根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 I believe that one of the best ways to connect with people and build quality relationships is making conversations. Although most people can hold a conversation, only a few are smooth when they talk. I have discovered five simple and effective ways to be a smooth talker. Here they are：
Talk slowly.
Generally, good talkers don't rush into a conversation. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}They act as if they had all the time in the world. This makes them come off as centred and collected. Model this way of talking and you will create the same effect.
Hold more eye contact.
Most people keep eye contact about 2/3 of the time or less when they talk.{#blank#}2{#/blank#}This will convey confidence and interest in interacting with them.
{#blank#}3{#/blank#}
People with good conversation skills tend to notice the kind of things that the average person doesn't notice, and to bring such details into the conversation. They may notice and point out an interesting ring on the other person's hand, a certain foreign accent, or a certain voice tone they use when saying a name. Thus, such individuals impress people in a very elegant manner.
Express your emotions.
{#blank#}4{#/blank#}Express your feelings about those facts. Keep in mind that it is at the emotional level that people connect best.
Use the best words.
The ability to talk smoothly has a lot to do with choosing the precise words to convey your precise feelings or thoughts.{#blank#}5{#/blank#} It will help you develop a way with words and allow you to express yourself more easily.
Conversational skills don't improve just like that. It takes time, practice and the ability to learn at a rapid rate from your own experiences.
A Don't just present the facts. You're not a newspaper.
B It's a very good idea to hold eye contact just a bit more than that.
C Notice the details.
D It is important to improve conversational skills.
E Offer interesting news.
F They take their time when they reflect on something and when they say it out loud.
