1. being aggressive其实不是太好的评语, 不卑不亢就好了. yes, i agree. Maybe I was too nervous to get the things done at that time. The previous layoff hurted me too much.
2.Toastmaster link , it is very good , Thanks. I want to try ...
3. Cold call is easy. Using the yellow book, LG teach me only 3 sentence: 1> Good morning, This is xx calling, May I talk with your HR depart or Accounting Depart? 2> I am calling to see if you have any volunteer or Co-op position ? 3> I am xx years accounting experience , we can arrange a interview to discuss more. Of course, normally, you use only one or two sentence is enough since most of the company stopped you before you continue.
4.看电视，报纸，书，多听广播，CBC Radio One最好，开车的路上听，有兴趣没听清楚的节目回头都可以在cbc.ca上面找到录音带和文字版本。高水平的记者和访谈嘉宾通常发言都比较精彩。在公司开会，注意看别人怎么做presentatiion，学习别人的说话和组织技巧。Thanks pingle(苹果); I think If I stay longer time in Canada , I will feel better .

Language is part of communication problem. Others like culture, lifestyle, interest.... are also important factors. For example, I can not fit in a place where mostly are new graduates because of generation gap. -richxie(土豆); 2009-4-26 (#33138@41)

不错, 态度和运气都挺好的. communication skill需要挺长时间去培养提高. 另外, being aggressive其实不是太好的评语, 不卑不亢就好了. -april(april); 2009-4-26 (#33143@41)

You maybe better than you think --for eg, you found a valunteer opportunity through cold call. BTW, "到什么机构去提高口语" is a good idea, for example, toastmaster club, you are free making mistakes & learning from mistakes without jeopadizing career. -babypig(babypig); 2009-4-26 (#33144@41)

Toastmaster link: -richxie(土豆); 2009-4-26 (#33167@41)

你很努力也很有韧性。看你的帖子写得也很有条理，想必做业务是把好手。去提高口语的想法很好很实际。好的老师有职业耐心和技巧帮你提高。而同事是没有责任帮助你交流的。看你现在工作中的交流已经能应付了。如果你还想提高，可以找个TUTOR。 -magnolia(magnolia); 2009-4-26 (#33145@41)

顶一个。 -toysrus(diver); 2009-4-26 (#33146@41)

我一直觉得communication skill和language skill是两码事，更多的是性格方面的原因。我在加拿大工作，最早的老板的确说过我应该提高英文的表达，但仍然肯定我善于跟人沟通。性格的弱点是可以克服的，不是说要彻底改变，是说克服到不影响工作就可以了。 -pingle(苹果); 2009-4-26 {140} (#33148@41)

跟同事闲聊方面，我通常同事里面会有一两个很说得来的，聊起来可以没完，也有一些同事除了工作就没话说。这不要紧的，毕竟不是每个人都能成为好朋友。

多看电视，报纸，书，多听广播，CBC Radio One最好，开车的路上听，有兴趣没听清楚的节目回头都可以在cbc.ca上面找到录音带和文字版本。高水平的记者和访谈嘉宾通常发言都比较精彩。在公司开会，注意看别人怎么做presentatiion，学习别人的说话和组织技巧。 -pingle(苹果); 2009-4-26 (#33151@41)

我也是在学英文.看到萍果说的＂cbc.ca上面找到录音带和文字版本＂,　可以详细说一下在那里能找到吗.我一直想找这些,但是找不到.我是因为发音不好,听力也不够好,想利用cbc.ca上的录音带和文字版本即练听力也练发音 -woaipuercha(我爱普洱茶); 2009-4-27 (#33178@41)

如果要听live广播，看这一页 http://www.cbc.ca/radio/ ，选自己想听的program。还有一个路径是知道节目的名字，按名称索引，http://www.cbc.ca/programguide/programs/，可以听当天和历史广播节目。 -pingle(苹果); 2009-4-27 {62} (#33191@41)
按节目名字来索引，这个里面不仅有live节目，也有过去节目的录音。
谢谢你,不过好像找不到文字材料 -woaipuercha(我爱普洱茶); 2009-4-27 (#33192@41)

