How to start a new conversation
It is often very difficult to start a conversation with a new person. In Bangladesh it is very rare for a girl to start a new conversation with an unknown person, unless the person is a sales man or a shopkeeper. But when we come to an institution like school, collage, university and office we have to make a good relation with teachers, classmates or collogue.
So to make a good impression one must start with a good approach. First you need to be confident about yourself. You must feel positive that if you start the conversation first you would get a positive response. Eye contact is very important; you must give a polite and nice look with a sweet smile. Then you may start with a greeting like “hello” or “hi”. As the person pays attention and replies you must deliver your next speech otherwise the person might feel uncomfortable to continue the conversation by thinking what to say next. You need to be very careful about the first look you must maintain your personality. Steering at the person is very unpleasant. To continue with the conversation you may talk about any common issues like school, collage or any job sector. You should maintain your appeal throughout your conversation.
