Some of us smile\, nod and quickly change the subject because k eeping the harmony feels safer than challenging someone. But especially wh en socialising across cultures\, constantly agreeing can actually make it harder to develop genuine connections\, interesting conversations need dif ferent opinions. At the other extreme are people who treat every disagreem ent like a competition that somebody has to win. Join Chris\, an IELTS and communication coach whose clubs are always full of laughter and interacti on\, for a workshop on one of the most valuable\, and surprisingly difficu lt\, communication skills we can develop: how to disagree openly while kee ping the conversation friendly. We’ll break disagreement down almost lik e a science. How do you challenge an idea without attacking the person? Ho w can your choice of words\, tone of voice and even the questions you ask completely change how disagreement feels? When should you soften your lang uage\, and when should you confidently stand your ground? Through examples \, mini-challenges\, roleplays and plenty of actual disagreement\, you’l l practise expressing strong opinions\, responding to opposing views and k eeping conversations moving rather than shutting them down. The goal isn ’t to become more agreeable\, it’s to become better at disagreeing. Ex pect lots of interaction\, some deliberately provocative opinions and plen ty of laughs as we practise turning disagreement from something uncomforta ble into one of the best ways to have deeper conversations and build stron ger connections. 当别人说了你完全不认同的话，你会怎么办 ？有人选择微笑点头，赶紧换个话题，毕竟维持和谐比 直接怼回去安全多了。但尤其在跨文化社交里，一直点 头附和反而更难交到真朋友，有意思的聊天本来就需要 不同观点碰撞。另一头呢，也有人把每次分歧都当成必 须争个输赢的battle。这次来跟Chris聊聊，他是雅思和沟通 教练，他的俱乐部向来是笑声不断、互动拉满。这场工 作坊聚焦一项特别实用、但也比想象中难掌握的沟通技 能：怎么在坦诚表达反对的同时，还能让对话保持友好 。 [...] DTSTAMP:20260904T030842Z LOCATION:China\,\, Shanghai SUMMARY:How To Disagree Without Starting A Fight END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
