How To Talk--Choosing and Staying On Topic
An important part of efficient and intellectual conversations start with choosing one and only one topic at a time. There are multiple conversation starter techniques. Before we start, to be able to appropriately have a conversation, you must review
Lesson 1: Using smart words as a reference. Let’s begin.
To choose a topic you must start with brainstorming. What is the most interesting thing you have done today? Yesterday? This week? Try to come up with a story that happened from the last time you saw that person. If you are a very boring person and are unable to have any fun whatsoever the next strategy might be the one for you! The first step to the second strategy is to gather as many facts that you can. You can find many interesting ones on websites like history.com, nationalgeographic.com, or even this very website! You can also pick some up at your local library. You will then use these facts as a conversation starter. The next step you will use no matter what strategy you used will be plugging in your 10 or 25 cent words. This is very important If you want to feel intellectually above the others in the conversation. At this point your conversation starter should look a little bit like this:
“Yesterday, my mother brought the most ravishing dress for this exquisite luncheon we shall be attending today.”
“ The average homo sapien consumes approximately 58 gallons of water annually.”
The most important thing is to think before you speak. Ask yourself “Is this what the average Gen Z person would say?” If the answer is yes then definitely don't use it. Using these strategies will help you not only be the top of your generation, but also help teach others to save the world from going down the toilet with you.
