Today well continue our discussion on communication skills. More specifically, in todays lecture, we
18、 are going to explore how to he a good conversationalist.To start with, let me tell you what a good conversationalist is like. 1A great conversationalist is someone who connects with people and makes them feel important. In other words, when great conversationalists talk to you, they make you feel l
19、ike youre the only person in the room.Becoming a good conversationalist requires knowing three things: first, how to start a conversation; second, how to keep it going; and third, how to end it.Starting a conversation usually means coming up with an opening line or ice-breaker. The best kind of ice-
20、breakers is one thats positive. The last thing people want to hear from a stranger is how noisy the party is, how awful the food is, or how ugly the people are dressed.A compliment is always a good ice-breaker and will usually be appreciated. 2Any news event is a good ice-breaker. I encourage all of
21、 you to read the newspaper because its important to know whats going on in the world. The fact is, any opening line will do, as long as its not negative, and as long as its not too outdated. The best way to entice a person to have a conversation with you is by being sincere and respectful, 3and lett
22、ing them know that you are interested in talking to them.Once youve got a conversation going, the best way to keep it going is by asking the other person questions that dont require just a yes or no answer or questions which show genuine interest on your part. For example, if someone says, Im from M
23、iami! , you may respond with, Oh, Ive been to Miami! and continue with, How long have you lived there? Then, I was born there, and Ive lived there all my life. You might say, Is your family from Miami as well?You keep asking questions based on the last thing a person says. This is called the elabora
24、tion technique. 4Choose questions that will get the other person to elaborate on what theyre saying. Ask questions similar to those a reporter might ask to draw a person out: who, what, when, where, and why question. Once you lit on something you find interesting, keep asking questions in order to g
25、et the person to elaborate about the topic as much as possible.A good conversationalist elaborates on the experiences theyve had. Instead of saying the party was fun, tell why it was fun. Describe why you had a good time - who was there, what happened, where it was, and how people arranged the party
26、. Go into detail. 5Description is the best form of communication because it keeps peoples interest up and stimulates them. Use words to create images and paint pictures so that the other person can get a visual as well as an auditory image of what youre describing to them. If you use the description
27、 effectively, you make the person feel as though they were actually there.In order to keep a conversation going, there are seven tips that can help you be an excellent communicator:1. 6Be aware of your body and facial language. Make good eye contact when you speak, and be physically expressive witho
28、ut being excessive.2. Dont gossip. You run the risk of offending the person youre talking to. It also makes you look small-minded.3. Cultivate a wide range of interests.4. 7Have a sense of humor. Everyone enjoys a humorous story or joke. Sexual and ethnic humor, however, are not worth the effects th
29、at the jokes may have on your total image. People may be offended, which may in turn reflect poor judgment on your part and may encourage them to think less of you.5. Dont interrupt. People hate being interrupted. Fight the impulse to interrupt and give the person youre talking to the time they need
30、 to complete what theyre saying to you.6. 8Be enthusiastic and positive. Dont be afraid to show enthusiasm. It allows the other person to feel that youre interested in what theyre saying to you.7. Be flexible in your point of view. Try to be as open as possible, and try to see things from the other
31、persons point of view.If youve started a conversation with another person, and you axe having difficulty ending it, there are several signals you can send to the other person that will bring the conversation to its close without hurting anyones feelings. 9Breaking eye contact is a discreet signal th
32、at the conversation is about to end. 10Another way to signal is to use transition words like well or at any rate. You may want to summarize all that was said. Whatever you do, dont lie to the other person. If youre not interested in talking to them again, dont mention the possibility of a future mee
33、ting just to be polite. Thats hypocritical. Instead, you may want to say, Nice meeting you. And then, leave. But please note, before you leave, be sure to give the other person a good, firm handshake. The final impression you make can be just as important as the initial one you made.OK. To sum up, i

In the city of Los Angeles, the median cost for apartment rentals is $735 per month.M: How does the salary of the job in Los Angeles compare with other jobs?W: Its a higher salary than the job in Detroit but lower than the one
