4 Listening is a very important part of conversation. To be a good listener, keep eye contact, repeat the speaker's main point from time to time, and try to catch important clues about what to say next. As a person talks, he or she gives you many clues that can be the basis for continuing conversation. Observe the other person's actions. Listen to the opinions of others.
Conversations are two-sided.
If you seem to be uninterested in the other person's ideas, he or she may not want to continue the conversation. Try to build a bridge between you and the other person. Don't judge the other person's opinions too quickly. First impressions are not always correct. You may find out later you were completely mistaken.
