Can you remember how to
start a conversation at a party? How about:
"Excuse me, but I heard you were the person
who made the punch. I just wanted to tell you it’s unbelievably good."
So you get talking for the next 10 minutes. Then
what? Silence starts to set in. So does panic.
Can you keep it going? How can you keep the
conversation alive? How would you do that in your first language? Write a few
lines and check with a partner before publishing:
A; Hi, Did you taste Shiraz wine?
B: Oh no. I don’t like taste everything. I’m
good.
A: Oh, Wonderful, I have been before same
as you. I don’t like taste any wine.
B: Really? But you present
to me another brand.
A: No, I saw you that
drink Shiraz wine same as me.
B: Oh no. But this is so
good wine. I’m joseph.
A: Saeed. Nice to meet
you.
