和老外聊天,你该说点什么话题?哪些话题大家都能接受?哪些是该回避的禁忌。这里准备了几个小贴士,让你2分钟变身聊天达人!
当开始谈话的时候,最好要选择安全的话题,比如天气,工作,体育,爱好和兴趣。
1. Where are you from?这通常是人们互相提问的第一个问题。你可以回答国家或者地方,例如Im from England 或者Im from Dallas。
2. Is this your first trip to Beijing?这是当对方是访客的时候常问的问题。
3. Its hot today, isnt it?谈论天气是常见的小话题,哪里都适用。
4. What do you do for a living?意思是Where do you work?, 或者Whats your job?
5. Did you see the match last night?体育也是个很好的话题,但是如果你们支持的是不同的球队,容易引起争论。
避免的话题
尽管这取决于你的文化背景,总体来说你还是应该避免taboo(禁忌)话题,例如政治、宗教、年龄和婚姻状态。
6. How old are you?年龄是一个敏感的话题,尤其是男士询问女士的年龄,不要问啦!
7. Have you put on weight?你应该避免关于外表的评论。你可能觉得你在赞美别人,而事实上你在冒犯别人!
8. How much do you earn?大多数人都不喜欢谈论金钱,如果你询问工资,他们会觉得尴尬。
谈话小贴士
你可以用这些小贴士来提高交流技巧:
9. 询问后续问题,使谈话继续进行。例如,如果别人说, I saw a really good film last night,你可以回答并问Really? What was it about?
10. 使用合适的回答来表示你正在聆听。合适的表达包括 Oh?, Wow!, Thats great! 或者Thats too bad。
