Brian：(01-8-29) 12:51 how are u doing.(任何时候见到任何人都可以说的一句话)

　　Nikky：(01-8-29) 12:51 i am fine, how r u.

　　Brian：(01-8-29) 12:53 fine too, actually you are the first one who come up with a response online from overseas(很多人不知道该怎样用英语表述"你是我在网上遇见的第一个外国朋友"这一句话。), so what's your time(你们那里的时间) now, here in China, it's 12:53 am.

　　Nikky：(01-8-29) 12:54 1:07 am

　　Brian：(01-8-29) 12:55 so good morning to u and in case(假如) i don't see u, good afternoon, good evening and good night(假如我们以后不能碰上，先祝你每天早上，下午，晚上都好) ,you always stay in the night so late on the net like this?

　　Brain的建议：如果想在开始赢得别人的好感，一定要自己多说两句恭维对方的话，这样对话就容易进行下去

　　Nikky：(01-8-29) 12:57 yes because i am off from work

　　如何进一步深入话题

　　Brain的要点：建议从对方来自何方，从事何种职业入手

　　Brian：(01-8-29) 12:58 that's good, where r u and what are u doing up here now? (你一定要学会这句话)

　　Nikky：(01-8-29) 12:59 I am in the united states and using the my computer.

　　Brian：(01-8-29) 13:00 u must work in the government

　　Nikky：(01-8-29) 13:00 I do, but how did u know?(是呀，你怎么知道的)

　　Brian：(01-8-29) 13:00 well, everything u have told me is technically correct, but it's no use to anyone.(虽然从理论上说你告诉我都是正确的，但一点用也没有)

　　Nikky：(01-8-29) 13:01 u must work in business(你一定是商人)

　　Brian：(01-8-29) 13:01 I do, how did u know?

　　Nikky：(01-8-29) 13:02 well, u don't know where I am, what I am doing here, but u still expect me to help u know that, u are the same before we met。

　　Brian：(01-8-29) 13:02 :>, Albright, we're even(我们扯平了) now, what is your work exactly, if there is any chance for u to be interested telling me that? (学会这句地道的美国话，能显示你的水平)

　　Brain的要点：一般人不会在交谈的开始就把自己的职业告诉对方

　　Nikky：(01-8-29) 13:02 i work in the university, i am teachers aide(助手，相当于assistant).

　　Brian：(01-8-29) 13:02 o, i see, that is a career i have been pursuing for a long time(这也是我理想中的职业，故意奉承:)。再例如：如果你问老外，Where are you from？不管他回答那个国家，你一定要说"That's a beautiful country."), and how is that going on with you.

　　Nikky：(01-8-29) 13:02 it is going great.

　　Brian：(01-8-29) 13:04 i can imagine that, how long have you been working today?

　　Nikky：(01-8-29) 13:05 i didn't work today i am off work til sept we get the summers off.(放假了，只到9月才开学)

　　Brian：(01-8-29) 13:06 oh, i am too stupid to forget that, we here in China have the summer holidays too.

　　Nikky：(01-8-29) 13:06 that's right.

　　Brain的小结：学会如何询问对方是保持继续交谈的前提，让我们回顾一下，请记住以下几句经典询问句：

　　where r u and what are u doing up here now?

　　what is your work exactly, if there is any chance for u to be interested telling me that?

　　how long have you been working today？

　　下一步怎么办！

　　(Brain的建议：如果实在不知道怎么谈，就与对方谈中国，中国在西方人眼中是有着5000年文化历史的文明古国，充满神秘色彩，但很多外国人对中国并不了解，你谈中国，他一定会感谢兴趣的。)

　　继续……

　　Brian：(01-8-29) 13:08 u live in the school or in your own apartment you rent?(住在学校里还是租的房子)

　　Nikky：(01-8-29) 13:08 i live in apt and rent. what do you do? where do you live?(什么事情都是相互的，你要是能比较好的引起对方的谈话兴趣，她也会反过来询问你的一些情况的，这不，这个Nikky开始问我了！)

　　Brian：(01-8-29) 13:11 i work for one of the largest companies in China, the marketing dept(我在市场部，简洁明了介绍自己工作地点和职业）
