Communication is an essential part of human existence. However, not all of us are born with great personal relationship skills. In fact, a lot of people are afraid of talking to others or in front of a crowd for several reasons including physical deformities(残疾), lack of knowledge, and emotional hindrances(障碍).
Talk about interesting general subjects. Current issues or news items are perfect starters because you can be sure that other people are aware of them.
However, know your limitations. Topics such as religion and politics can be discussed without debating. Often, key issues, especially those that take sides, make the best conversations.
Discuss, do not argue. State facts and opinions politely, but do not force other people to accept what you believe in. After all, the purpose of a conversation is to exchange views and information.
Listen. Like relationships, conversations should have a give-and-take pattern. Allow other people to speak their opinions without constant interruptions. Pay attention and focus on every detail they say.
A. Topics that are too specific may not be appealing to everyone.
B. Do not panic when you have different opinions from others.
C. An interest in another person's point of view is absolutely essential.
D. Do not be afraid of conversational taboos(禁忌).
E. Here are some useful tips on conversation topics.
F. At the same time, be open to their viewpoints.
G. Here are some useful tips to help you get over your poor conversation habits.
