Meeting New Friends

Meeting new people can be fun and exciting. When you meet someone for the first time, it's polite to introduce yourself and say "Nice to meet you!" Small talk is a good way to start a conversation. You can ask questions like "Where are you from?" or "What do you do?" These questions help you learn about the other person. Many people also talk about the weather or their hobbies during small talk.

In Vietnam, people often meet friends at coffee shops or restaurants. They make small talk before talking about more important things. It's important to listen carefully when someone talks about themselves. If you ask good questions and show interest, people will enjoy talking to you. Learning small talk helps you make new friends and feel more confident when meeting people in English-speaking countries.
