【题目】How to Make Small Talk

There’s nothing small about small talk. Many great friendships and relationships have started with small talk. Small talk helps you build a meaningful relationship with a person. 1If you want to know how to master small talk, just follow these steps.

2 If you want to make a person feel comfortable, the best thing to do is to have an "open attitude" and to direct your body toward that person without being too forceful. Just make eye contact, don’t cross your arms, and face your shoulders toward that person. This will make the person feel like you’re giving him all of your attention.

Put away your phone. There’s nothing more annoying than talking to a person who is constantly checking his cellphone.

Though you should look eager to talk to the person, don’t look too eager. Don’t lean(倚靠) so close that you scare him away. 3

Give a friendly greeting. If you’re seeing someone you already know, just say hello and greet her by her name, "Hi, Jen, it’s good to see you."4 If you don’t know the person, introduce yourself first so you feel more confident and in control of the conversation.

5 Just a simple "I love your shoes — where did you get them?" can get you into a fun conversation about shoe shopping. Even if the praise(称赞) doesn’t lead anywhere, it will still make the person feel more appreciated before you start discussing other subjects.

A. Have friendly body language.

B. Start with a small compliment.

C. Focus your attention on their shoes.

D. Many people are turned off by a close-talker.

E. It also benefits you in the professional world.

F. You will feel uncomfortable when close to others.

G. This is simple and direct and lets the person know you’re excited to talk.
