First of all, talk about the progress of the paper. The most important thing for graduate students during their graduate studies is to write papers. Only by producing certain thesis results can we graduate smoothly. So chatting with the tutor is also the most important content for graduate students. Graduate students are most taboo behind closed doors. When they can't write their papers, or have some new ideas about their papers, they can talk to their tutors. As a big shot in this research field, the tutor will definitely give you some practical suggestions.
Second, talk about the emotional situation in daily life. Graduate students are generally adults. There is no need to get along with their tutors like primary school and junior high school. They have a great sense of distance from their teachers and can get along with their tutors as friends. Tell me about your feelings, your life and so on. The tutor is also a graduate student, who has the same academic experience as you and will give you some reasonable suggestions as an experienced person.
Third, talk about current affairs and gossip. Graduate students and tutors can not only talk about papers and life, but also talk about current affairs and gossip like friends. Caring about state affairs is what every citizen should do, especially highly educated intellectuals.
