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.
Listen and read
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.
省略了that/who/whom的定语从句，修饰the person
（可数名词）听者
动词不定式（短语）作后置定语，修饰points
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.
（形容词）个人的；私人的 常用在名词前作定语。
赞成；同意
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.
pretend (not) to do sth 假装（不）做某事
tell the truth 说实话
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.
pay attention to 注意；关注
其中to是介词，后接名词、代词或动词-ing形式。
◇ Everyone should pay attention to following traffic rules.
每个人都应该注意遵守交通规则。
If you really work at it, you will find having conversations much easier.
be yourself 行为自然；不做作
◇ Be yourself and don’t let anybody push you around.
做你自己，不要让任何人牵着鼻子走。
Language points
1. find it+形容词+to do sth 发现做某事是……的，其中it作
形式宾语，真正的宾语是后面的动词不定式（短语）。
◇ I found it difficult to develop good habits.
我发现很难养成好习惯。
拓展：与find这一用法类似的动词还有think，believe等。
◇Many people think it impolite to ask a woman’s age.
许多人认为问女人的年龄是不礼貌的。
2. Here is/are... 这里有/是……
本句为倒装句。当here位于句首，句子的谓语是be动词或 come，go等不及物动词，且主语是名词时，句子的主
语和谓语要颠倒位置，即“Here+谓语+主语（名词）.”。
◇ Here is a fridge. 这里有一台冰箱。
◇ Here comes the school bus. 校车来了。
拓展：here/there位于句首时，若句子的主语是代词，则
主谓不倒装。
◇Here she is. 她在这里。
3. show interest in 对……表现出兴趣
◇ Many boys in our class show interest in football.
我们班很多男生对足球感兴趣。
拓展：show no interest in 对……不感兴趣
◇ I show no interest in online shopping.
我对网购不感兴趣。
相当于have interest in或be interested in
4. surely（副词）想必；必定
当用于肯定句时，表示对自己的话很有把握，并希望别人同意自己；当用于否定句或疑问句时，表示
质疑、惊讶或反问。
◇ AI will surely play an important role in future life.
人工智能必定会在未来生活中发挥重要作用。
◇ Surely you don’t believe him
你肯定不会相信他吧？
5. move on (to sth)
①换话题
◇ Before we move on to another topic, does anyone
have any questions
在我们进入另一个话题之前，还有人有问题吗？
②开始做（别的事）
◇ If you finish reading the essay, you can move on to
the exercises.
如果你读完这篇文章，你可以开始做练习。
6. have no idea 不知道
后接名词、代词或动词-ing形式时，须加of/about；后接从句或“特殊疑问词+动词不定式”结构时，of可以省略。
◇ Jack has no idea of photography.
杰克对摄影一无所知。
