English Communication- How to Keep a Conversation Going

For satisfying conversations, memorize these questions:

• “What do you think?”
• “How did you become interested in…?”
• “What made you choose your profession?”
• “My family celebrates Christmas. Does your family? We do little gifts, does your family or friends do gifting? What was one of your favorites?
• “I am considering taking up _____ (yoga, weight lifting, soccer/footbal, tennis, meditating, scuba diving).  Would you recommend a class or individual lessons?”
• “I want to join a group. Do you belong to any. like a book group, writing group, or team sports group?”

These questions focus on someone else’s expertise and experience.  Putting the shining the light on the other person is a way to feel more comfortable and make other people know they are valued and appreciated.
