When you meet someone for the first time,it isn't aiways easy to stait a conversation.
Talk about something you can both see.For example,you could say something nice about the other person's shoes or clothing.But you should never say anything too personal.
The weather is always a safe topic.It's not too personal and everybody feels comfortable talking about it.But don't make angry statements or the person may not want to talk to you.
talk about something you are both doing ---waiting for a bus,studying for an exam,or buying something in a store.Use simpie language.
