Question

【題目】How do you talk with people when meeting them if you want to leave a good impression? Here a some tips for you/

Tip 1	You have to show up, which can be a challenge for many of us. You can show up as an observer（旁觀者）of other interesting people and let that be a learning experience for you. Before you start talking, it’s important to just listen, even if you think you are a wise storyteller. If you are close to a group of people who are discussing a topic, watch their body language and see if they will let you join in their conversation.
Tip 2	You’d better go in the conversation with a couple of topics to keep it going, or questions to ask if there is a short stop. Simple things like “How do you know the host?” and “How did you get here?” are always good conversation starters to a certain extent（在一定程度上）.
Tip 3	Don’t fear silences. Awkward（令人尷尬的）silences are common part of talking with people, just rush to fill them. If you don’t want to go on with the conversation, just say you are going to get another drink or something to eat, and find another group to talk with.
Tip 4	Relax. If you cannot keep a conversation going, or you don’t know what you should say next, give yourself a little time to clear your head. Relax, and then turn back into the discussion.

【1】wisely 句意：第一條建議是你必須出席并且旁觀或是聽別人講，即使很擅長講故事。根據(jù)竅門1里的：Before you start talking, it’s important to just listen, even if you think you are a wise storyteller. 可知用“機智”（wise）來修飾，本句修飾行為動詞，用副詞形式，故填：wisely。

【2】chance句意：如果你走近一群人，看他們的肢體語言以確定他們是否給你一起交談的機會。

【4】afraid句意：你不必害怕沉默。根據(jù)竅門3的第一句：Don’t fear silences.不要害怕沉默�？芍�這里還是填“害怕”：be afraid of。故填：afraid。

【5】wonder/doubt句意：如果你不能堅持交談或者你想知道接下來你要講什么，休息一下，清醒頭腦然后再返回對話。根據(jù)竅門4：If you cannot keep a conversation going, or you don’t know what you should say next, give yourself a little time to clear your head. Relax, and then turn back into the discussion.如果你不能繼續(xù)你的對話，或者你不知道你接下來 該說什么，給自己一點時間清醒頭腦，放松，然后再返回討論。把句中的“不知道”換在種說法：“想知道”，故填：wonder/doubt。
