Write a short paragraph about a time when you had a really bad conversation with a person, or a
really good conversation with a person. Explain why the conversation was really bad, and what
you could do to improve the conversation. If it was a good conversation, explain what made the
conversation so good. I once had a conversation with a stranger while flying to Michigan to see a college that
was interested in. She asked why I was flying and I told her the reason, I tried to speak clearly
and at a level volume since she was around my grandmothers age. She talked at a very
loud volume and would often interrupt my sentences and chastise me for speaking while she was
also speaking. I was very relieved to leave the plan after the longest fifty minutes of my life.
The conversation was bad because throughout the entire thing I felt as if I were being yelled at, I
was being interrupted and was being told off for it and she constantly switched topics to talk
about herself. If I were to improve this conversation she would need to listen properly, lower
her voice, and not talk about herself as much.
Analyze a disclaimer found in the media. Explain what it is you found, what kind of disclaimer
is used, and how it is used. Does the disclaimer work in this case, and how would the message
change if there wasn't a disclaimer? When advertising cigarettes they always show or say the surgeon generals warning about
how smoking can be a risk to your health to discourage smoking and to prevent people who do
smoke and get sick from being able to sue the cigarette company. I'm not sure how well it
works, but it does make me feel guilty whenever I make the mistake of reading my cigarette box
while smoking. I believe that the message, of selling cigarettes, would greatly improve as people
would not realize the potential harm of smoking.
