In the next class we will be talking about what to do (and what NOT to do) when you meet someone for the first time. Also, what to say and where to go on a first date!
Please answer one of the questions below:
1. When you meet someone for the first time, what do you usually talk about with them? What kinds of things do you NOT talk about?
2. When you go on a first date with someone, where is a good place to go? What are some good topics to talk about?

Hi!Matt!
ReplyDeleteI want to answer the first question.
When I meet someone for the first time, in the case of the same school, I usually talk about the place we live, the majors, the hobbies, the likes and the dislikes, which are kind of ordinary and boring in a way.
conversely, I do not want to talk about the serious things, for example, the worries and something bothering me and the person, because for the first time, I do not know that the person is reliable. Therefore, I don't talk about such things.
See you next class!

Hi, Matt!
ReplyDeleteI would like to answer the second question.
I think going to movie is one of good idea when a first date.Going to Italian restaurant after movie must be more effective.Because there is no woman who hates pasta.And I think how to spend free time is one of very good topic.
See you nest class!

When I meet someone for the first timecase, I usually talk about the place we live, what your name, the hobbies and the likes and the dislikes things.
However, I do not want to talk about the serious things, the worries and my private things for the first time.Because, I do not want to let someone who meet first time know my private.
Therefore, I don't talk about such things.
See you in next class!

Hello, Matt!
ReplyDeleteMy answer to the 1st question:
Wenn I meet someone for the first time, I'll first ask his name, what he does(his job), where he's from, what he studies or which university he goes to, if he has sisters or brothers, and his age but only when he is a male. Then we'll talk about maybe about our hobbys and so on. But I won't talk about religion, belief and money(salary). They are too private to talk about at the first meeting. And also about politics or his political opinions. They usually become a discussion and make me tired...

Hi Matt!
ReplyDeleteI'd like to answer the second one.
When I go on a first date with someone, I'd like to go to the park. I like to go anywhere, do anything but walking in the park must be included... Luckily, it doesn't cost at all. And you can always see changes like trees and plants.
I'm not sure which is good topic to talk about... Perhaps I'll talk about small things like our favourite things which we can share, but rather than that, just enjoy singing together is the best for me because I'm kind of a shy girl and cannot find nice topics during the date.
See you soon!

Hi,Matt!
ReplyDeleteI'd like to answer the second question.
When I go on a first date with someone, I'd like to go to the theater, and I want to see a movie or a play!
I think we will be nervous when a first date, and we will be not able to talk well each other.
Therefore, first, it is good for us to feel relaxed! Seeing movie is a very good way of feeling relaxed, I think.
Moreover, after we see a movie, we will have some impressions of the movie. We can share the impressions each other, and our conversation becomes lively! Then, we talk about favorite movies, favorite sings, favorite actors,and so on.
I think we need chance of good talking when a first date!
See you next class!

Hello, Matt!
ReplyDeleteI'd like to answer the first question.
I ask a few simple questions when I talk with someone I meet for the first time. For example, where they are from, what their hobbies are or what their favorite TV programs are. And I try to find something I have in common with them.
On the other hand, I do not ask personal questions. Their e-mail address, phone number, where they live, etc. These are what I feel a little difficult to ask even when I talk with my classmates.

Hi everybody,
ReplyDeleteWhen I meet someone for the first time, I usually ask them about their job. But actually, I hate talking about work so maybe I should ask them about something else like music or food...
Hello,Matt.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to answer the first question.
When I met someone for the first time, I usually find the common liking in various fields between each other. Then,I talk about it. This is a good way to not only know about someone but also have a good time with him or her.
Almost all the topic is OK, but I think I shouldn't talk about religion because this topic is very delicate especially when tailking with forigners. We Japanese are not so selious about religion, but not all the people have such kind of thinking. In the first contact, we must pay attention to such issue or we must not talk about it.

When I meet someone for the first time, I usually talk about where we were brought up, where do we live now, what sports we do, and what do we study. And I often talk about the weather. I think it's nice topic to talk because everybody knows about it and easy to talk about recent weather.

Yuko Kamada Th4
Hello Matt!
ReplyDeletehmm, these questions are very difficult to answer. I am not shy with strangers and I can talk about everything what I want. That's why it is not easy to find a "good" topic. Anyway, what I usually do is walking around the harbour of Yokohama (Yokohama Minatomirai) and seeing some movies so that I don't have to talk about some unnecesarry boring thema. I don't notice that I talk too much... I am looking forward to knowing which topics my classmate choose for a first date.
see you tomorrow!
