Hi! How are you I hope you and your family are well.
I have a favor to ask. Next week, I’m going to a reception at the Chinese Embassy here in London and I’m really looking forward to it. I’m going to meet some senior high school students and their teachers. The only problem is that I’m not very good at small talk with people I don’t know—I’m always worried about saying the wrong thing or making people feel bored.
I need to know what I can talk about with the Chinese people that I meet. I wonder if you could be kind enough to answer these questions.
Here in England, there are certain questions that you shouldn’t really ask people that you don’t know—“How old are you ” for example, and “How much do you earn ” Are there any questions that you shouldn’t ask people in China
What sort of things do Chinese teenagers like talking about Sport Music Films And what sort of things do they find boring Politics The weather Looking forward to your reply Alex.
