3. (It's) nice to meet you.


(It's) nice meeting you.

Remember :-We all recognize the differences between those who are able to join naturally in a conversation and those that aren't. We know some of us are just better at it than others, but what we don't all realize is that it is possible to become a better conversationalist through practice.

Please my dear ,be cheerful, good humored.
Smile. Make it an interested, friendly smile.
Show your good feelings in the way you say things.
Leave your tragic mask at home.
Don’t try to get people to gather round
by exhibiting what a hurt, misunderstood soul you are.

Remember, whoever you are talking to, you always have something in common.
We all experience the weather, like good food, and enjoy a good laugh.
When in doubt, just talk to them about what they are there for.
For example, if you meet them at a bus stop, ask them where they are going.
If they are from out of town, ask them about their life at home.

Remember, feel comfortable and look neat, no one wants to talk to a slob.
One last thing, it is important to practice getting conversations started.
You may feel a little clumsy at first, but with practice
it can become easy to start good conversations.
And just remember to be yourself !

Best of Luck
