Conversation begins almost the moment we come into contact with another and continues throughout the day 56 the aid of cell phones and computers. However， we are so often absorbed inconversation that we 57 sight of its tree purpose and value.
One important 58 of a good conversation is that the words are 59 used to express thoughts and feelings. We are 60 deep thoughts and strong emotions， yet our vocabularies are not 61 for this expression， and many 62 little effort to expand that. Perhaps you see a movie that 63 you deeply， yet you have the following conversation： “So， what did you think of the film？” “Oh， my God， it was so sad， I swear. I went through 64 a box of tissues（面巾纸）。 I was in tears.”This dialogue is 65 an effective way of expressing feelings. It gives no 66 of how or why the movie truly 67 you. Such commonly-used phrases are certainly not enough to describe a deepl
y moving experience. However， not only 68 try to avoid overused words， you must 69 be careful in your selection. The purpose of expanding vocabulary is not to use the 70 or most impressive words， but to find those best suited.
What is lacking in many conversations is the abi
lity to talk to another rather than just talking with that person. A 71 person will find that even in the most ordinary conversations. There are a thousand questions 72 to be asked if you have courage and a desire for exchange. Good conversations should not be 73 nonsense， but of a meeting of two 74 the human condition. It should bring a better understanding of others and offer a release of emotions more than drive away 75 thoughts or kill time.
