However, we are so often absorbed in conversation that we (57) sight of its true pur

46、pose and value.One important (58) of a good conversation is that the words are (59) used to express thoughts and feelings.

I was in tears.” This dialogue is (65) an effective way of expressing feelings. It gives no (66) of how or why the movie trul

48、y (67) you. Such commonly-used phrases are certainly not enough to describe a deeply moving experience. However, not only (68) try to avoid overused words, you must (69) be careful in your selection. The purpose of expanding vocabulary is not to use the (70) or most impressive words, but to find those best suited.What is lacking in many conversations is the ability to talk to another rather than just talking with that person.
