Explanation:
This dialogue is a good example of how to start a conversation with someone new at school. Amina and Ben introduce themselves and quickly find common ground by talking about their classes. Ben then suggests that they study together, which is a great way to get to know someone better.
Here are some other tips for starting a conversation with someone new at school:
- Be friendly and approachable. Smile and make eye contact.
- Start with a simple question, such as "How are you?" or "What's your name?"
- Find common ground by talking about your classes, hobbies, or interests.
- Be positive and enthusiastic. People are more likely to want to talk to you if you seem happy and interested in what they have to say.
Of course, you don't have to follow this dialogue exactly. The most important thing is to be yourself and be genuine.
