【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 60。 But if we didn39。t start a conversation with strangers, we39。d never make new friends. We39。d never get a job. We may miss the happiness that es from talking with strangers.

It will be easier to break the ice if you know more about different cultures. British: Beautiful day, isn39。t it? The weather in Britain is changeable. So, it is one of the topics the British care most about. And there39。s a simple rule: Say Yes whether you agree with the person39。s idea on the weather or not. That39。s because the British start a conversation using the weather so that they can continue their talk. French: Where did you go on holiday? To talk with a French person, the safest way is to ask about his or her last holiday. French students enjoy a 10to15day holiday every two months. French employees（雇員） get more than one and a half months of holidays every year. American: So, where are you from? The US is so big and people move so often that place is always a source（來源） of talk.
