Conversation......

Can we ever stop talking???

“Conversation is interactive, more-or-less spontaneous communication between two or more conversants. Conversations are sometimes the ideal form of communication, depending on the conversants' intended ends. Conversations may be ideal when, for example, each party desires a relatively equal exchange of information, or when one party desires to question the other”. So after listening to a couple of conversations in class, it’s time now for you, to draft your own conversation.


Gentlemen, work in pairs or groups of four to draft similar conversations:


Giving advice


Expressing your opinion to the view point of others


Planning a trip or


Interview for admission to University.


You will then have to role play the same, in class.


Keep in mind the following tips: A successful conversation includes mutually interesting connections between the speakers or things that the speakers know. For this to happen, those engaging in conversation must find a topic on which they both can relate in some sense”. Most conversations may be classified by their goal. Coversational ends may, however, shift over the life of the conversation. Being able to start a great conversation is absolutely critical these days, as it is an extremely powerful way to connect and interact with people in a personal, one-on-one way. Looking forward to some interesting conversations….…..
