Carla: Brazil. And you?
Peter: I'm from the UK.
Carla: How long have you been here?
Peter: I've worked here for three years but I actually moved here from the UK five years ago, to study.
I usually talk about where do you live and where are you come from
When I meet someone for the next time, I ask that person about her/his name, job or study, where is he/she working in?,where is he/she from?,her/his family status, her/his hobbies, where does he/she live now?
I ask first what is their name, obviously and what they do, where they are from and then what they like to do to pass the time or if they like the cinema, since that’s what I like to talk about
I usually talk about countries he/she lives and he/she/they job(s).
I'm quite a friendly and open-minded person, I usually make friends everywhere. I have also a lot of conversations with everyone. And I also have the most impressive conversation with a person who is my best friend now. His name is Dang. The first time I meet him is in a coffee shop. When he asked me some physics questions, I helped him deal with them, so we became friends with each other. We asked each other about personal information such as name, age, social networking account,... etc. And that night, we also talked to each other very much, and we played the game together. And now, we are best friend.
I think I will ask them about their names,age, and if they have social media accounts i take their instagram.
I usually talk about age, birth, nationality, jobs, hobies.
I usually talk about their names, their works and where they are from . It 's not good to know all of the things about them because of the first time. So I ask general questions about their life styles.
When I meet any person , I ask him about his name and his country and I ask him about kind of study if he is studying but if he is working I ask him about his job and his company which he is working in and I ask him about what does he do in his work
Normally I say: Hi, how are you, nice to meet you.
Where are you from?
And what do you work?
