As the new years rolls in, I am sure we are all looking forward to an opportunity to start fresh after 2020\u2019s unprecedented turn of events. It\u2019s been a tough one,everyone has been doing their best to pull through and for once it feels okay to get emotional. Most importantly, now more than ever, it makes all the difference to show appreciation and feel appreciated by others. So today\u2019s post will focus on an often underrated yet hugely relevant topic: <strong>how to praise in English<\/strong>. Switching to home office, withstanding a prolonged period of confinement, homeschooling, attending multiple Zoom meetings, complying with sanitary protocols. Phew! I\u2019m sure we could all use some support and praise after all that went down this year.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7897\" style=\"width: 368px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft post-item__attachment\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7897\" class=\" wp-image-7897\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2020\/12\/career-3536331_640.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"358\" height=\"241\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2020\/12\/career-3536331_640.jpg 640w, https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2020\/12\/career-3536331_640-350x236.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 358px) 100vw, 358px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-7897\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Praising is important in any relationship (Image by mohamed Hassan from Pixabay)<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Praising<\/strong> essentially comes down to paying someone a compliment and expressing your satisfaction and admiration, and it can be a useful tool in many different contexts. In parenting, <strong>praising<\/strong> can be used to congratulate a child for making progress or following the rules. In business, praising is a powerful way to motivate employees and colleagues and boost their performance.
