Part 3
1. What makes a good listener?
I think a good listener must be patient and they can listen attentively and they don’t interrupt others and they allow others to express themselves thoroughly and during the conversation and they usually maintain eye contact and respond others to show that their understanding and their support.
For example, if their friend it’s in difficult periods and after confiding in about everything and a good listener may say I fully understand how you feel and that really sounds tough but if you need help I will always be there with you and they provide emotional support to others.
2. What are the differences between talking to friend and talking to stranger?
Well, frankly speaking, there are tons of differences between these two kinds of people.
As for friends, you know, the conversation with friends tend to be more comfortable, natural and deep. Maybe, you know, two people are more willing to discuss their future, their career, their hobby and interest and so on.
You will talk about a lot of things, I mean, and they really enjoy the process of talking and communicating, you know.
But As for strangers, maybe you just want an answer. For example, if you get lost and you are more willing to ask a stranger for help and you know you won’t talk talk talk with a stranger for too long, you just want an answer, I mean.
3. Where do young people like to meet?
Well, I guess many of the Hangouts for the young people nowadays just will have their own characteristics like the well decorated cafe or bookstores or restaurants and most of them are recommended by the Internet influencers that young people will follow. It’s a kind of trend in the modern society. Young people will just go there to take pictures and then post on the their social media account. Yeah, that’s one thing.
And another kind of Hangouts for the young generation would be some quiet and with all the romantic vibe, you know, such as the cinemas or the forest or parks, which are the places for some young couples. Yeah, because they need this kind of sites to date.
So I guess it’s, yeah, that’s the two main categories.
4. What do young people talk about when they meet up?
I guess young people’s talk will never be limited.
It just ranges from the personal life to the social issue in terms of personal life.
And just normally it just about the works or the studies and our interpersonal relations. Like if if somebody get married or have some relations something like that. And we will also complain about some our boss or some stupid people around us.
And As for some big ones, from the social perspective, we also concern about the international problems like the political things or something like the idols or the celebrities in the show business or other fields.
So these are the main topics we would talk about when we meet up.
Our chit chat will be really various.
Yes, that’s the thing I guess.
5. Do you think people should be honest when talking with friends?
Yeah, for most of the time I would say yes, ’cause first of all, during some cultural conversation, communication and there’s no, it is not necessarily needed for us to be dishonest, right? And also when you face the friends, I guess the first principle is to be royalty and honesty.
So I guess yes, it is our, I mean limits and the bottom line. I mean, if there’s some other occasions, like in some circumstances that we have to tell some white lines, I guess it’s very different from being dishonest and our friends will totally understand us.
6. On what occasions do people talking with stranger?
I guess there’s so many cases like in the streets asking for the new, asking for the right directions or getting into the new environment like new schools or new neighbourhood. You have to make acquaintance with somebody you don’t know or like in the bar or in some club and being hitted by someone. So that are the cases, I guess.
And of course online maybe people will have some oral, oral fights or leave some comments to the strangers. So there are the cases. I think these kind of things will be never inevitable.
Yes, in our life.
