Meeting People
Hi there, my name is Jane!
Hi Jane! I’m Jessica.
It’s nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you too. Do you like meeting new people?
I love meeting new people. What about you?
I get a bit nervous when I meet new people.
Me too. Some times, I don’t know what to say.
Same here. I don’t want to offend people.
neither do I. First impressions aren’t that important, though.
You think so? I think they are very important.
They can be, but a lot of times they are wrong.
Yeah, that’s true. What do you normally do when you first meet someone?
Well, I introduce myself just like I did with you!
Me too! Sometimes, I tell people my age when I meet them.
I worry about asking someone their age, because they might be offended.
Where I come from, it isn’t impolite to ask.
That’s cool. So, are you still nervous?
Not really, now that we’ve talked for a bit.
I’m always a bit shy around people anyway.
Really? I’m the opposite!
Yeah, I tend to stay pretty quiet.
I’m quiet if I don’t know what to say.
What do you normally talk about when you first meet someone?
I usually talk about my hobbies or interests.
That’s cool. I usually ask a lot of questions.
Aren’t you afraid you’ll ask something inappropriate?
Not really. I don’t ask really personal questions.
That’s good. So, do you meet new people a lot?
Not really. This is pretty rare for me!
Oh, I meet new people all the time. I go out a lot.
Where do you go to meet people?
I meet people at parties and when I’m with my friends.
Oh, okay. I don’t go to a lot of parties.
Maybe I’ll take you to one.
Cool, I’ll get to meet more people!
