The TED talk is want to tell us 10 ways to have a better conversationalists.
Number 1 : Don’t multitask.
Number 2 : Don’t pontificate.
Number 3 : Use open ended questions.
Number 4 : Go with the flow.
Number 5 : If you don’t know ,say that you don’t know.
Number 6 : Don’t equate your experience with theirs.
Number 7 : Try not to repeat yourself , it’s condescending and it’s really boring.
Number 8: Stay out of the weeds.
Number 9 : Listen.
Number 10: Be brief.
All of them to the same basic concept is be interested in other people.

Learn new word :

1. multitask
to operate several programs at the same time
ex : Women seem to be able to multitask better than men.

2. pontificate
  to give your opinion about something in a way that shows you think you are always right
  ex : Politicians are always pontificating about education.

  1. 1. Very informative talk.
    2. In English, we don't say "very like." Instead, we say: like it a lot or like it very mush.
    => I like to listen to TED talks a lot because there are interesting topics there.
