Choose the item that best completes the unfinished statement about the passage
My aunt is one of those people who can talk to anyone about anything. If she goes to a party where she doesn’t
know any of the people, she just walks up to the first person that she sees and introduces herself. And yet she
doesn’t seem to talk about deeply important things like politics and religion. She always starts off with
something very obvious like the other person job. Very soon she’s talking as if she’s known the other person
for years. I asked her once what her secret was. She said that the most important thing in a conversation was
listening. People love to talk about themselves, so if you allow them to do so, it’s very easy to keep a
conversation going. You have to listen carefully and ask question. And you have to look interested, too. So
don’t keep looking at the other things in the room while you’re talking to someone.
Another things that I’ve noticed is that she only pays people compliments. She says: “I like your hair. Which
hairdresser do you go to?” or “You look very well. Have you been on the holiday?” friendly messages like this
seem to provide an easy way into a conversation.

53. My aunt thinks that it’s very easy to keep a conversation going if you …………
a. Let people talk about themselves.
