Preparation For Conversation

Conversation is a bilateral or multilateral exchange of verbal and emotional activities.

Therefore, topics of common interest must be grasped first.

From the content perspective, the best way to choose a topic of conversation is to collect materials locally, that is, to find topics according to the circumstances at that time.

For example, when you meet at a friend's house, you praise something, which is often the most stable and appropriate opening statement, which can lead to a topic.

Again, you and the speaker on the other hand, because of their different identities and occupations, you can get to know some of the questions that he is familiar with and interested in, and let the other person talk about the things he is most familiar with and interested in.

If you can't find a topic at a time, you can follow the old customs of China and ask the other's birthplace: "where is your home?"

Because it is natural for us to ask each other's native place according to our habits.

Knowing the native place, the topic is easy to find.

For example, in Guangxi, we can talk about Guilin Scenery; in the northeast, we can talk about ginseng, mink, antler horn, which are called "three treasures" in Northeast China.

If you are an old friend, then the topic is broad and not too stiff.
