PASSAGE-BASED QUESTIONS
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. "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—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. 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 paid for it. You must also know not only what to say but also how to say it.