我觉得你没有彻底搜索网页上可点的连接哦。我随便点了下，至少有些专题节目的Past shows是有文字版的，比如The Current，可以按日期选，但嘉宾的发言是没有文字的。 -pingle(苹果); 2009-4-27 (#33195@41)

哦,太谢谢你了.我是不够认真.我在刚登陆的时候上LINC课时,老师曾强烈推荐CBC.COM,　我上去搜过,找不到就算了.这次看到你的贴,也没有仔细试,就发贴跟你了.我再认真试试,找不到再问你.再次谢谢你 -woaipuercha(我爱普洱茶); 2009-4-28 (#33223@41)

我来加也四年了。经历与你大致相同。英语可以在工作中学习。等你来加十年后，会感到那不再是一个问题了。至于个性方面，很难改。CGA的PD课上有很多soft skill training，可一试。 -tomatosauce(番茄); 2009-4-26 (#33153@41)

LZ真是谦虚,外语不好敢打Cold Call? -bigbread(匹格); 2009-4-26 (#33161@41)

Don't judge who you are. See the woman with half body and she gave birth to two children. 共勉。 -rolialover(小快); 2009-4-26 (#33166@41)

帖子好，跟贴也实用，谢谢。只是＂心中永远的痛＂改成＂心中永远的动力＂是否更好？我觉得１）代沟比文化差异更明显，和同龄的人会有更多话题；２）同意苹果关于性格弱点的观点，在哪里发挥自己的性格和特长优势就好。人和人是不同的，同一茬韭菜都不一样长； -lastdayofschool(go to lala land); 2009-4-26 {36} (#33170@41)

３）一个团队需要不同性格的人来平衡。

英文也是偶心中永远的“痛”,呵呵。 -specialday(Joyce); 2009-4-28 {216} (#33208@41)

鼓励，鼓励。沟通和表达能力只要多练习就能得到改进，多听多观察周围的人是如何和别人communicate的，然后取长补短。

btw, 偶把你标题里的一个spelling error (or typo) 改了，“comminication" should be "communication" :)

Did anyone try Jerry Dai's English class? It is said he helped thousands of Chinese to speak good English. -paulh(paul); 2009-4-28 (#33212@41)
你这也痛，那也痛的，到底什么语言你不痛？告诉偶，好加强交流。 -toysrus(diver); 2009-4-28 (#33214@41)

SH dialect. :) -specialday(Joyce); 2009-4-28 (#33215@41)

多谢您的经验分享! -xiaojh(提木霍顿); 2009-4-28 (#33225@41)

谢谢分享。我觉得女性比男性在语言上有先天优势，成年人根本没法与小孩子比。个人感觉工作之后语言提高快，比那个link班强许多。至今只有一个亚裔给我纠正过发音，很搞笑。不是我发音纯正，老外太知道咱移民本来就老外嘛。 -windchill88(grace); 2009-5-8 (#33482@41)

This is really depends . My husband say I am a speaking slower, always slower half step , and can not catch up the exact meaning timly. -sunlady(sunflower); 2009-5-8 (#33502@41)

也对，不过我说的是起点相同，接受过同等教育的前提下。 -windchill88(grace); 2009-5-10 (#33561@41)
This is really depends . My husband say I am a speaking slower, always slower half step , and can not catch up the exact meaning timly. 没有一句写对的。国内的职员也很少有这么差的。 -rudy2000(_); 2009-5-16 (#33705@41)

COMMINICATION, I AM NEVER BE ALONE, RECOMMANDATION. 可以看出，是要加强你的CommUnication skill 了 -rudy2000(_); 2009-5-16 (#33704@41)

不要把nature和personality用混了 -huangfu(hotdog); 2009-7-2 (#34885@41)
