Discussion Board_Listening Exercise_Theatre Appreciation

Q Your assignment is to go to a public place. This could be any place that has a lot of people; for example, a restaurant, a mall, an airport, etc. You will need to be there for a few minutes, so make sure it's someplace comfortable. First, what you need to do is describe your setting (where you are). Do not use the name of the location...make us guess. We want to know the atmosphere of the place, the noises (including background noises), colors you see, items that might be around you, etc. The more detail, the better. The second thing you need to do is listen to a conversation around you and write down what is being said. Make sure you include descriptions of the people in the conversation. Also, include their moods, feelings, etc. You'll be able to tell this partly by how they talk, how loud they are, facial expressions, and body language. We don't want a generic conversation: "Hi, how are you?" "I'm fine." "Well, see ya." Listen for something interesting. Be patient, it might take a couple of tries before you get something. Don't elaborate on the dialogue, just record what they say.

Coincidentally, I got to witness an interesting conversation, at this really awesome place a few days back, which was sparsely dark, creatively lit in places, had a good vibe to accompany, and played the best music. There was a large crowd all chattering and laughing, some dancing, some relaxing, and most of them indulging in food and beverages. I was having a good time relaxing and sipping into my beverage when I heard a couple sitting near me discuss about their marriage plans. Both were excited and planning about whom to invite and whom to not. They were well-dressed, smelled good, and had a sense of poise.
