to discuss with you.
A : No problem. Thank you for your time.
1. Practice the three conversations with your friends.
Reading
1. Read the following passage.
What do you talk about when you first meet someone from other
countries? First, I’ll greet the other person and ask him about the trip. Then I
might make some comments on the weather or ask him about his visit : For
example, where he is staying, how long he is staying. Then I might ask some
questions about where he is from or what his interests are. I’ll try to stay
away from religion or politics. I might talk about current news events. In
general, when I am the host I feel responsible for keeping the conversation
going and feel uncomfortable if there are long periods of silence.
