1. In what situations would people be willing to get to know new people?
On social occasions such as parties, networking meetings, or other gatherings, people are frequently eager to socialize with new people. Some instances might include beginning a new job, joining a fresh club or association, or relocating. Shared interests, common objectives, or simply being receptive to novel experiences might lead to opportunities to meet new individuals. When we go out and speak to a wide variety of people, from diverse backgrounds, ages, and social groups, we can not only learn more about what people specifically appreciate to befriend them more easily but also to improve our common sense.
- networking meetings: các cuộc họp trực tuyến
- gatherings: tụ họp
- socialize: xã hội hóa
- relocating: di dời
- receptive: tiếp thu
- novel experiences: kinh nghiệm mới lạ
- a wide variety of: nhiều loại
- diverse: phong phú
- backgrounds: tầng lớp
- ages: lứa tuổi
- social groups: nhóm xã hội
- specifically appreciate: đặc biệt đánh giá cao
- befriend: kết bạn
- common sense: ý thức chung
2. Where do people go to meet new people?
In a variety of settings, including the workplace, school, social gatherings, clubs, and organizations, people can meet new people. They can also interact with new individuals through mutual friends. Via hobby and interest clubs as well as online networks, they might also discover new acquaintances. Above those, one of the riskiest and most direct methods to meet new individuals is through travel. People are generally in a good mood, especially when traveling on vacation, which creates opportunities for casual, fun meetings with strangers.
- settings: cài đặt
- social gatherings: các cuộc tụ họp xã hội
- individuals: cá nhân
- mutual friends: bạn chung
- acquaintances: những người quen
- casual: bình thường
3. How do people start a conversation?
Finding common ground, asking questions, and expressing interest in the other person are ways that people embark on a discussion. Breaking the ice can be made easier by making small talk about the surroundings, current affairs, hobbies, or shared experiences. Small talk also helps create belonging between peers and sets the groundwork for deeper conversations, which can be helpful for promotion in the career path. Starting a conversation also requires maintaining eye contact, being upbeat, and actively listening.
- common ground: mặt bằng chung
- embark on: bắt tay vào
- breaking the ice: phá băng
- making small talk: cuộc nói chuyện ngắn
- groundwork: nền móng
- deeper conversations: cuộc trò chuyện sâu sắc hơn
- career path: con đường sự nghiệp
- upbeat: lạc quan
4. Is it difficult for Chinese people to communicate with people from other countries?
To be frank, I am not Chinese so it’s hard for me to tell. It may depend on a person’s linguistic competence, cultural awareness, and communication proficiency. While speaking with people from other nations, some Chinese people may encounter language challenges, yet others may speak English well and be tolerant of many cultures. The range is still enormous.
- linguistic competence: năng lực ngôn ngữ
- proficiency: khả năng
- tolerant: chấp thuận
- enormous: lớn lao
5. Why are some people unwilling to have conversations with others?
Due to social anxiety, shyness, or a lack of confidence, some people may find it difficult to engage in conversation with others. Also, it could be problematic for individuals to socialize with others because of their dissimilar communication styles or life experiences. Some may find it difficult to connect with others or prefer to keep it to themselves. One possibility is that, despite the fact that it is generally enjoyable, people believe talking to strangers will be stilted, awkward, and unpleasant. To my concerns, people are skeptical of the value of moments of connection with new people.
- shyness: tính nhút nhát
- engage in: tham gia vào
- problematic: có vấn đề
- individuals: cá nhân
- socialize: xã hội hóa
- keep it to themselves: giữ nó cho riêng mình
- stilted: đi cà kheo
- skeptical: hoài nghi
6. Is it difficult for adults to talk with children?
When talking with children merely includes delivering instructions, such as how to use scissors, or laying out concepts, such as why cars are harmful, adults typically have no trouble doing so. However, when the child’s or their own feelings are involved, they can struggle to communicate. This is because children may not yet be mature enough to understand the matter that the adults are trying to bring about.
- merely: đơn thuần
- delivering instructions: cung cấp hướng dẫn
- laying out concepts: trình bày các khái niệm
- struggle: đấu tranh
