Though Chinese people may want to get to know Americans, they often feel awkward talking to Americans. The language barrier is an obvious problem. However, there are other problems. Many Chinese are hesitant to speak with people that they do not know well or types of people who are outside their previous experiences. Besides, Chinese people often do not know what to talk to Americans about or how to keep the conversation moving.
If you want to get to know Americans, one important piece of advice is this: make the first move yourself. In the United States, it is common and acceptable to start conversations, even with strangers or casual acquaintances. Don’ t wait around for an American to talk to you. Start a conversation yourself. Ask questions. Show that you are interested in getting to know them. Of course, not every conversation will result in a friendship, but if you don’t start conversations, you will have much less chance of making friends.
If someone seems friendly but you have only exchanged greet/rigs, try starting a conversation. There are a number of possible subjects for casual conversation. Americans talk about their work if they are employed, their classes and majors if they are students, their families, their hobbies and leisure time activities, sports, cur- rent events, and the weather, among other topics. If you are talking to a stranger, you can ask, "What kind of work do you do?" or "Where do you work?" If you know that the other person is a student, you can ask, "What classes are you taking?" and "What is your major?" You should also be prepared to answer questions like these in a conversation. Also, many Americans are interested in China, so you should be able to talk about China and Chinese culture in English.
When you ask questions in a conversation, don’t skip around from one topic to another. Follow up one question with a related one. You might ask an American, "Do you have any children?" If the American says, "Yes," don’t follow up with a question about work. Ask another question about the children, such as how many children there are or how old they are. [br] Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 2?
选项
A、You shouldn’t ask too many questions; people might think you’re impolite.
B、You should never start a conversation yourself.
C、You can start a conversation with any American in the U. S.
D、Americans do not always start a conversation with other people.
答案
C
解析
推理判断题。根据第二段中In the United States, It is common and acceptable to start conversations, even with strangers or casual acquaintances. 既然与陌生人都稀松平常,可推知开始交谈的对象可以是任何一个美国人,因此答案为C。
