I get used to be kind with people I don't know, so, I ask them about their lifes, where they come from?, what's they favourite music and what kind of hobbies they practice and so on.
When I meet people for the first time, firstly,I introduce myself and I said nice to meet them . Then asking about their jobs , education, abilities and more.
When I meet people for the first time, I usually talk about
greetings, basic personal information or hobby to find the same point for continuing the conversation.
Whenever I meet new people I talked about name, work, from which place, nice to meet you and other things
First expression is the last expression.
How can I download this track?
Hello bassamlkhtb90,
If you are using a computer, do a right-click on top of the audio player and then choose the option 'Save as' and you should be able to download it. If you're using a tablet or a phone, I imagine you can also download it, but how you do that depends on what kind of operating system you have.
Best wishes,
