So thé trick to become a good conversationalist is to actually listen to others. If you spend more time trying to encourage your partner to talk and sincerely listen to what they have to say, they will then eventually become more interested in what you have to say because you showed an interest in them.

fH A recent study by the Center for Driving Safety concluded that approximately 45 percent of all car accidents caused by drinking and driving occur around this holiday season. Most of these are the result of festive merry-making at office parties or a general tendency to take more time to drink with friends and family to celebrate the biggest holiday and bid the old year out. The consequences for society, however, are disastrous1 as these moments of carelessness lead to deaths in families. Though many motorists complain about the inconvenience of frequent road checks, we have been able to determine that these measures have had a considerable effect on lowering the deaths related to alcohol. The city of Kingston for example has announced that last year they 100reported only one death from drinking and driving over Christmas when the average for the past 10 years has run at about 40.
