  Social English 1

  1. Listening When you meet someone for the first time and start up a conversation, it is important to find points of common interest so that the conversation can run smoothly.

  Dialogue 1 ( )

  Now listen again and note down the answers to these questions.

  Dialogue 1: Has the visitor been to Japan before?

  Dialogue 2: Which hotel is the visitor staying in?

  Dialogue 3: What topic of common interest do they find?

  Dialogue 4: What topic of common interest do they find?

  Dialogue 5: What topic of common interest do they find?

  Dialogue 3

  A: Is this your first trip to Japan?

  A: I'm pleased to hear that. Have you found time to see much?

  B: Well, I visited the gardens.

  A: Oh, are you interested in gardens?

  B: Actually, yes, it's my hobby.

  A: Mine too…

  Dialogue 4

  A: Are you staying long?

  B: No, unfortunately only a couple of weeks.

  A: Business or pleasure?

  B: Business, I'm afraid. My company is setting up an office here in Tokyo.

  A: Really? Where is your company based?

  B: In Detroit, sort of north mid-west of the States.

  A: Yes, I know it. I visited it two years ago.

  B: Ah, really?…

  Dialogue 5

  A: I believe you're in fashion.

  B: Yes that's right- on the design side.

  A: That's a coincidence. My wife's a fashion designer.

  B: Oh, I'd like to meet her.

  A: You must come round to dinner one evening.

  B: That would be nice.

  A: Good, I'll fix it up later this week.

  2. Presentation Successful conversation depends on finding a topic both people can easily talk about. One-way of reaching this point is to follow a number of steps until a topic of common interest is found. A typical sequence might be:

  1. opening question

  2. immediate answer

  3. follow-up question

  4. immediate answer + additional comment

  5. next question or comment on topic of common interest

  6. Answer or further comment on topic of common interest

  Now look more closely at the typical sequence of conversation.

  2.1 Opening question

  Is this your first trip to________________?

  How was your trip?

  2.2 Immediate answer

  Yes, it is.

  Fine, thanks.

  2.3 Follow-up question

  Are you staying long?

  Business or pleasure?
