Close and Open Conversation

Last July 30, we talked about ''Close and Open Conversation''. Conversation means exchange of thoughts, opinions and feelings.

First we discussed about "Closed Conversation" If you can answer a question with only a "yes" or "no" response, then you are answering a close-ended type of question.For example:

• Can I help you with that? 
• Would you like to go to the movies tonight? 
• Is english your favorite subject? 

These are answerable of yes or no and there seven ways to widen the conversation base on the topic given.

1. give a little information than what is asked for. 
2. make a related comment. 
3. repeat key words. 
4. react in some creative way or it is also known as rejoinders. 
5. add comments. 
6. add a related questions
7. use question tags.

Second, The "Open Conversation" An open question are questions that cannot be answered with a simple yes or no, or with only one or two words For example:

• What are you planning to buy today at the supermarket?
• How exactly did the fight between the two of you start?
• What is your favorite memory from childhood?

Open Questions seek longer answers, and are the opposite of closed questions.

After the discussion we were asked to get a partner and perform in the class using the Close and Open Conversation and the seven ways to keep the conversation going.

I think the topic is very useful in our daily life, We learned how to communicate and engage in a conversation the right way.
