•                 Man is a social animal and conversations are a part of life.

•                 I’ve had many conversations in my life, but here I would like to talk about a conversation, which influenced me a lot.

•                 This conversation was with my friend, Suman, who had come from Canada.

•                 She went to Humber College, Canada two years ago for her higher education.

•                 She came to our house to pay a visit.

•                 We chatted with each other for a long time.

•                 She told me all about her life in Canada.

•                 I asked her many questions about the education there and about any problems she faced there.

•                 She told me that the education there is very good.

•                 They focus on the practical side and teach in a more interesting way.

•                 She also told me that she worked part time for 20 hours a week during her studies. She managed to earn for her overhead expenses by this.

•                 She told me that initially she faced many food problems.

•                 Actually, vegetarian food outlets are not easy to find over there.

•                 Now she cooks for herself, as everything is available in the Indian stores over there.

•                 She told me that her education is almost over, and now she is looking for a full time job.

•                 After that she will be able to apply for PR over there.

•                 She motivated me to pursue my higher education in Canada.

•                 She even talked to my parents about it.

•                 Today, I am in front of you, taking my IELTS, just because of the influence of that conversation.

Friends communicate with each other in many ways. They communicate face to face, through phone and also through the Internet.

 

2.               What’s the difference between having a conversation with a man and having a conversation with a woman?

There are no gender differences nowadays. Both, men and women, can talk equally well on any topic they are interested in, be it sports, or politics, or fashion.

 

3.               Do you think women like to chat more than men?

I don’t think so. Gender has nothing to do with the preference of chatting. It is a matter of individual choice.

 

4.               When men chat with other men do they usually talk about the same things that women do when they chat with other women?

The topic of conversation among men or women is a matter of individual taste. Mostly men talk about sports, business and politics. Whereas women talk about fashion and family matters. But then individual variations are always there.

Chatting is general talk on various topics, whereas gossiping is talking about other people behind their back. Chatting has a positive connotation, whereas gossiping has a negative connotation.

I prefer both equally. I talk to my parents about my day to day’s happenings, whereas I discuss studies, sports and movies etc. with friends.

 

7.               Do most people have just a small number of friends, or many friends?

It is very difficult to generalize. Some people have few friends and some like to have a lot of friends. Mostly, face to face friendship is limited to a few close friends, but people have a huge network of online friends these days on Facebook or Whatsapp.

 

8.               How do most people make new friends in your country?

Most people make new friends in schools and colleges, while attending family functions or other social functions or while travelling in public transport.
