4.1 Negotiation Tips for Teens

Whenever you need someone to see your point of view, negotiating skills are crucial. Without them you won't probably get a later curfew, ? (persuade) your buddy to watch a horror film with you or get permission from the teacher to ? (submit, return) your work next week.

Here are five useful negotiation tips for you:

1. Listen

It is ? (essential) to understand people ? (react) better when they feel that you hear what they have to say. Whatever happens, always keep your cool and ? (seem) interested.The more you raise your voice, the less likely you will be heard. So hide your ? (anxiety) and don't lose your head no matter what happens!

2. Build trust

Building trust is a long process, and if there are many?s (occasion) where trust has been ? (endangered), it is difficult to ? (get back). Your parents understand that you are not perfect and don't expect that from you either. But if you make a mistake, ? (admit) it and never try to ? (conceal, hide) a lie with more dishonesty.

3. Aim for a win-win result

Ideally, a negotiation should end in a situation in which everyone has reached a deal they are happy with. For example, when you're moving out and need ? (help), don't ? (focus on) the money your parents might lose, but on the extra space they'll now have at their house.

4. Overreach

This negotiation method is very ? (difficult) to use effectively, but the rewards can be enormous. Overreaching means that you set high goals, communicate them convincingly, and appear ? (honestly) shocked to hear how far apart you are in your wishes. For instance, if you want your curfew to be 10.00 pm, start by arguing it should be 02.00 am. When your parents then suggest 8.00 pm, the 10.00 o'clock curfew may seem like a ? (reciprocal, shared) compromise. However, keep in mind that this negotiation method is not easy to ? (succeed in), and thus your parents may think you're crazy.

5. Know your limits

Finally, it is important to know when you should stop pushing it. At the end of the day, some things might be unnegotiable. It's your parents' job to keep you safe and sound, so remember that you won't always get your way no matter what you try.

Comedian Ismo Leikola's







timing and sharp punchlines won him the title of"The Funniest Person in the World" in 2014. Since then he has relocated to Los Angeles and now



regularly at various LA comedy clubs across the US.

"Finnish comedian Ismo



absurdity of American life, in language"

Ismo went to Los Angeles in 2015 after a successful career in his homeland. He decided it was time to swim in a bigger pond, comedy-wise.

"It seemed impossible to just go to America. Then suddenly the opportunity opened when I did the competition in L.A.: I had contacts here and then it was a possibility. Then it was a no-brainer: If I don't see how it goes, I'm going to regret it for the rest of my life. I didn't even think of it as a choice. It was obvious. It was like destiny."

But it also meant that he had to completely



his act. In Finland, he was an observational comedian who



politics and talked about everyday life.

In America, much of his act revolves around fish-out-of-water cultural



In particular, Ismo likes



about English words.
In 2018, he spent all of his allotted time on Conan talking about his confusion over the
seemingly conflicting complexities of the word 'ass' (Dumb-ass is bad, but bad-ass is good … etc.)
It established Ismo as an observational comedian able to



absurdities in North American culture and language from an outsider's perspective. It has served him well, but also required a bit of a reinvention.

"I write a lot anyway and now when I'm here I write mostly in English and stuff about America and being here. Definitely, so many jokes don't work in both languages: at least half doesn't translate at all because it is so language-based."

His



of America is fitting. Ismo's introduction to stand-up actually came from the U.S., not his home country.

"YouTube didn't exist when I was a kid and the Internet was just starting," he says. "So my first introduction to stand-up was watching Seinfeld. The last 30 seconds of the episode."

As he got older, he watched VHS tapes of Eddie Murphy. Later, he did start going to live stand-up in Finland. But he



his love of comedy back even further."When I did presentations in school, I was always trying to make them funny and I really loved performing and really loved funny things and jokes and misunderstanding songs."

Now that he is going into his fifth year in the U.S., Ismo says his relationship with the country is changing. He still avoids political humour, but his observations have started to



the more



idiosyncrasies of America, such as email and phone etiquette and the American love of polite but



small talk.

People often

We prefer to buy and

People in western countries

tea that may be

We need gas and oil that are

Sometimes rich and wealthy people buy
