其他的爱干什么就去自己做好了

我的经验，老美很开朗能侃，你业务好他们佩服你。由于文化等原因不太可能很close。不主动生事，做好本职就行了。能聊就聊（练说），不能聊就算了（当练听），常常想着自己的强项鼓励自己（壮胆），以别累着自己为为宜。

Kids (personal experience) and pets (I imagine)

是不是就是要哄着来？

我觉得，无论对老内还是老外，本着不评论、不判断的基本点和老师的乐乐呵呵难得糊涂方针就应该可以了吧。

I have true concerns about how to discipline my kids, and at the mean time not being overly strict. Grown up in China, I have have no clue what my kids are facing at school each day. Naturally, I have a lot of questions.

I usually ask how they discipline their kids, how they cultivate independence in their kids. How much freedom do they give their kids? What types of presents they give to kids at a certain age. How do they handle teen friendship? Playdate? Sleepover? etc.

Questions about activities. What sports classes, orchestra are good. Where to buy sports gears? What cautions should we bear in mind when kids do sports?

I usually ask male colleagues about kids sports such as ice hockey, skiing, canoeing etc. (My kids are not doing all these. But I 'd like to gather these information. Later when my situation improves, kids may have a chance to try.) I also ask what they would do if boy got bullied at school? etc.

Cindy, you are definitely a wonderful mom.  To do all of what you said need team work from both parents and of course participation of the kids.  If parents cannot make an agreement, then the kids will get nowhere.  If the kids were born with self discipline, thank be to GOD.  Otherwise, pray hard to GOD.

只要能做好manager交代的事，就是最好的相处。
对其他银，不卑不亢就中了。
