Opinion1: Well, when we talk to others, it’s a good idea if we can place ourselves inother people’s shoes （站在别人的立场）and agree with them, because it’s a good way to strengthen ourrelationship（强化关系） and promote mutual understanding（促进相互理解）. There are different ways to see things and if what they say domake sense（说得通）, we have no reason to disagree（没有理由去反对）.

Opinion2:Even when we hold a different view（持不同意见）, we don’t have to argue with themimmediately（不必立刻争论）. We’d better listen quietly （安静倾听）and show our respect and understanding first（先表示尊重和理解）, and share our opinion （表达观点）and try topersuade them later（之后再尝试说服）, that way, they will bemore willing to accept our ideas（更加愿意接受我们的观点）.
