1.What's the difference between face-to-face conversation and phone conversation?
People talk about small trivial subjects on the phone. I mean, phone conversation is usually to deliver some urgent message. Most people would prefer to communicate face to face when it comes to important matters. I mean, generally it is like that. You see, important matters are always discussed face to face. For example, nobody would settle down the contract terms over the phone. They'd sit down to talk about it. I guess that's why country leaders fly around to visit each other for important matters, rather than talking on the phone. Right? So, I suppose face to face conversation is more effective than phone communication.
2.Which one do you prefer?Face-to-face conversation or phone conversation?
Personally, I prefer face to face conversation. One, because face to face conversation is more direct. You see, when we sit down face to face, we have multiple other ways to communicate with each other besides verbal language. A person's facial expressions, body gestures, and eye contact can all tell us certain things. These messages will increase our communication quality, for sure. However, if we are talking on the phone, all communication is done by verbal sound. Not that language is not effective, but language alone sometimes leads to misunderstanding, and it is not always reliable. Like, I wouldn't be able to tell if someone is lying to me when I'm on the phone. So I'd rather spend the time sitting down to have a talk if possible.
3.Are there any disadvantages of face-to-face conversation?
Disadvantages, yeah, there certainly can be. I mean, regardless of the many merits that face to face communication carries with it, you do have to travel to meet someone if you want to talk face to face. That traveling can take up quite a bit of time, especially when you live in big cities where traffic conditions are often terrible! Apart from that, as` I mentioned earlier, face to face communication is more straightforward and direct. So if the subject is sensitive, and the conversation doesn't go smoothly, it can embarrass the communicators. The atmosphere may get awkward instantly.
4.What do men like to talk about?How about women?
Oh well, all sorts of things. For men, it's always about 'toys', you know. Young men talk about computer games, the latest phones, or new films. When they get older, their toys just become more expensive, like watches, cars, or real estate. As for women, it depends if they're married and if they've got children. Before marriage, they mostly talk about cosmetics(化妆品) and skincare products, while after, they just spend most of the time complaining about their husbands. Of course, once they have kids, those small rascals become their sole(唯一) topic. So, all in all, it has a lot to do with age.
5.Is it appropriate to make jokes during a presentation?
Not only is it appropriate, but necessary, to some extent. You see, everybody likes fun talks, even if they're for academic or business purposes, so if you can make a few jokes during the speech, they'll help you keep the audience awake, and you know, concentrated. But of course, jokes in presentations are like additives(添加剂) in food, so don't overuse them. If you make too many jokes in a serious, formal presentation, people may start questioning your professionalism(专业能力,专业精神), because the efficiency with which you convey messages will not be terribly high, and if there are interpreters present, you'll be giving them a headache!
6.Why are some people nervous when making a presentation?
I think, for most people, it's rather difficult to make a presentation in front of an audience(当众), well, at least it's much harder than it looks. And when we're doing something that we're not familiar with, or good at, it's natural to get nervous. This is because of, first of all, fear of making mistakes. Everyone thinks it's awkward to make mistakes in front of others, because, you know, you'd be making a fool of yourself. Also, this nervousness could come from a lack of preparation and rehearsal (练习,排练). You see, if you're fully prepared for the talk, you wouldn't sweat at all.
