Question

Read the passage carefully and answer the given

questions.




Conversation is a fine art. It is the art of exchanging

thought. 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 inmoney, 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.

Hobbies are, for example, numberless 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 as 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 talk

is the doctor, but he gets sad for it. You must also know

not only what to say but also how to say it.

d)Which topics usually bore the listener?


e)What should be avoided unless you are asked to do so?​
