Hey guys, how's it going today?
-
My name is Brandon.
-
And in this video, we're going to help you improve your English speaking ability.
-
When you first meet somebody, you might want to ask them a million questions.
-
But, actually, you want to keep a balance of giving and asking questions.
-
And in this video, we're going to show you how.
-
So keep watching.
-
Whenever, I'm traveling abroad, I'm always wanting to meet new people, have good conversations,
-
and just have a good time.
-
But, generally, all the conversations are almost the same.
-
They always ask the same questions.
-
Where are you from?
-
What do you do?
-
Why are you here?
-
Where do you live?
-
How old are you?
-
And so on and so on.
-
Those aren't bad questions.
-
But it just feels like I'm being interviewed.
-
And I don't want to be interviewed.
-
I want to talk to you.
-
I want to learn a little bit about you.
-
So if you ask me what's my favorite sports team,
-
After tell me yours, and tell me why.
-
The key is keeping a balance.
-
Between asking and giving information.
-
Balance is key.
-
So the next time you see me walking down the street, or any other foreigner, go up and
-
say, “hi”.
-
Start a conversation.
-
Ask them some questions.
-
But don't ask them one million questions.
-
You want to start a conversation.
-
And a conversation is sharing information between two or more people.
-
So make sure you give them some information about yourself, too.
