When I was a child, my
parents always told me that I should never talk to
strangers. This was
part of a whole
list of things I should never do: Never accept
food or candy from strangers, never
get
in a car with strangers, and so on. They think
strangers may do something harmful to
us.
But if we didn't
start a conversation with strangers, we'd never
make new friends. We'd never
get
a
job.
We
may
miss
the
happiness
that
comes
from
talking
with
strangers.
And
the
more
people
you know, the more chances you can get.
The following passage offers you
some advice on how to break the ice.
Don't just look at your shoes. Go and
say
you know more about different
cultures.

one of the topics the British care most about. And
there's a simple rule: Say
That's because the British start a
conversation using the weather so that they can
continue their
talk.
French: Where did you go on
holiday?
To
talk

a
French
person,
the
safest
way
is
to
ask
about
his
or
her
last
holiday.
French
students enjoy a
10-to-15-day holiday every two months. French
employees
（雇员）
get more
than one and a half months of holidays
every year.
American:
So, where are you from?
The US is so big and people move so often that
place is always a source
（来源）
of talk. You
can
try
to
find
a
connection
with
the
place
they're
from.

Lately, people have
entered the forests where chimpanzees live. The
chimpanzees have been
getting
sick
because
of
people's
diseases.
In
addition,
people
are
hunting
chimpanzees.
Their
number is becoming
smaller and smaller.
Chimpanzees live in the plains and forests of
Africa. They eat many kinds of foods, from plant
leaves and seeds to insects and even
other small animals. Chimpanzees' favourite food
is fruit.
Chimpanzees
are very clever and they can use tools well. They
can catch bugs by using sticks,
and
break nuts by using rocks.
The world's forests are much smaller than they
were before. Roads were built in deep forests,
so people start to enter the forests
where chimpanzees live. That may lead to many
problems.
One problem for chimpanzees
is that they can easily catch people's diseases
and die.
Chimpanzees are
much closer to people than monkeys.
As it's easier for people to enter
forests, they hunt more often. Young chimpanzees
are caught
to be pets or for scientific
research. The young ones are taken away from the
forests, and the
adults are killed.
Chimpanzees are likely to disappear in the
future.
