A

I was driving after school on Monday from Dublin to Drogheda and on my way home, I saw a wallet lying on the roadside. I thought the wallet must belong to the driver in front of me, because he had smoked there. I sounded the horn twice but he didn’t hear. So I stopped and picked up the wallet. I checked the wallet to see if I could get any phone number to call. I found and called two numbers but I was told they were wrong numbers.

Later, I found a driving license and decided to drive to his house in Termonfeckin according to the address on the license. It is a 30-minute drive away from Drogheda. When I got to his house, I saw his wife and the first thing she asked was if I had found a wallet. I started smiling and said yes. The lady was really happy and called her husband. He ran to us at the gate and welcomed me to their house. After giving the wallet to him, he checked to see whether everything was inside. They offered me 20 dollars for gasoline(汽油) but I refused.

When we are talking to someone,we tend to change someone else's mind to our way of thinking. And we may often find it difficult to do that. So here are five tips on how to change someone's mind.

The first one is never to turn the conversation into an argument. It should be a conversation where you show your opinions and the facts that you've collected. By showing them the facts,we want to tell other people that we are right. But emotionally,they may not totally agree with what you say. So when you are trying to change someone's mind,try to keep it as a conversation and not an argument.

The second tip is never to say that you are wrong. If someone makes a statement that you think is wrong,it's better to point it out by saying,"I thought otherwise but I might be wrong,let's look at the facts. "The key is to say that you might be wrong,not that you are wrong. This opens up the other person to look at the data again and shows them that you're not bullheaded（頑固的）and that you're not going to change your opinion. You're showing them that you are open to new ideas and this is super important in changing someone else's mind to your way of thinking.

Tip number three is to get the other person saying yes as fast as possible. You may begin your conversation on hobbies that you guys have,something that they're crazy about,something that gets them saying yes. Because the more that you get them to say yes now,the more likely they are to say yes in the future. A conversation like this will get them to start to like you and maybe even more open up to ideas that you have. It builds up trust between the two of you.

Tip number four is to let the other person do a great amount of talking. If you let them talk more you're going to show that you actually care about their opinions and ideas,which will earn their respect in the end. By listening to them,you're going to create a friendly relationship and build trust. So when you express your opinions,they will also show a willingness to listen. Never interrupt them when they are talking. Just listen patiently with an open mind,encourage them to talk even more and more so that when it's your turn to talk,they'll listen and say nothing.

The last tip is to let the other person feel like the idea was theirs. It's wiser to make suggestions and let someone else come to the conclusion, then they have a sense of pride that it's their idea. Giving someone the data and letting them come to the conclusion, let them feel like it is their idea and they take pride in it.
