How do you talk with new people when meeting them if you want to leave a good impression? Here are some tips for you.
Tip 1 |
You have to show up, which can be a challenge for many of us. You can show up as an observer(旁观者) of other interesting people and let that be a learning experience for you, Before you start talking, it's important to just listen, even if you think you are a wise storyteller. If you are close to a group of people who are discussing a topic, watch their body language and see if they will let you join in their conversation. |
Tip2 |
You'd better go in the conversation with a couple of topics to keep it going, or questions to, ask if there is a short stop. Simple things like "How do you know the host?" and "How did you get there?" are always good conversation starters to a certain extent(在—定程度上). |
Tip 3 |
Don't fear silences. Awkward(令人尴尬的) silences are common part of talking with people. Just rush to fill them. If you don't want to go on with the conversation, just say you are going to get another drink or something to eat, and find another group to talk with. |
Tip 4 |
Relax If you cannot keep a conversation going, or you don't know what you should say next, give yourself a little time to clear your head. Relax, and then turn back into the discussion. |
When you meet new people, you always want to leave a good impression. But do you know how to be a good speaker? Here is some advice for you.

If you go near a group of people, watch their body language to see if they will offer you a {#blank#}2{#/blank#} to talk with them. The second advice for you is that some topics should be {#blank#}3{#/blank#} before the conversation. Next, you don't need to be {#blank#}4{#/blank#} of silences. You can rush to fill them or leave for another group. The last is relaxing. If you can't keep a conversation going or you {#blank#}5{#/blank#} what you should say next, take a break and clear your head, then return to the discussion.
