A Japanese-style conversation,【C12】______, is not at all like tennis or volleyball. It’s like bowling. You【C13】______for your turn. And you always know your【C14】______in line. It depends on such things as whether you are older or younger, a close friend or a relative stranger【C15】______the previous speaker, in a senior or junior position, and so on. When your turn comes, you【C16】______up to the starting line with your bowling ball, and【C17】______bowi it. Everyone else stands back and watches politely, whispering【C18】______. Everyone waits until the ball has reached the end of the alley, and watches to see if it【C19】______down all the pins, or only some of them, or none of them.
