Knowing how to communicate well needs very personal attention between you and another person, we should face it. Is there a better way to learn how to communicate successfully Yes, there is. Please follow the basic steps below.
Relax and breathe.
Whether it’s a business meeting or a first date, the first thing you must do in order to communicate is to relax.
When you relax, you are in control. You control your reactions (反应) and your reactions do not control you. Breathing is central to relaxation. Take a few deep breaths and your body will begin to be more relaxed. This will help use what you have already known about how to communicate well.
Think and you will be prepared.
Have you heard the old saying, “Think before you speak” Well, it rings true. By thinking ahead about how the conversation might flow (流畅), you will be better prepared, more relaxed and more confident.
Follow the flow of the conversation.
If you are uncomfortable, being silent will only make it worse and make the other person uncomfortable as well. So when all else fails, you should follow through with small talks until a common topic appears.
A good way to keep a conversation going is to ask the other person questions. People love to talk about themselves and if you do this, they will keep the conversation going, thinking very highly of you. Learning good communication skills is not something out of reach. If you make an effort, you will succeed.

Shyness can be an unhappy feeling. But the good news is, you’re not alone. Scientists say that more than 40 percent of teenagers and adults consider themselves shy. Shyness is feeling a little nervous or as if you want to hide when you’re around other people or in a new situation.
▲ Scientists say such things as genetics (遗传基因), life experiences, and environment can influence whether a person is shy. For example, in some families, everybody seems to be shy.
What happens if you are shy Well, being shy may cause you to avoid or miss opportunities you would enjoy.
How do people overcome (克服) shyness This is what Gilbert tells us. “When I started off trying to get over being shy, I decided to do little steps at a time, including practicing smiling and saying hi to people. And it works for me.”
But shyness is not the kind of thing that most people can get over overnight. Overcoming shyness takes time and needs practice.
Here are some tips given by scientists.
Think of what to talk before you leave home. Prepare things to talk about before you’re in a social situation. For example, if you know your classmates are interested in an upcoming (即将来的) event, learn about it so you can join in the conversations.
Let people know you’re shy. If you’re shy, just show it. Instead of letting people guess, tell them the truth. Explain that you are shy and feel nervous but enjoy talking to people.
Make things easy for the other person. Remember, you’re not the only shy person around. Do what you think might help others feel good, for example, say hello or smile.
Pick one social skill to practice at a time. Start simply. For example, smile or be the first person to say hi. Choose skills you feel comfortable enough with to practice for a day, a week, a month, or even a year.
1. Which of the following can be put in the blank in Paragraph 2
A. What is shyness
B. What makes people shy
C. Can shyness be good for us
D. Can we overcome shyness
2. The example of Gilbert in Paragraph 4 is given to _____.
A. show how people overcome shyness
B. introduce a shy girl called Gilbert
C. tell the right time to practice smiling
D. explain the steps of overcoming shyness
3. What does the underlined word “overnight” in Paragraph 5 most probably mean
A. Correctly. B. Suddenly.
C. Slowly. D. Finally.
4. Which of the following is the right way to overcome shyness
A. Don’t let others know that you are shy.
B. Wait for others to say hello to you first.
C. Choose several skills to practice at a time.
D. Get ready before you join in a social situation.
