Question

Q3. Read the passage and answer the questions that follow-
[8]
Conversation is a fine art. It is the art of exchanging thoughts. It is an
art which anybody can cultivate or master. Not everybody can paint or
play music, but almost everyone can talk. Thus it affords the greatest
pleasure to the greatest number. "To talk", says R.L. Sleversan, is our
chief business in the world. And talk is by far the most accessible of
pleasures. It costs nothing in money, it is all profit. It completes our
education, makes friends and can be enjoyed at any age. Conversation is
indeed the most teachable of all the arts. All you need to do is to find a
subject that interests you and your listeners.
There are countless hobbies to talk about. But the important thing is
that you must talk about the other fellow's hobby rather than your own
Therein lies the secret of your popularity. There is nothing that pleases
people so much as your interest in their interest.
It is just important to know what subjects to avoid and what subjects
to select for good conversation. If you don't want to be set down as a
bore, avoid certain unpleasant topics. Avoid talking about yourself unless
you are asked to do so. Sickness or death bores everybody. The only one
who willingly listens to such talks is, the doctor, but he gets paid for it.
You must also know not only what to say but also how to say it.
