How to Make a Better Conversation
Do you get nervous when you talk to someone Do you find it hard to have a conversation with a stranger If you have such worries，it is time for you to learn some more conversation skills. Here are some tips for making better conversations.
1. Listen carefully and show interest in others. One of the most important things is to listen to the person you speak to. If you are a good listener，you will find some good points to ask questions about. For example，if someone tells you their hobby and you can ask questions about it，they will surely be happy to continue the conversation.
2. Choose the right topic. Some of the best topics might be the weather，sports，music，films，food，or travel. However，it is impolite to ask someone′s age，weight，or other personal information. Also，if you don′t agree with others，don′t argue with them. Just move on to another topic.
3. Be honest and sincere. If you have no idea of a subject，just say “I don′t know much about it.” If you want to make the other person happy，mention his or her strong points. But don′t just pretend to be nice，because people can find out you are not telling the truth.
4. Pay attention to your body language. Sometimes it is just as important as your words. Don′t be nervous. Stand up straight，smile，and be yourself you have a lot to offer.
If you really work at it， you will find having conversations much easier.
