People acquire communication skills from the first days of life. Communication is not only a necessity, but also a pleasure. Of course, the easiest way to communicate is with those you already know. But sometimes you need to answer a question on the street when a stranger addresses you.
Instructions
Step 1
If you were approached on the street with a question about how to get through, it means that the person is in an unfamiliar place for him, does not know how to find his way and asks you for help. Most likely, he feels a little confused, so he needs to be supported. Even if you are not in a very good mood in the morning or you are just sad, be sure to smile at him and immediately stop, showing that you are ready to listen to his appeal.
Step 2
When a stranger needs to explain how to get to a place, which happens most often, try to make it as clear as possible. Your landmarks, given to him, should be recognizable. Do not give them definitions that only you know of the two of you: "Railway workers' hospital", "House of journalists". It is necessary to provide a visual description of these landmarks so that, even when seeing them for the first time, a person can recognize them. After telling you how to get through, do not forget to say "Happy" and "Goodbye", even if you forgot to thank you.
Step 3
When you yourself do not know the way, but live in the area, then advise where he can go and where he can be prompted. If this is your first time in this place, then just apologize and tell him about it.
Step 4
Quite often you can meet members of various religious sects who "recruit" their followers on the streets. They can turn to you with some philosophical question that worries everyone: "Tell me, please, are we living the right way?" or "Do you think the end of the world is near?" If you do not want to get involved in a tiresome discussion, then you just need to smile, say: "Goodbye" and go on your way.
Step 5
Stay away from strangers, especially gypsies, who are trying to ask you a question, or sometimes even a statement, that you need help. They are scammers. Smile without looking such a person in the eye and walk on without stopping. Vigorously resist attempts to stop you and drag you into the conversation.
