Five ways to make conversation with anyone
Conversations are links, which means when you have a conversation with a new person a link gets formed and every conversation you have after that moment will strengthen the link.
You meet new people every day: the grocery worker, the cab driver, new people at work or the security guard at the door. Simply starting a conversation with them will form a link.
Here are five simple ways that you can make the first move and start a conversation with strangers.
41.__________
Suppose you are in a room with someone you don't know and something within you says “I want to talk with this person”- this is something the mostly happens with all of us. You wanted to say something- the first word- but it just won't come out. It feels like it is stuck somewhere, I know the feelings and here is my advice just get it out.
Just think: that is the worst that could happen? They won't talk with you? Well, they are not talking with you now!
I truly believe that once you get that first word out everything else will just flow. So keep it simple: “Hi”, “Hey” or “Hello”—— do the best you can to gather all of the enthusiasm and energy you can, put on a big smile and say “Hi”.
42.____________________
It’s a problem all of us face: you have limited time with the person that you want to talk with and you want to make this talk, memorable.
Honestly, if we got stuck, in the rut, of “hi”, “hello”, “how are you” “and what's going on?” you will fail to give the initial Jolt to the conversation that can make it so memorable.
So don't be afraid, to ask more personal questions. Trust me, you’ll be surprised to see how much people are willing to share if you just ask.
43.____________________
When you meet a person for the first time, make an effort to find the things which you and that person, have in common so that you can build the conversation, from that point. When you start a conversation from there and then move outward, you will find all of a sudden that the conversation becomes a lot easier.
44.____________________
Imagine you are pouring your heart out to someone and they are just busy on their phone, and if you ask, for their attention, you get the response “I can Multitask”.
So when someone tries, to communicate with you, just be in that communication wholeheartedly. Make eye contact, you can feel the conversation.
45.____________________
You all came into a conversation, where you first met the person, but after some time you may have met again, and have forgotten their name. Isn't that awkward!
So remember the little details of the people you might, or you talked with; perhaps the places they have been to, the place they want to go, the things they like, the thing they hate - whatever you talk about
When you remember such thing you can automatically become investor in their wellbeing. So they feel a responsibility to you to keep bad relationship going
That's it. Five amazing ways that you can make conversation with almost anyone. Every person is a really good book to read, or to have a conversation with!
解题思路:
第一步:先把七个小标题简单翻译
A. Just say it (说出来)
B. Be present(要在场,要用心)
C. Pay a unique compliment(给出独特的赞美)
D. Name, places, thing(姓名、地方、事物)
E. Find the “me too” (找到“我也是”)
F. Skip the small talk(跳过寒暄话,往后聊)
G. Ask for an opinion(询问意见)
第二步:快速浏览空格后段落,逐一做题
41题:A
解题思路:41题后的段落主要说的是你大胆跟别人打招呼来开始你们的交谈,正好对应A选项Just say it(说出来),是有类似表达的,比较简单。
42题:F
解题思路:42题后的段落主要说的是要你不要卡在问好上,而是大胆的去问一些个人问题,说不定别人也会乐于跟你分享,正好对应F选项skip the small talk(跳过寒暄话,往后聊),这题需要自己稍作总结,对一些表达small talk,get stuck要求熟悉。
43题:E
解题思路:43题后的段落主要说的是交谈是要试图找到共同话题,交谈就会变得容易,刚好对应E选项find the “me too” s(找到“我也是”),原文的common对应标题中的“me too”,比较简单。
44题:B
解题思路:44题后的段落主要说的是与别人交流的时候要全心全意,要有眼神交流,刚好对应B选项be present(要在场,要用心),这题稍难,因为需要知道present这个词的形容词意思后稍作引申。
45题:D
解题思路:4题后的段落主要说的是你要试图去记住一些别人的细节信息,刚好对应着D选项Name, places, things(姓名、地方、事物),这个原文是有原词对应的,得分很容易。
