Here is some advice about how to listen: ‎ Show the other person that you are listening. ‎ Look at them. ‎ Smile and nod quite often.‎ And shake your head or raise your eyebrows (眉毛) if you don't follow what they are saying. ‎ Don't tap (轻拍) your foot because this will show impatience.‎ Don't look at your watch unless you really have to know the time.'

A good listener can make people feel good, and is as popular at a party as a good talker. But just listening isn't enough. One should listen cleverly by trying to find out what the other person would really like to talk about. ‎ ‎41.

But do you know how comes the afternoon tea?‎ We should thank for a lady, who had created the custom of afternoon tea in 1840. She was Anna. At that time, people of upper class usually had supper at around 8 o’clock in the evening. But Anna began to feel hungry at round ‎4 in the afternoon. This had left her a long time of 4 hours. Therefore, she told the servant to bring a tray of bread, butter and cakes to her room during the afternoon. It became a habit of hers. Soon, she invited her friends to join her.‎ After Anna started enjoying the afternoon tea, women of the rich did the same in their homes and it later became a fashionable social event, giving a chance for people to meet new friends and get news or new stories.‎ The traditional afternoon tea usually contains a teapot of tea, several teacups and cakes. English tea is mainly India, which was originally transported by the East India Company.‎ Today, afternoon tea has been simplified (精简的) because of the change of lifestyle. People use tea bags instead of tea leaves. Cakes are no longer as various as those long time ago. They usually are some pieces of biscuits or cakes.‎ But if you want to experience a real English afternoon tea, I would advise you to go to Devonshire, where produces good cream and famous cream tea.‎ ‎51.
