Building rapport

Now I will show you some language tips if you want to get a job and to have a good relationship with your interviewer.
I want to look at building rapport, to examine how to build close professional relationships.

Now, I’m sure you are asking: “What exactly do you mean by rapport?” Well, for me rapport is a kind of between people, a sort of emotional connection, a positive relationship in which there is a deep understanding and liking. We often say people who have rapport are on the same wavelength they are even .

Now the key question to ask is: “Can we learn rapport skills?” And I think yes and I’d like to look at two specific .

The first is . Now this means your behaviour to the behaviour of others, becoming . It could mean using the same words, which others use when you talk. So someone says to you “It’s a good solution” you say “Yes I agree it’s a good because…” rather than “Yes, that’s an interesting idea”. So this mirroring of words has a real on your partner. It makes him feel that you understand and his reality. But all this demands a lot of and a lot of from your side, careful observation, careful listening and very careful control of what you say and how you say it. You need to do the same with , to communicate with a similar of voice, speed of speech, arm movements, even the way you sit. And this is not copying or to . I see it as a really positive effort to be and to connect to another human being so that you can really work together effectively.

The second technique is what I call positive . Now this means saying and doing things so that the other person will develop a similarly positive . It means for example talking about the future rather than the past. It means focusing on people’s rather than their weaknesses. It means bringing energy and to the way you communicate.But be patient rapport building is a set of skills which can take time to . But, if you can develop these skills you’ll really have the power to build the you need to do business very effectively.

CMYK AND RGB

Hello buddies, now I am going to show you an article about something very interesting in the Graphic Design area
The CMYK color model is used in the printing process. To understand it, it is best to start with RGB color. The RGB color model (made up of red, green and blue) is used in your computer monitor, and is what you will view your projects in while still on screen. These colors, however, can only be viewed with natural or produced light, such as in the computer monitor, and not on a printed page. This is where CMYK comes in.

CMYK in Graphic Design
Graphic designers have to deal with the issue of seeing their work on screen in RGB, although their final printed piece will be in CMYK. Digital files should be converted to CMYK before sending to printers, unless otherwise specified. Because of this issue, it is important to use “swatches” when designing if exact color matching is important. Swatches provide a designer and client with a printed example of what a color will look like on paper. A selected swatch color can then be chosen in Photoshop (or a similar program) to insure the desired results. Even though the on-screen color won’t exactly match the swatch, you know what your final color will look like. You can also get a “proof” from a printer, which is an example of your printed piece provided before the entire job is run.

Next I  will tell you some grammar terms which are very important when you are going to analyze sentences
Adjective : In grammar, an adjective is a word whose main syntactic role is to qualify a noun or noun phrase, giving more information about the object signified.
Adverb: An adverb is a part of speech. Adverbs can modify verbs, adjectives (including numbers), clauses, sentences and other adverbs.
Conjunction: A conjunction is a joiner, a word that connects (conjoins) parts of a sentence.
Interjections: Interjections demonstrate emotion and are usually separated from the rest of the sentence by an exclamation point, and sometimes by a comma if the emotion is less stressed.
Noun: A noun is the name of a person, place, thing, or idea. Whatever exists, we assume, can be named, and that name is a noun.
Preposition: A preposition usually indicates the temporal, spatial or logical relationship of its object to the rest of the sentence as in the following examples:
Pronoun: A pronoun can replace a noun or another pronoun. You use pronouns like "he," "which," "none," and "you" to make your sentences less cumbersome and less repetitive.
Verb: The verb is perhaps the most important part of the sentence. A verb or compound verb asserts something about the subject of the sentence and express actions, events, or states of being.

Now I selected some sentences and I will show what is the grammar use that each one has:
1) The (definite article) CMYK color model (nouns) is (verb) used (adjective) in (preposition) the printing (adjective) process (noun).

2) RGB (noun) is (verb) what (pronoun) you(pronoun) will view(verb) your (pronoun) projects (noun) in (preposition) while still on(preposition) screen(noun)

3) This (pronoun) is (verb) where (conjunction) CMYK (noun) comes (verb) in (preposition).

1) Graphic designers (noun) have (verb) to (preposition) deal(verb) with(preposition) the (definite article) issue(noun) of (preposition) seeing(conjunction) their (possessive adj.) work (noun) on(preposition) screen in(preposition) RGB(noun)

2) files(noun) should (auxiliary verb) be (verb) converted (verb) to(preposition) CMYK(noun) before(preposition) sending(verb) to(preposition) printers(noun)

3) it is(verb) important(adjective) to(preposition) use(verb) “swatches” (noun)

Falling in love

This is a video that my teacher showed in my class, all my partners had to say what our opinion was about it.

Fall from Lainy Voom on Vimeo.

Well, in my opinion, the video shows the girl thinking of a guy, remembering things about him and seeing a picture, the colors around her tell us that she is kind of sad because she cant see him, and then the colors change into blue and cool ones,the video show the people how deep can a person fall for another one, it shows the girl falling into the water and then into some grass, she flyes into the sky and some other things and then they see eachother and they share a love hug.
