Good communication skills project an image of confidence and____1____. Although some of them are natural and go without saying some of them still can be acquired by practice and preparation. Sometimes it’s useful to develop a strategy when you want to start a conversation with someone you don’t know.

• Start with “hello” and simply tell the other person your ___2___ and ask them theirs. Then offer your ___3___ to shake.

• Look around and see if there is anything unusual to point out. (Talking about the ____4____ is probably not a good idea unless there is something very unusual about it – a storm, snow, tornado, etc.) “Have you seen that picture over there?” – “This is an interesting building. I wonder how old it is.”

• If you can, offer a ____5____ about something, but only if it is sincere and not too personal. For example, “I saw you using a MacBook – looks very nice. Are you happy with it?”

• Ask questions which will make the other person feel that they are interesting. People like talking about themselves but don’t make the questions too personal. Ask for their ___6____ about things and their possible experience of current ___7____ and situations. “Have you been affected by this strike?” It’s not a bad idea to mentally prepare a list of possible ____8___ before you begin the conversation. Avoid politics and ___9____ because they are sensitive subjects for some people.
