Five ways to make conversation with anyone

Conversations are links, which means when you have a conversation with a new person a link gets formed and every conversation you have after that moment will strengthen the link.

You meet new people every day: the grocery worker, the cab driver, new people at work or the security guard at the door. Simply starting a conversation with them will form a link.

Here are five simple ways that you can make the first move and start a conversation with strangers.

41.____________

Suppose you are in a room with someone you don’t know and something within you says “I want to talk with this person”—this is something the mostly happens with all of us. You wanted to say something—the first word—but it just won’t come out. It feels like it is stuck somewhere, I know the feeling and here is my advice just get it out.

Just think: that is the worst that could happen? They won’t talk with you? Well, they are not talking with you now!

I truly believe that once you get that first word out everything else will just flow. So keep it simple: “Hi”, “Hey” or “Hello”—do the best you can to gather all of the enthusiasm and energy you can, put on a big smile and say “Hi”。

42.____________

It’s a problem all of us face: you have limited time with the person that you want to talk with and you want to make this talk memorable.

Honestly, if we got stuck in the rut of “hi”, “hello”, “how are you?” and “what’s going on?” you will fail to give the initial jolt to the conversation that’s can make it so memorable.

So don’t be afraid to ask more personal questions. Trust me, you’ll be surprised to see how much people are willing to share if you just ask.

43.____________

When you meet a person for the first time, make an effort to find the things which you and that person have in common so that you can build the conversation from that point. When you start conversation from there and then move outwards, you’ll find all of a sudden that the conversation becomes a lot easier.

44.____________

Imagine you are pouring your heart out to someone and they are just busy on their phone, and if you ask for their attention you get the response “I can multitask”.

So when someone tries to communicate with you, just be in that communication wholeheartedly. Make eye contact, you can feel the conversation.

45.____________

You all came into a conversation where you first met the person, but after some time you may have met again and have forgotten their names. Isn’t that awkward!

So remember the little details of the people you met or you talked with; perhaps the places they have been to the place they want to go, the things they like, the thing the hate—whatever you talk about.

When you remember such thing you can automatically become investor in their wellbeing. So the feel a responsibility to you to keep that relationship going.That’s it. Five amazing ways that you can make conversation with almost anyone. Every person is a really good book to read, or to have a conversation with!

A fifth grader gets a homework assignment to select his future career path from a list of occupations. He ticks “astronaut” but quickly adds “scientist” to the list and selects it as well. The boy is convinced that if he reads enough. He can explore as many career paths as he likes. And so he reads—everything from encyclopedias to science fiction novels.

41. 【答案】B

【解析】該小標(biāo)題需要涵蓋三段內(nèi)容。第一段開始說到你想跟陌生人說話，但是“it just won’t come out”，提到說話說不出來，隨后直接出現(xiàn)我的建議“My advice：just get it out“，即去說。所以選B：Just say it去說

42.【答案】F

【解析】該小標(biāo)題下第一段第一句話就說了你時間有限“you have limited time”，然后說到如果陷到寒暄當(dāng)中“hi，hello，how are you， what is going on”會讓對話沒法令人印象深刻。下一段“So”表明結(jié)論，去問更多個人問題“personal questions”，所以選F：Skip the small talk跳過寒暄

43.【答案】D

【解析】第一句話就說到了第一次交談要找到共同點“have in common”，從這個共同點“that point”來開展對話“build the conversation”，所以選D：find the “me too”s找到共同點

44.【答案】G

【解析】第一段先舉例，說你跟人講心事時，別人分心干別的。然后下一段“So”表明結(jié)論，人家跟跟你溝通，你要全心投入“wholeheartedly”。所以選G：Pay a unique complement專注

45.【答案】E

【解析】第一句話就提到了忘記只見過一面的人的名字“name”?！癝o”后面又提到回憶地點“places”和好惡的事情“things”等細節(jié)，所以選E：Name，places，things
