When I was nine years old, I loved to go fishing with my dad. My father could catch many fish while I caught _______. I usually got very sad and_______asking him why. He always answered,“Son, if you want to catch a fish, you have to_______ like a fish.” “But I am not a fish,”I said, “and I don't know what fish like.”

Also, fish don't have any eyelids(眼皮) and the sun hurts their eyes ... The more I understand fish, the better I am at finding and_________them.

Making good conversation with a stranger can be difficult. Here are some ways to try if you don’t know what to do Talk about a topic common to both of you. The topic can be the food or the weather. For example, “How do you like the food?” But keep it on the positive side! The first time you meet a person isn’t a good time to complain.

Ask open questions that can’t be answered with one word. “What’s keeping you busy these days?” is a good question if you are talking to a person who doesn’t have an office job.

Ask a follow-up (接下来的) question if you have asked a question that can be answered with one word. For example, if you ask, “Where are you from?”, an interesting follow-up question might be, “What would your life be like if you still lived there?”

Ask getting-to-know-you questions. You can ask, “What are your favourite newspapers and magazines? What websites do you often visit?” These questions often show a hidden interest, which can help you go on with a great conversation.

React (作出反应) to what a person is saying. If you are trying to make the conversation interesting, but the person never reacts, you will feel unhappy. So, if the person tells a joke, even if it’s not funny, try to laugh. And if he offers some surprising information, react with surprise.
