Don't worry too much.

birdswimming(feifei)

本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛I am working in a company which I am the only non-canadian person. Sometimes I feel boring and lonely. People here normally are friendly, but it's still uncomfortable to talk with them using the second language especially when you just want to relax and talk. Try to ask them something you are interested in. In this way, they will be happy because they feel that they can help somebody, and you will be happy too because you can learn more. It's really not good to keep silence in the office. Say she or he looks great in the morning and say have a nice night at the end of the day. If you see their children's photos on the desk, you can say they are pretty or.... Communication is the only way to create a nice working environment for you.

It's must be tired to drive on the high way for one hour everyday. But I am sure when you are getting used to do that, you will feel better. Driving can be terrible if you are nervous. But, It's also can be fun.

I still remember once rolia DX WJang said, "smile, girls. Nobody will get mad when a girl working with a smile on their faces. "

Good luck!

帮你UP一下。我目前也是精神持续紧张，因有一门非常有用的课要跟本地UNDERGRAD。做TEAM WORK，加上本人较内向，犹豫于选这门课与不选之间，又不知如何突破性格弱点，真是头都大了。 -lazycat(爱已成歌); 2002-1-6 (#324818@0)

挑战自我。 -mildkiller(爱,已成往事); 2002-1-6 (#324842@0)
如果我是你还非选不可 -patpat(乃胡侃而已); 2002-1-6 (#324849@0)
没啥，你要是先把自己当成外人了，那哪能成？老外也是人，就是长相不同而已，怕什么。 -heian(㊣黑暗天使); 2002-1-6 (#324852@0)
硬着头皮上！You will get along with them. -lemondy(新年快乐®老柠檬); 2002-1-6 (#324854@0)
感谢各位的鼓励与支持，让我很感动。开始我也想挑战自我，但怕偷鸡不着蚀把米，没挑战成反而弄得最后成绩不好。因这门课还有很多SOCIAL WORK，最后成绩里小组其他成员的评价也很重要。最近心情真的很不好。：( -lazycat(爱已成歌); 2002-1-6 (#324861@0)

给点信心自己吧, 又不是选"THE WEAKEST LINK", 你怕什么. 再说了, "丑媳妇总要见公婆"(SORRY), 现在"现眼"总比将来"现眼"强. -patpat(乃胡侃而已); 2002-1-6 (#324870@0)

在楼上各位的鼓励下，俺已take了这门课，不行到2月份再给它drop掉呗。 -lazycat(爱已成歌); 2002-1-7 (#326112@0)

多与别人沟通...."遭人嫉妒"怎么说? -patpat(乃胡侃而已); 2002-1-6 (#324847@0)

1. 来回1小时=nothing; 2. what's wrong with 全英语环境? you like a 全Francais 环境? 3. 遭别人嫉妒=? -tongbuyong(BorderCrosser); 2002-1-6 (#324855@0)

good point -checkme(checkme); 2002-1-6 (#324864@0)
他是不是说全英语环境跟老外没啥好说的？ -lazycat(爱已成歌); 2002-1-6 (#324877@0)

it is a culture thing, but it is not a big issue, 全英语环境 is the best possible environemnt which benefits your professional development (100% frank), -tongbuyong(BorderCrosser); 2002-1-6 {421} (#324887@0)
work-related discussion is a must, lunchhour small talk is pretty easy going too. knowing a topic, talk more, not knowing much, play by ear.

one point to you--- impression is that you are from (or in) UW, do not be shy, relative lack of confidence is my compatriots' nature,which should be overcome I was there doing study/RA/TA years, local undergrads are the same human being as we are. BE YOURSELF. and good luck.

thanks a lot. -tianfue(tomy); 2002-1-6 (#324890@0)

工作英语没有问题。主要是大家聊天的时候我基本查不上话。原因：听不懂AND没词。 -tianfue(tomy); 2002-1-6 (#324880@0)

unless ur english is really confined to ur subject, u should know a little bit about outside world---sports, stocks, family, entertainment... like anywhere else, -tongbuyong(BorderCrosser); 2002-1-6 {338} (#324893@0)
even tho u use chinese and in china, u still face 聊天的时候我基本查不上话, just show how nice and how ez-to-get-along you are. if u r relatively new in ur team, that is fine, but if u have been there fro awhile, and still unwilling to or unable to communicate with them in out-of-major topics, better rootcause from your own. good luck

老兄，他们嫉妒你什么？嫉妒你会将中文还是嫉妒你是中国人？别总是看别人不顺眼了，you can change nothing but yourself....... -forex(我认为); 2002-1-6 (#324874@0)

嫉妒我学历高，电脑好，学得快。 -tianfue(tomy); 2002-1-6 (#324882@0)

