Write a summary or Make notes of the following passage.
Conversation is indeed the most easily teachable of all arts. All you need to do
in order to become a good conversationalist is to find a subject, that interest you
and your listeners. There are, for example, numberless hobbies to talk about.
But the important thing is that you must talk about other fellow’s hobby rather
than your own. Therein lies the secret of your popularity. Talk to your friends
about the things that interest them, and you will get a reputation for good
fellowship, charming wit, and a brilliant mind. 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 wet blanket
or a bore, be careful to avoid certain unpleasant subjects. Avoid talking about
yourself, unless you are asked to do so. People are interested in their own
problems, not in yours. Sickness or death bores everybody. The only one who
willingly listens to such talk is the doctor, but he gets paid for it.
To be a good conversationalist you must know not only what to say, but
how also to say it. Be mentally quick and witty. But don’t hurt others with your
wit. Finally, try to avoid mannerism in your conversation .Don’t bite your lips or
click your tongue, or roll your eyes or use your hands excessively as you speak.
Don’t be like that Frenchman who said, “ How can I talk if you hold my hand?”
