Certain people make you feel comfortable when they are around.You spend an hour with them and feel as if you've known them half your life. These people have something in common. And once we know what it is,we can try to do it ourselves.
How is it done? Here are several skills that good talkers have. If you follow the skills,they'll help you put people at their ease (自在),and make friends with them quickly.
First of all good talkers ask questions. Almost anyone,no matter how shy he is,will answer a question. One well-known business woman says,“At business lunches,I always ask people what they did that morning. It's a common question,but it will get things going. ”From there you can move on to other matters -- sometimes to really personal questions. And how he answers will let you know how far you can go.
Second,once good talkers have asked questions,they listen for the answers. This point seems clear,but it isn't. Your questions should have a point and help to tell what sort of person you are talking to. And to find out,you really have to listen,carefully and attentively.
Real listening at least means some things. First it means not to change the subject of conversation,if someone sticks to one topic,you can take it as a fact that he's really interested in it. Real listening also means not just listening to words,but to tones (腔调) of voice. If the voice sounds dull (单调的),then,it's time for you to change the subject.
Finally,good talkers know well how to deal with the occasion (场合) of parting. If you're saying good-bye,you may give him a firm handshake and say“I've really enjoyed meeting you.” If you want to see that person again,don't keep it a secret. Let people know what you feel,and they may walk away feeling as if they've known you half their life.

In Europe, men do not usually wear skirts. But the Scottish national clothing for men is a kind of skirt. It is called a kilt. The Scottish like to be different. They are also proud of their country and its history, and they feel that the kilt is part of that history. That's why the men still wear kilts at traditional (传统的) dances and on national holidays. They believe they are wearing the same clothes that Scottish men always used to wear.
That's what they believe. However, kilts are not really so old. Before 1730, Scottish men wore a long shirt and blanket around their shoulders. These clothes got in the way when the men started to work in factories. So, in 1730 a factory owner changed the blanket into a skirt; the kilt. That's how the first kilt was made.
Then, in the late 1700s Scottish soldiers in the British Army began to wear kilts. One reason for this was national sentiment ( = feelings) . The Scottish soldiers wanted to be different from the English soldiers. The British Army probably had a different reason. A Scottish soldier in a kilt was always easy to find! The Scottish soldier fought very hard and became famous. The kilt was part of the fame, and in the early 1800s men all around Scotland began to wear kilts.
These kilts had colorful stripes (条纹) going up and down and across. In the 1700s and early 1800s, the color of the stripes had no special meaning. Men sometimes owned kilts in several different colors. But later the colors became important to the Scottish families. By about 1850, most families had special colors for their kilts. For example, men from the Campbell family had kilts with green, yellow and blue stripes. Scottish people often believe that the colors of the kilts are part of their family history. In fact, each family just chose the color they liked best.
This is not the story you will hear today if you are in Scotland. Most Scottish people still believe that kilts are as old as Scotland and that the colors are as old as the Scottish families. Sometimes feelings are stronger than facts!
