   Tips
   • To keep a conversation going, you should show that you are interested in it and encourage the speaker to continue speaking using words and phrases such as Yeah, Uh huh, OK, Right, I see, Interesting, Really.
   • We often need to think before speaking. To show that you have understood and are going to speak, use words and phrases such as Well, Let me think, I'm not sure, Hold on a minute, That's a good question.
