题目内容

Do you like to meet new people? Do you like to talk, or are you shy? Whatever your answers are, these tips can help you.

★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 .

★Make the conversation interesting

Read the latest news. Read restaurant and movie reviews. Find out about the popular music or what’s new in fashion or sports.

★Be a good listener.

Keep eye contact(眼神交流)and say, “Yes,” “Hmm,” “Uh-huh,” “Right,” and “I know.” And say, “Really? That’s interesting.” It 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.

★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! 

★Ask information questions.

Ask questions like “What do you do in your free time?” or “What kind of food do you like?” Use follow-up questions to keep the conversation going. But don’t ask too many questions, or it will be an interrogation

★Be positive

Those Negative comments can sound impolite. 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.”

★Smile!

Everyone loves a smile. Just be relaxed, smile, and be yourself.

The way we spend our time can be divided into three "bottles". These are the Necessary Tasks Bottle, the Voluntary Tasks Bottle and the Happiness Bottle.

Every day, we spend time filling the Necessary Tasks Bottle with useful things, like making money, doing housework, buying food and paying bills. We then fill another bottle with Voluntary Tasks. These are things that we do for others, we may not enjoy, but we do them anyway This bottle gets filled with tasks like taking children to activities, cooking family meals, and washing clothes for family members, Those bottles are very important if we don't fill them each day.

However, we often forget to fill the third bottle-the Happiness Bottle. This is the bottle that we fill with activities that make us happy. Is your Happiness Bottle sometimes empty at the end of the day? Between doing all the Necessary and Voluntary Tasks, time flies by, and before we know it. it is time for bed.
