Cultural Corner;Fast Reading;1. When two strangers meet, they often use the AAA. From the example in the passage we know that the first person asks the second person a question, the second person answers. This is the first A (answer). Then the conversation begins. In order to show that he is interested in the conversation, the second person can add ( the second A) something exact to the simple answer to the question. And then in order to continue their conversation, the second person can ask the partner the same question or quite another. This is the third A (ask). At first they may have difficulty, but they soon realize that the important thing is that they are saying something. By continuing with the AAA model, they continue the conversation to avoid an embarrassing silence. Maybe in the end they can find something they have in common. This is how the AAA model works.;2. Of course. I think in whichever countries you are, people are eager to communicate with others. Most of the time a small talk is necessary. The AAA model is very useful in the conversation. There is no exception in China. When we meet someone we don’t know, we often start the conversation by asking a question, for example, where do you live? Or where is your hometown? In this way the conversation starts. ;Answers to questions in Activity 2;Useful expressions In The AAA;Thankyou
