My experience is as follows:
1. Speak slowly and be meticulous (can you do that?)
2. Be very calm about everything, and try to stay calm, even if it's just表面上 calm.
3. You must get rid of the bad habit of showing off.
4. Speak clearly, and instead of giving people the impression of being simple-minded, it's best to give off a feeling of being polite and refined, with a slight hint of cuteness without appearing immature.
