How to open the conversation?
打开对话的方式有千万种，但是下面是几种最不好的去open the conversation的句子，大家一定不要用。
1. Can I practice English with you? / Can I speak English with you?
2. Do you speak English? Do you wanna talk with me?
在你要打开你的对话时，你一定考虑到对方会怎么感觉或者对方所尊重的价值观。
一个成功的opening从语言的角度来说有千万种表达方式，但是你的思维应该这么想，你的任何语言都要基于你对现在处的情况的理解。
例如：在汽车站，你遇到一个美国人，你想跟他练英语，怎么办？

A: Well it’s really a long time waiting for a bus.
B: ya, traffic is really a big problem in Beijing.
A: ya, traffic is a problem in the whole China. By the way, my name is XXX, a student …
例如：在大学，有一个美国女生坐在长椅上读书，你想跟她练英语，怎么办呢？

Sam: Hi, how is it going?
Ted: Pretty good, Sam. Only the awful weather, you know.
