Maybe this is the easiest to do. When you’re wearing comfortable clothes and look good in them, then half of your job is done. Starting your day by looking at yourself in the mirror and feeling happy help a lot in becoming confident.Talk confidently. If you are always softspoken, then people will think of you as a soft person without power. You need to have a correct speed so that your speech is clear and full of confidence. Talking too fast may make you look nervous.Stand confidently. A good manner (举止) helps a lot. If you look around, this is really common, as you will see other successful people walking and standing in a confident manner.Feel confident. People keep on wondering how to be confident, but they don’t think that it is much about one’s mental state (精神状态). Remember whenever you are going to make an important conversation, always keep in a good mental state and the conversation will be successful.1. How can you make yourself look confident?A. Find a good job.B. Buy a clear mirror.C. Wear proper clothes.2. The successful people walk and stand ________.A. at a correct speedB. in a confident mannerC. in uncomfortable clothes3. If you make an important conversation, you should ________.A. keep in a good mental stateB. wear uncomfortable clothesC. look at yourself in the mirror4.