既然知道问题所在，解决起来不就很容易了嘛。学历高没有办法，电脑好，学得快，你难道不会学得慢点吗？锋芒必露有时候并不是一件好事。现阶段，跟同事的关系可能要比你显得非常聪明更重要。改变自己总是要比试图改变别人容易许多。 -forex(我认为); 2002-1-6 (#324891@0)

老兄之话不无道理，可是我要学的东西太多了，总想在某段时间内完成它，所以就给自己点压力，在说工作是立足之本，工作彻底拿下了，下一个问题就是该死的ENGLISH。中国有句俗话：男不和女斗，看来不是着回事。 -tianfue(tomy); 2002-1-6 (#324912@0)

都说老中比较含蓄, 阁下说话怎么....当真是"时代不行了, 男女都一样" -patpat(乃胡侃而已); 2002-1-6 (#324892@0)
be prepared to locate a more suitable job for u, meanwhile u work there nicely. -tongbuyong(BorderCrosser); 2002-1-6 (#324894@0)

Don't worry too much. -birdswimming(feifei); 2002-1-6 {1189} (#324904@0)

水鸟讲得不错, BUT IT'S MORE THAN JUST THAT: -patpat(乃胡侃而已); 2002-1-6 {392} (#324919@0)
TALK WITH THEM WHEN YOU FEEL GOOD. EVERYTHING FAMILAR CAN BE THE TOPIC: DOG, CAT, BASEBALL, SMOKING, DRINKS, SEX...JUST TRY TO SPEAK AS FAST AS YOU CAN AND BRING ABOUT AS MANY JOKES AS POSSIBLE. NO ONE WILL SAY "HEY MAN, BUGS IN YOUR GRAMMAR" OR "HEY YOU SHOULD USE THIS OR THAT TERM", UNLESS YOU REALLY FUCK UP THE COMMUNICATION. ALL OF SUDDEN, YOU FIND YOU ARE ONE OF THE GROUP ALREADY!

Thank you for your suggestion. I will try to talk "faster and faster". Also "prepare more and more topics " before talking with them. -birdswimming(feifei); 2002-1-6 (#324923@0)

Thank you very much! I have worked in this company for half year. at first, I am nice to every one and they are nice to me. later on when i want to say something, some guys 噎 me. so, little by little i have no words. -tianfue(tomy); 2002-1-6 (#324929@0)

treat that as a training and joke, or forget it, or use your punchline, politely, and in a proper time, fvck back to him/her. apparently ur rivals are quite mean. -tongbuyong(BorderCrosser); 2002-1-6 (#324937@0)

I guess you are wrong. See if the girl is a beauty and smile, somebody must be mad then. :)) -pyramid(金字塔); 2002-1-6 (#324952@0)

我跟你情况完全一样，单位没有一个中国人，只是我现在在妒忌别人，他们英语好，经验也比我多十四到五十年。怎样才能在工作中放松，或者享受工作的乐趣呢？ -pyramid(金字塔); 2002-1-6 (#324911@0)

我从来不嫉妒别人，临渊羡鱼，不如退而接网，LEARN FROM THEM -tianfue(tomy); 2002-1-6 (#324920@0)
想那么多干嘛？拿你的工资，做你的工作，回家享受。很多东西可以弥补，唯有时间带来的经历不行。 -greybluesky(㊣SLK); 2002-1-7 (#325374@0)

Thank you, touched by your encouragement! -pyramid(金字塔); 2002-1-7 (#326102@0)

讽刺我，还是真心的。想太多容易老，再说他们没准还嫉妒你呢，你会两种语言，我做了两了公司的老外都这么说过。 -greybluesky(㊣SLK); 2002-1-8 (#326850@0)

I am always the person who think too much. -pyramid(金字塔); 2002-1-9 (#327942@0)

那从现在开始就歇歇啦。世界不会因你的思考而改变。 -greybluesky(㊣SLK); 2002-1-9 (#328087@0)

实在不行就辞职吧，身体重要。 -edwinsheng(Ed); 2002-1-6 (#325056@0)

Do some sport, and short trip, maybe help to relax. -babyface(Tracy); 2002-1-7 (#325371@0)

yes, exercise is very important. i do exercise every day. -lilyba(Sunshine); 2002-1-7 (#325410@0)

1身体，不行就辞 2 积极心态，面对挑战 3俯低一阵，积累经验，准备跳槽 4我的话完了。。：-） -buhello(game ur life); 2002-1-7 (#325384@0)

All my colleagues in the small comanpy are very nice, except I can't understand fully what they said when they talk with each other. -happy2002(Fog); 2002-1-8 {104} (#326780@0)

So choosing a smaller group is probably a better resolution, at least before you get your English ready.
