How to Improve
Your Conversation Skills
Do you like to meet new people?
Do you like to talk, or are you shy?
Whatever your answer, this guide can help you improve your conversation skills
1
|
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 weekend!!
|
2
|
Make the conversation interesting. Know
about events in the news. Read restaurant and movie reviews.
Find out about the current music scene or what’s new in
fashion or sports.

Be
a good listener. Keep eye contact and say, “Yes”, “Hmmm”, Uh-huh”, Right”,
and “I know”.
And say, “Really? That’s interesting.” It’s 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.
|
5
|
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!!
|
6
|
Ask information question. Ask question
like “What kind of food do you like?” Use follow-up question to keep the
conversation going.
But don’t ask too many question-it not an interrogation
;)!
|
7
|
Be positive. Negative comments can
sound rude.
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”.
