About Listening to Others

Listening skills are vital for interpersonal communication.

A few months ago, I met a guy (in an occasional place,) and, after talking, we soon (talked to each other and) became good friends /developed a good friendship. (very soon.) He seemed (seems) to be talkative and had a (have) good sense of humour / humor, so we chatted (talk to each other) a lot. I told him (the stories) of my hiking experience to ABC mountain, and what I thought about my life and my future.

One day, several months later, (after few months,) when we were chatting (with each other) about sport, (sports topic,) I said " do you remember I told you about my hiking story to ABC mountain...?" he replied (And he said) "what? you've been to ABC mountain?" His reaction surprised me! (made me feel so surprised!) I was sure (thought) I had told him many times during our conversations. Another (And the other) example was him asking (is he asked me) my opinion about a TV program/programme, and repeating the question (he asked me the same question again after) two days later! These incidents really frustrate me. (cases makes me feel really frustrated!) I found him to be (that he is) a selfish guy who never listens to others and is only interested in talking (just would like to talk) about himself!

Listening to others is very important! To be a good listener you will not only make your friend feel that you are sweet and warm, but also reliable.

Although expressing negative sentiments, nevertheless nicely written. We would say 'a few months ago' to make it grammatically correct. I am not sure what you mean by 'occasional place' - do you mean you 'met by chance'. After commencing in the past tense - met, became - you changed to present tense - seems, has - before reverting to the past tense, so just need to be a little careful. Your thought patterns are very good throughout your article. There are a few phrases which are a little unwieldy and I have suggested more natural ones to use - (talk to each other = chatted), (after several months = several months later), (about sports topic = about sport), (made me feel so surprised = surprised me), (asked me the same question again = repeating the question...I changed the tense), (cases make me feel really frustrated = incidents frustrate me), (just would like to talk = only interested in talking). To sum up, I agree with your sentiments that some people just like the sound of their own voice!
