Anyone can become a smooth talker; it just takes a little practice.

You Will Need

The latest news
A charming smile
An opening question
Good listening skills

Step 1: Be well-informed
Begin every day with a quick review of the news so you’re never stuck for a conversation starter.

Step 2: Find an opener
If you prefer a more personal approach, quickly scan a person’s outfit for something you can use to initiate a conversation.

Step 3: Start with a smile
Before you say a word, give them a special smile: Make eye contact with the person, wait a second, and then slowly let a smile spread across your face. Research shows this little trick immediately charms people.

Make your opening line a question that can’t be answered with a simple “yes” or “no.”

Step 4: Really listen
Listen for casual asides; people often make references to topics they love. Prove you’re really listening by remarking on something they just said.

Make sure to say “you” more than “I” during the chat.

Step 5: Don't seem overeager
Resist the urge to yelp “Me, too!” or agree with everything the person says. It will make you seem needy and insincere.

Step 6: Do some talking
Don’t turn the encounter into an interrogation. Though you want to encourage the other person to talk about themselves, you need to contribute to the dialogue, too.

Steer clear of topics you’re overly passionate about; you run the risk of monopolizing the conversation or lecturing.

Step 7: Don't overstay your welcome
If you realize the other person isn’t saying much, tell them you’ve enjoyed talking to them and move on.

According to a Stanford study, the most successful business-school graduates were the ones comfortable having conversations with strangers, not the ones with the best grades.

【Translation】

每个人都可以通过一些联系，成为一个演说家。

你需要有：
阅读最新的消息
爱笑
一个有争论的问题
听的艺术

首先 你要无所不知
每天早上起来都看一下报纸的头条，让自己对最新发生的事有个了解。

接下来 找一个说话点
如果你喜欢比较私人的话题，可以从对方身上找一个说话点。

第三 记住微笑
在说话之前，先给对方一个友善的笑容，在眼神交流的时候，也需要保持自己的微笑。研究发现，微笑可以让人产生好感。

第四 在谈话的时候多用“你”作主语
不论对方说什么话题，都需要你的关注。

第五 不要表现地太过殷勤
避免在说话中不停地说“我也觉得是”来赞同对方的每一个观点，这样会让你看起来比较急躁和不真诚。

第六 注意彼此间的互动
虽然你的主要目的是为了让对方多说，但是如果你什么也不说，也是不行的。

最后 当别人明显失去谈话兴趣时，及时结束你们的谈话。
