Five things to say after "hello"
Today, the video that I watched is very interesting and very useful. The topic is about how to improve your conversations with other people. In the video James suggested five things to start a conversation.
(1) "I love your ..., where did you get it?"
For example, when I see a girl in a party, I can say: "Hello, I love your ear rings, they look so cool. Where did you get it? I want to buy a cool present for a friend.
(2) " Wow, you have / are ... What do you do?"
For example, I can say to a girl: "Wow, you have very good skin, what do you do?"
(3) "I am loving the rain/cold/sun."
For example, I can say on a raining day to someone who also in the lift: "I am loving the rain. It will make my garden more and more beutiful and I can earn my first apples which I make totally by myself."
(4) "Hello, tell me how would you finish this phrase. I want to be the best ..."
What's the meaning of "phrase" here?
(5) "Did you hear about ...?"
For example, I can say: "Did you hear about the new girl in the cantine? She began a business when she was 11 years old. ..."
Furthermore, you should good listen to the speaking person and be yourself. And, don't use the five things at the same time.
That's all. When you want to watch the video, please search "James engvid how to start a conversation"

Five things to say after "hello"
Today, the video that I watched a video that was is very interesting and very useful. The topic was how to improve your conversations with other people. In the video James suggested five things to start a conversation.(1) "I love your ..., where did you get it?"
For example, when I see a girl at a party, I can say: "Hello, I love your earrings, they look so cool. Where did you get them? I want to buy a cool present for a friend.
(2) " Wow, you have / are ... What do you do?"
For example, I can say to a girl: "Wow, you have very good skin. What do you do?"
I am being a little nitpicky here, but "What do you do?" is kind of an odd wording in this context. You could ask something like "What is your skincare routine?"
(3) "I am loving the rain/cold/sun."
For example, I can say on a rainy day to someone who is also in the lift: "I am loving the rain. It will make my garden more and more beautiful and I can pick my first apples, which I grow totally by myself."
(4) "Hello, tell me how would you finish this phrase. I want to be the best ..."
What's the meaning of "phrase" here? A phrase is a group of words. In this case, it is the first part of a sentence.
(5) "Did you hear about ...?"
For example, I can say: "Did you hear about the new girl in the cafe? She started a business when she was 11 years old. ..."
Furthermore, you should good listen well to the other person when they are speaking and be yourself. And, don't use the five things at the same time.
