Describing a conversation
Describe an interesting conversation you had with someone you didn't know.
You should say
- who the person was
- where the conversation took place
- what you talked about
- and explain why you found the conversation interesting.
I’m going to talk about an interesting conversation that I had a couple of weeks
ago in a music shop. I was walking along one of the
main shopping streets in
the city centre, when a large window displaying all sorts of musical instruments
caught my eye. Out
of curiosity, I decided to go in and have a look around. The
person I ended up speaking to was a shop assistant on the second floor, in the
area of the shop dedicated to acoustic guitars. I hadn’t
intended to speak to
anyone, but the assistant approached me in a friendly way and asked whether I
had any questions. I explained to the assistant that I hadn’t played the guitar
for years, but that I wondered what the differences were between the various
acoustic guitars on show. He talked to me about
the different makes and
models, whether they were factory or handmade, the woods and varnishes
used,
the variation in sound quality, and of course the price range. I found the
conversation fascinating because the shop assistant was so knowledgeable. It
was obvious that he had a passion for the guitar, and he didn’t mind talking to
me even though I had made it clear that I didn’t intend to buy anything. He
even picked up and played three or four of the instruments
to demonstrate the
differences in their sound.
