Last week, I joined in a lunch gathering with my colleagues, and I saw them spending most time on gulping. I thought this was good time for talking with each other, because they usually did not have much time to do it. Nonetheless, they did not talk much, so I concluded that they enjoyed gulping more than talking.
I believe talking could make people have much more fun than gulping. Through talking, people could exchange happy experiences with each other. On top of that, eating too much might cause negative effects, but talking too much causes almost no negative effects. Therefore, I thought they should finish eating as soon as possible, and put on face masks to have a lot of talks with each other to have a much more good time.
Next time, I would try to persuade them into spending more time on talking than gulping. I might go through failure, but failure could enhance my competence of persuasion^_^
