Last weekend, my friend and I went to a Chinese restaurant. When we arrived, the waiter gave us menus. I ordered a Kung Pao Chicken, a bowl of rice and a cup of tea. My friend ordered a fried noodles and a glass of water. We waited for a while and the food came. The Kung Pao Chicken was delicious and so was the rice. Friends said the fried noodles are delicious. After we finished eating, we asked the waiter to pay. We paid by mobile phone which was very convenient. I enjoyed my meal this time, the food was good and the service was excellent.

Unexpectedly, the old man threw another shoe out of the window. His behavior surprised the people around him. 
At this time, the old man explained with a smile, "the remaining shoe, no matter how good, how expensive, and how suitable for me, is of no use to me. If I throw it out, someone may pick up a pair of shoes, maybe he can still wear it!"

Effective virtual communication in business thrives on five key practices:

Clarity and Concision:  Craft messages tailored to the platform. Emails should be well-structured with clear subject lines and concise language.  Video presentations benefit from strong visuals that support, not replace, spoken points. Regardless of the medium, focus on the core message and avoid jargon or unnecessary complexity.

Active Listening and Engagement:  Virtual environments lack nonverbal cues, so active listening is crucial. Pay close attention to what's being said, ask clarifying questions, and paraphrase key points to demonstrate understanding. Encourage participation through polls, breakout rooms, or chat features to keep everyone engaged.

Professionalism and Etiquette:  Maintain a professional online presence. Dress appropriately for video calls, use a clean and distraction-free virtual background, and practice good microphone etiquette (muting when not speaking).  Be mindful of time zones when sending emails and respect colleagues' schedules by avoiding unnecessary interruptions.

Leveraging Technology:  Utilize the tools available to enhance your communication.  Screen sharing allows for visual explanations, online whiteboards facilitate brainstorming, and breakout rooms foster focused discussions.  Mastering these features creates a more dynamic and informative virtual experience.

Building Rapport and Trust:  While physical presence is absent, fostering connection is vital.  Start meetings with icebreakers to create a lighter mood. Use video calls whenever possible to build rapport through facial expressions and body language.  Be transparent in your communication and acknowledge contributions from all participants to create a sense of trust and inclusivity.

5 Best Practices of Effective Virtual Communication - EP 36

It's the biggest thing in the night sky, so it's no surprise the moon appears in many English expressions. Here are a few examples.

If someone says they "love you to the moon and back," it means they love you very much, because their love is as large as the distance between the Earth and the moon – an average of 384,000 kilometers.

This expression is used in Guess How Much I Love You, a 2008 children's book by Sam McBratney. It's usually said to romantic partners or people in your family.

If someone is talking "moonshine" it means they're talking about something that isn't real or is foolish. But more often someone will offer you a drink of "moonshine," which is a word used in the US for illegal liquor.

If something doesn't happen very often, it can be said to only happen "once in a blue moon." A "blue moon" isn't really blue – it's either when a second full moon is seen in the same month, or the third full moon when four full moons are seen in the same season.

Both types of blue moon don't happen very often, only about once every 2.7 years.
