Hi, there. My name is Ronnie
Today, I'm going to teach you
Something that is very difficult to do
sort of
But once you learn how to do this it will become very easy. I like to call this it's going to be a series
the art of conversation
The art of conversation is an art which means it's not something that everyone can do
especially if you are trying to do it in a different language, so
whatever language you speak you can use this to help you if you are shy, or
If you don't know what to say to people or how to respond to people this will help you
I am an English teacher, so I'm going to teach you in English, how odd so
the art of conversation Derner the third part one how to keep a conversation going, so
for example
You are in an elevator
with someone else
Maybe you've seen the person before and you say to the person
what did you do last night and
the person says oh
I went to the movies
Hmm
Conversation has ended not anymore if someone tells you
Such a short beautiful sentence. I went to the movies
It's your turn to ask them will recall follow-up questions
About what they've told you so I
went to the movies okay question fuller question what
Did you see?
What movie did you see?
notice um I saw
Who met Roger rabbit that's an old one but okay?
and
then you say oh
Okay, that's good
Oh-Hoo-Hoo
Whoo-hoo, did you go to the movies with and the person says my friend? Oh?
Okay, where where where where?
What movie theater?
Did you go to?
The police are coming hold on okay. No, you're there again
What where where where where was it was it uptown was downtown Wizard the cheap theater?
Was it a very very old theater?
Where um if you'd like to you can also ask the person about the price if you want to
How much?
So how much were the movies in Toronto Canada relative hello? We have Tuesday's are
$7 for the movies they are half price, so moving Canada's fourteen dollars
Very expensive, but on Tuesdays. They're half price. So maybe you can say no, how much was it good?
next one
Let's say that you're in another awkward
conversation moment and you say to the person
Future you want to talk about the future
What are you going to do on the weekend? Yes?
What are you going to do on the weekend the person says?
I'm going on vacation or they could say I'm going on holiday now, please
Vacation and holiday are almost the same thing
it means that you are usually going somewhere on a
Trip or you're going to a different city. You are not sitting at home playing computer games
Or watching Envy in vyd. You're actually going somewhere, so if the person says I'm going on vacation
Or I'm going on holiday
You can remember what Ronnie has taught you on England go?
What?
Don't use what in this situation. What well I'm going on vacation
Whoo-hoo with who?
Who are you going on vacation with?
And they will tell you oh with my family. Oh your family I
Can talk about the person's family. Oh, how many children do you have oh I have two children
people love to talk about their children and their family, so
You can also tell them or ask them
Where where are you going?
For example they say oh, I'm going to Ireland
Maybe you have been to Ireland
and you could say oh, I went to Ireland - well, don't do that and
You can then start a conversation about?
Ireland you can tell them you know go to the giant's Causeway. It's fantastic
You've got to have some guinnesses when you're there you can give them advice and information
this conversation will keep on going so
These questions
We have five wh questions in English. They are who what?
when
Where and the last one is why?
okay, so
the art of conversation
This is the trick if someone gives you information
Have these five
wh questions ready in your head who what when where why and
Ask the person a question that relates to what they've told you this way they have to give you an answer
They just can't go yes, so if someone says to you I
went to the movies
Where yes it does not work. They have to give you more information, okay, so remember
Five wh questions how to keep a conversation going in English
ask
the five
Wh?
questions, I
Hope you've enjoyed this. I hope it helps you. I hope you can now speak to people and have a wonderful time see you later
