These people have something in common. And once we know what it is, we can try to do it ourselves. How is it done? Here are several skills that good talkers have. If you follow the skills, theyll help you put people at their ease, and make friends with them quickly.First of all, good talkers ask questions. Almost anyone, no matter how shy he is, will answer a question. One well-known businesswoman says, “At business lunches, I always ask people what they did that morning. Its a common question, but it will get things going.” From there you can move on to other matterssometimes to really personal questions. And how he answers will let you know how far you can go.Second, once good talkers have asked questions, they listen to the answers. This point seems clear, but it isnt. Your questions should have a point and help to tell what sort of person you are talking to. And to find out, you really have to listen carefully and attentively.Real listening at least means some things. First it means not to change the subject of conversation. If someone sticks to one topic, you can take it as a fact that hes really interested in it. Real listening also means not just listening to words, but to tones of voice. If the voice sounds dull, then, its time for you to change the subject.Finally, good talkers know well how to deal with the occasion of parting. If youre saying good-bye, you may give him a firm handshake and say, “Ive really enjoyed meeting you.” If you want to see that person again, dont keep it a secret. Let people know what you feel, and they may walk away feeling as if theyve known you half their life.56. Asking questions might be a quite good and suitable way _.A. for you to make more and more new friendsB. to begin your business talksC. to get the conversation going smoothlyD. for you to make a deep and lasting impression on others57. After having asked somebody a question, itll be polite of you to _.A. make clear what kind of person he isB. listen to his reply attentivelyC. wait quietly and patiently for his answerD. go on asking him more questions58. Generally speaking, good talkers are persons who _.A. are good at making any topic interestingB. never talk too much or too littleC. always speak in a gentle wayD. know how and when they should change the topic of the talk59. If you really take delight in meeting someone again, _.A. you may take him as your lifelong trustworthy friendB. it seems necessary for you to let him know itC. its proper for you to give him a second handshakeD. itll be helpful for you to have further understanding of him B Here is a poster on a middle school web site.
