The Art of Timeless Étiquette, Graceful Dining Manners, & Afternoon Tea

 POLITE SOCIETY SCHOOL OF ÉTIQUETTE

PRESENTS TIPS ON CONVERSATION TECHNIQUES

Stimulating conversation is considered an art.  Learning to express thoughts and opinions diplomatically may either come naturally or may need to be developed over time.  Effective delivery will allow people to enjoy a conversation with you.  The best conversations are calm and quiet interchanging of sentiments where there is no competition and no vanity.

 

 

The following questions are conversation starters:

 

How is the weather?

Who is your favorite entertainer?

Who is your favorite actor?

How do you spend your free time?

Do you have any pets?  What are their names?

Have you taken any vacations lately?

What would be your perfect weekend?

Do you enjoy the theatre?

Do you have any cultural pursuits?

What are your personal interests?

Have you read any good books lately?

Are you very active or do you prefer to just relax in your free time?

 

 

 

The following topics should never be included in public conversation:

 

Any part of a person’s body, hair, hair color, or disability

Money

Politics

Religion

Sex

Family

Love life
