Emma Scott
Good manners don’t come from hypocrisy; they come from empathy. Empathy means feeling as though you are the other person: that is, putting yourself in his or her place. Be aware that certain topics are dangerous to get into. Subjects such as politics and religion may be suitable in some groups but not in others. In certain cultures it is even impolite to mention these topics because they are considered very personal.
Phyllis Harrison
Angry argument is the enemy of enjoyable talk. Even though people who become angry may be correct in their opinions, their offensive manner may make them lose both the argument and the respect of other people. A good rule for discussion is to use hard facts and a soft voice.
Linda Rice
Like the driver of a car, the conversationalist has to watch for traffic signals, the indications of when to stop and when to go on. Signs of listeners’ boredom or impatience are conversational "red lights", warning you to come to a stop quickly. On the other hand, their enjoyment and attentiveness are like green lights. If people are interested in what you are saying, they will give you a "go" signal, by asking you to continue.
Melanie Williams
Asking irrelevant questions, making unrelated comments, finishing other people’s sentences, or helping them tell a story can be very annoying. Interrupting should be only a last resort used, for example, when the speaker has been rambling, putting people to sleep, or bringing up topics that may be offensive.
Now match each of the persons with the appropriate statement.
Note: there are two extra statements.
