分分钟和老外聊到High~
1.Where did you grow up?
This is a great icebreaker that gets someone talking about the past, which often puts others at ease。
你是在哪长大的?这是非常好的一句开场白,可以让对方谈论起过去,这样对话双方会比较轻松。

你养宠物吗?人们都喜欢宠物,问起他们的宠物能让对话进行下去。即使对方没有宠物,这也不失为一个好的开场白。
3. What's your favorite book?
Instead of asking what people are reading right now, which can be a bit too intimate, asking about a book they love can create a mutual connection。
你最喜欢的书是哪一本? 如果直接询问对方正在阅读的书,显得太过亲密。而问他们喜欢的书利于在彼此之间建立联系。
