D Keep qui et when the other person is talking. D Talk about yourself a lot.

Ei9Jit Tips fer Gre(it Soci(Ái Cenversatiens

Are you shy? Do you find conversations with new people difficult? lf you do, then these eight
tips can help you connect. lf you're outgoing and love to talk, they can help you improve your
conversation skills.
1 Have sorne topics ready to start a conversation. Say something about the weather or the
place you're in. Talk about the weekend - we ali have something to say about weekends!
2 Make the conversation interesting . Know about events in the news. Read restaurant and
movie reviews. Find out about the current music scene or what's new in fashion or sports.
3 Be a good listener. Make eye contact and say, "Yes," "Hmm," "Uh-huh,"
know." And say, "Really? That's interesting." lt encourages people to talk.
"Right," and "I
4 Don't be boring. Don't just say, "Yes" or "No" when you answer a question. Give sorne
interesting details, too.
5 Don't talk all the time. Ask, "How about you?" and show you are interested in the other
person, too. People love to talk about themselves!
6 Ask information questions. Ask questions like, "What do you do in your free time?" or
"What kind of food do you like?" Use follow-up questions to keep the conversation going.
But don't ask too many questions - it's not an interview!
7 Be positive. Negative comments can sound

rude. And if you don't want to answer a personal
question, simply say, "Oh, l'm not sure 1 can
answer that," or "l'd rather not say."
8 Smile! Everyone loves a smile. Just be relaxed,

smile, and be yourself.
B Read the article again and circle the correct words.

1. lt's~o~/ not good to make short responses when you listen.
2. When you answer questions, you can say / don't just reply "Yes" or "No."
3. Ask a couple of /a lot of follow-up questions.
4. Think / Don't think of a conversation like an interview.
5. You have to/ don't have to answer personal questions.

Ali aboard, furry neighborsl

Have you ever lived next door to a boat? How about a boat full of cats?
Amsterdam, the largest city in the Netherlands, is full of canals. There
are rnany different kinds of boats on the canals. Sorne of them carry
people and goods, sorne have shops or restaurants on them, while
others are houseboats - boats that people live on. But not only people
live on these houseboats. Cats do too, at least on two of them.
It all began in 1966 with a stray cat, her kittens, anda kind woman named Henriette van Weelde
One rainy night, Henriette heard a cat crying outside her house. She opened the <loor and saw a w
mother cat trying to protect her kittens from the rain. Henriette felt sorry far the poor animals, s
she let them live with her. Soon another stray cat joined them, and then more. Henriette quickly
became known as the "cat lady."
Befare long, the cats filled Henriette's house. Then they filled her garden. And the cats kept corni
What could she do with them all? She saw the answer to her problem floating on the canal - a
houseboat. People could live on houseboats, so why couldn't cats? In 1968, Henriette bought her
first "cat boa t."
Soon, even more stray cats moved in, and then carne
people who wanted to help - the first volunteers. But a
just three years, the houseboat was full of cats. So
Henriette bought another boat! More people were
visiting, not just to bring cats in, but also to adopt a pe
or just to look. After all, a houseboat far cats is nota
common sight!
Today, Henriette's two cat boats are still in the same pl
on the canal. And the Cat Boat Foundation that Henri
started years ago is not only an official Dutch charity b
also an international tourist attraction!
C Read these questions. Find the answers in the article.

public transportation systems, and people won't need to drive cars. Also, there won't be many traffic
jams or parking problems. There will be more open spaces and parks. People will be able to walk and
cycle and spend time outdoors. The air will be cleaner because there will be fewer cars, and more
cars will be electric. Industries will probably be cleaner and more efficient because solar power and
wind power will be more popular. With these changes, big cities will be more attractive places to live.
