Precis-Writing Solved Exercise on the Title “Good Conversation” for Students of Class 9, 10 and 12 Exams.

PARAGRAPH FOR PRECIS

Everyone endeavours to make himself as agreeable to society as he can, but it often happens that those who aim at shining in conversation overshoot their mark. Though a man succeeds, he should not, as is frequently the case, engross the whole talk to himself, for that destroys the very essence of conversation which is, talking together. We should try to keep up conversation like a ball bandied to and fro, from one to the other, rather than seize it all to ourselves and drive it before us like a football. We should likewise be cautious to adapt the matter of any discourse to our company, and not all Greek before ladies, or of the latest far below to meeting of country justices.
