who don't. Chatting is good for you. Here are ten reasons why a
good chin-wag is great for your health and happiness.
- It gives you confidence. Practising your chat techniques with friends can help a
lot when you come to meet other people. If you are confident speaker within your group
of friends you will find it easier to chat to strangers and new people.
- You learn things. The more you chat to people the more you will learn which will
make for much more fruitful and interesting conversations in other parts of your
life.
- Pronunciation is key. It is great to read a lot, to know a lot of words and to
how to use them. However if you stumble on their pronunciation it can be a
little embarrassing. Saying tricky words out loud is the only way to get them
right.

things that annoy you when you are chatting, like people not listening or always
cutting in, you will learn what to avoid yourself.

make you look more sociable to anyone who is watching. Get into the habit of
making your immediate company the focus of your conversation.

easier to fill awkward silences when out on a date or meeting someone for the
first time. It will come in handy when you meet people that you really want to
chat to.

good thing but a face with well exercised muscles finds it easier to smile. Who
can resist a warm, welcoming smile?
- The gift of the gab. Practise makes perfect in any situation. If you are someone
who chats often without a complex, you will be intriguing everyone you speak to
with what you have to say.
