答案：
The conversation I had with my best friend in this summer was the most enjoyable ever. She studied far away from Beijing and we seldom met each other. We talk about school life, internship experience and gossip a bit.
I am shy and usually it is hard for me to strike up conversations with people, but the one with my best friend is enjoyable. It is because the conversation between us is mutual. It will be frustrating when the other person wants to disagree a lot, or seems way too self-centered. However, the conversation is enjoyable because my friend not only listening but also gives appropriate positive feedback. Also, it is because we know each other very well. There is no awkward silence during the conversation. Even if it is just small talks which is basically talking about meaningless stuff it will be fun though.
