10 Interesting Topics of Conversation for Every Occasion
“Google helps me!” my head was so empty when I said that. What should I write on blog for this week? I really want to write something fun and it is not boring for the readers. I started to search for an interesting topic on Google. There are lots of articles from Ezine.com so I picked up one of them to share with you. “10 Interesting Topics of Conversation for Every Occasion” was written by Peter Murphy who said “The interesting topics of conversation come from everyday life and things that we all have in common”. I got it! I agree! The ten questions that he wrote are simple but I feel they make people relaxed and happy to talk with. What are my answers if I talk with someone who asks these questions to me? How about you? What are your answers? Let’s do it together and see how we feel.
Q 1: Who is the most interesting person you ever met?
Jumpoon: Her name is Joke, Jindarat Yongsata, who is my best friend. I love the way she spends her life and the positive thinking that she has. She always says “Problem can be solved if we have a consciousness” When I hear that, I calm down.
Q 2: Where in the world would you most like to visit?
Jumpoon: I would love to visit London, United Kingdom, in 2012 because Summer Olympic Games are scheduled to take place in London from 27 July to 12 August, 2012. I love to watch sports and I think it will be wonderful to travel and watch games at the same time.
Q 3: What has been the most life-changing experience you’ve ever had?
Jumpoon: The most life-changing experience happened when I was an exchange teacher at Wilde Lake High School through the American Field Service program (AFS) in 2002. That was exciting news to stay in the U.S. for 11 months for sharing Thai culture in schools and in American family. I really impress people and have a strong relationship with family. This great experience is still fresh in my mind.
Q 4: What is the most spontaneous thing you’ve you ever done?
Jumpoon: When I needed to show Thai Classical Dance at Wilde Lake High School in front of American teachers and students. I am not expert but the show must go on. I made it and I am proud to be Thai.
Q 5: Who’s had the biggest influence on your life?
Jumpoon: Aleena, jumpoon, has had the biggest influence on my life. I admire people who are smart and succeed in life. I wish I were them. I wish my dream comes true and who will make it. It is me!
Q 6: What thing that you have not yet done would you most like to do?
Jumpoon: I would love to graduate in MA soon. I try my best to get a goal.
Q 7: What is the best quality you’ve inherited from either of your parents?
Jumpoon: Honesty is the best quality that I’ve inherited from my parents. First, I feel good with myself because I never lie at myself. I know what I want and I do what I want to do. Next, I do not like to cheat so I am sincere when I talk to people. Then, I am happy to be a precious person.
Q 8: From which person have you learned most in your life?
Jumpoon: My mother, a strong woman, who I have learned most in my life. She is my idol. She teaches me to have endurance and an attempt. She is such a great mother, I love her so much.
Q 9: What historical figure do you most identify with?
Jumpoon: I like Muay Thai and Nai Kanomtom is a real fighter-hero very dear to the heart of all Thais. From the history, he fought nine Burmese champions to prove that the “muay Ayutaya” was indeed superior to Burmese Let Wei. He defeated all Burmese champions in one day. Muay Thai is very well known, it is Thai Heritage World Heritage.
Q 10: What kind of music do you like?
Jumpoon: I like Rock and Pop Dance. My favorite band is Micro and my favorite singer is Tata Young.
After I finished these questions, I do agree more with Peter. The questions about families, hopes, dreams, experiences etc. are not serious like politics and religion. What do you think? Like or not like?
