Do you like to meet new people? Do you like to talk, or are you shy? Whatever your answers are, these tips can help you.

★Have some topics ready to start a conversation.

Say something about the weather or the place you’re in. Talk about the weekend we all have something to say about .

★Make the conversation interesting

Read the latest news. Read restaurant and movie reviews. Find out about the popular music or what’s new in fashion or sports.

★Be a good listener.

Keep eye contact（眼神交流）and say, “Yes,” “Hmm,” “Uh-huh,” “Right,” and “I know.” And say, “Really? That’s interesting.” It encourages people to talk.

★Don’t be boring.

Don’t just say, “Yes” or “No” when you answer a question. Give some interesting information, too.

★Don’t talk all the time.

Ask, “How about you?” and show you are interested in the other person, too. People love to talk about themselves! 

★Ask information questions.

Ask questions like “What do you do in your free time?” or “What kind of food do you like?” Use follow-up questions to keep the conversation going. But don’t ask too many questions, or it will be an interrogation! 

★Be positive

Those Negative comments can sound impolite. And if you don’t want to answer a personal question, simply say, “Oh, I’m not sure I can answer that,” or “I’d rather not say.”

★Smile!

Everyone loves a smile. Just be relaxed, smile, and be yourself.
