Relax and think about what impression you produce or your speech, and the subject of conversation.

Communicate, because any knowledge is received in practice. If the conversation for you – a serious test, start small. For example, the greeting of colleagues not just in one word answer, and ask about the weather, the outcome of the game or other stuff. Will gradually become easier to maintain a conversation. You will learn not only deployed to answer questions, but ask them.

Actively use gestures and facial expressions. This will help the journalist understand what your mood or how you react to what was said.

More smile (genuinely, not forced), and don't be afraid to make a joke even in a serious conversation. This will help to defuse the situation.
