    Would you like to be comfortable talking to other people? Holding conversations may help. Holding conversations may not seem like a skill. After all, everyone talks to other people frequently. But talking to new people makes many people nervous.

    Here are some ways to make conversations more fun and less awkward (尴尬的).

    Body language

    As strange as it may seem, much communication happens without any words. The way you stand and act tells people a lot about you. When you're talking with someone, stand up straight and look them in the eye. This shows your confidence. And if you're nervous, acting like you aren't can help you feel better. When you're listening, look at the other person. Lean forward to show that you're interested in what they're saying.

    Back and forth

    A good conversation is not a speech, which means that both people need to participate. If you're doing all the talking, pause to allow the other person to speak. If they don't say anything, try asking them a question.

    Questions can also help if you're struggling (挣扎) to think what to say. Maybe they'll say something you know or you can reply to. When you ask questions, try to think of open-ended ones. That means questions where the answer is more than just "yes" or “no”. Open-ended questions in English usually start with who, what, when, where and why.

    Don't fear silence.

    Don't feel worried or frightened if the conversation has quiet moments. Every conversation has some. Treat them as chances to change the subject to something you're interested in. You could also comment on (评论) something you've done recently. Or you can ask a question about the other person.

    So if you're shy, be brave, ask a question, and start a conversation. As with any skill, you will improve on holding conversations with time.
