Making Friends
Whenever people move to another city or even another country, they’re faced with the challenge of making new friends. Of course, the first thing that is needed is to be around other people. This is easier if you are attending a school. If not, you might want to join a club or social group. This could include places such as a fitness club or even a book reading club at a library. By joining a group or club you would be around people with a common interest which would be a good topic for conversation. Talking about hobbies is a good way to start a conversation. Other good topics to talk about are music, sports or movies. Usually it’s not best to ask a lot of personal questions to people you have known only for a short time. However it’s good to ask a lot of follow-up questions to keep a conversation going. For example, if you’re talking about movies, you can ask questions such as “Who’s your favorite actor?”, “What kind of movies do you like?”, and “Is there a good movie theatre around here that you can recommend?”. Most all. Don’t be shy.
