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.
