Be interested.

The right attitude is a prerequisite for participating in conversation. try to be interested not only inn all the topics but also in each participant. The reality, if we not interested in the participants, they also will give in the same way. So, when someone is start speaking, give entire attention on him or her.

In conversation don’t try to put on airs and don’t bluff, lie, or brag. An insincere person usually ends up with no audience. There is no substitute for sincerity.

Be a Good Listener.

There is no greater compliment to a speaker than a listener’s total absorption in what he or she is saying. Listen with your eyes, your ears, your mind- your total self- with intensity.

Don’t interrupt unless

An essay way to turn people off or to anger then is to interrupt them often while they’re speaking. Its a rude thing to do. The guilty person can’t wait to finish someone else’s story, to correct a speaker, or to announce a punch line prematurely. There are times, however when interrupting is not only acceptable but, probably, wise. Let’s assume that during a conversation, the speaker said something that you didn’t  understand. The good example to start interrupt like “Excuse me, but in other words…? “You mean..? ” or “Pardon me, but if i heard you correctly, then what you’re saying is ..? Then restate what you thought you heard.  Interrupting for purposes of clarification is acceptable, but constant and “uncontrollable” interruption is not. 

Don’t Be a gossip

Unfortunately, many people enjoy gossip and rumors. It’s very tempting and so easy to say things just for attention and recognition. This activity is not only cruel, it can inflict irreparable damage to another person character. And, lets face it, no one really trusts or respects a gossip.

Don’t Be a Know-It-All

Obnoxious people in conversation are experts on everything, politics, labor problems, social problems, religion, family affairs. No matter what the topic of discussion, they have the answers. Being knowledgeable is a tremendous asset when you participate in conversation, but sometimes discretion and good taste are greater virtues.
