“Hi! I'm new here.”
How do you START a conversation?
After the initial greeting, what’s your magic line to keep the chat going? Let’s think of fun, friendly ways to break the ice!
1.7.2013
Imagine this: a new student comes to our class. You say "Hi!". But then what? What do you say next to start a real conversation? Let's brainstorm some ideas. You can speak in Chinese first, and I'll write down the key words in English.
‹#›
Task 1b ①: First Meeting
Conversation 1: Teng Fei & Emma Miller
Teng Fei: Good morning! May I have your name?
Emma: Good morning! My name is Emma Miller.
Teng Fei: How do you spell your name?
Emma: E-M-M-A, Emma. M-I-L-L-E-R, Miller. You can call me Emma.
🎯 Your Turn: Read the conversation again. Circle the sentence they use to start the conversation. Then, underline the part where Emma spells her name – notice the double letters!
Teng Fei: Nice to meet you, Emma. My name is Teng Fei.
Emma: Nice to meet you too, Teng Fei.
1.7.2013
Now let's listen to the first conversation. It's between Teng Fei and Emma. After listening, please read the dialogue and find the sentence they used to start the conversation. Also, pay attention to how Emma spells her name.
‹#›
Task 1b ②: A Chance Meeting
🗣️Conversation: Helen & Yaming
Helen: Hello, Wang Yaming! How are you today?
Yaming: Hi, Helen. I’m fine, thank you. And you?
Helen: I’m great, thanks.
Yaming: Oh, that’s the bell. Let’s go to class.
Helen: Goodbye!
Yaming: Bye!
❓ Key Questions & Answers
1. Where are they?
2. Why do they say goodbye?
💡 Language Tip:In casual conversations, people often use short forms like "I'm OK" or "See you!" instead of long sentences. This is common between friends or classmates in a hurry!
They meet in the school hallway (corridor).
Because they hear the school bell for class.
1.7.2013
Now for the second conversation. It's between Helen and Wang Yaming. First, look at the picture and guess where they meet. Then listen and read to check your answer. Also, find out why they have to say goodbye so quickly.
‹#›
Check & Learn: The Conversation Chain
A conversation has a START, a GO ON, and an END.
START 开始
• Hello!
• Good morning.
• Hi there!
GO ON 展开
• What's your name?
• How are you?
• Nice to meet you.
END 结束
• Goodbye.
• See you later!
• Have a nice day.
1.7.2013
Let's check the answers. Did you get them right? Now, look at this table. We can see that a conversation is like a chain. It has a beginning, a middle, and an end. This is a very useful structure!
‹#›
Sentence Pattern ①: Asking for Names
Casual Talk (Friends & Peers)
"What's your name?"
Use this with people your age or close friends you're familiar with.
Polite Form (New Classmates)
"May I have your name?"
A more respectful way to ask. Great for first meetings! 🌟🌟🌟
How to Answer?
1. My name is [Full Name].
Example: "My name is Sarah Jenkins." (Good for formal situations)
2. I'm [Nickname/Short Name].
Example: "I'm Sarah." (Casual and friendly for daily chats)
1.7.2013
Now let's learn how to ask for someone's name. To your friends, you can say "What's your name?". But when you meet a new classmate, it's more polite to say "May I have your name?". Let's practice both. And remember the answers: "My name is..." or "I'm...".
‹#›
Culture Window: English Names
Emma Miller
👧 Emma = First Name (名)
Your unique personal name, given at birth.
👨 Miller = Last Name (姓)
Your family name, shared with your relatives.
💡 Compare with Chinese Names:
English: First Name → Last Name Chinese: Last Name → First Name
(e.g., Emma Miller) VS (e.g., 腾 飞)
1. 首字母大写
Always start both the first and last name with a capital letter (e.g., "Emma", not "emma").
2. 留出空格
(e.g., "Emma Miller", not "EmmaMiller").
3. 使用“名字”去交流
Among friends, classmates, or peers, it's common and friendly to use just the first name.
1.7.2013
In English, names are a little different. We have a first name and a last name. The first name comes first, like Emma. The last name comes last, like Miller. This is different from Chinese names. Also, remember to capitalize the first letter and leave a space. When you become friends, you can call them by their first name.
‹#›
Sentence Pattern ②: Spelling Names
How do you spell your name?
A:How do you spell your name?
你怎么拼写你的名字?
B:E-M-M-A, Emma.M-I-L-L-E-R, Miller.
E-M-M-A,艾玛。M-I-L-L-E-R,米勒。
📝 Spelling Rules (拼写小秘诀)
01. Use CAPITAL LETTERS
Always use big letters (A, B, C...) to make it clear and easy to understand.
02. Use a Hyphen (-)
Put a hyphen between each letter to separate them (e.g., J-O-H-N, not JOHN).
1.7.2013
This is a very important question: "How do you spell your name?". When you ask this, the other person will spell their name letter by letter. Remember the rules: use capital letters and a hyphen. Let's practice spelling our own names.
‹#›
Sentence Pattern ③: Asking "How are you?"
A: How are you?
B: I'm fine, thank you. And you?
A: I'm great, thanks.
You can
also say:
😐
I'm fine.
😄
I'm great.
😎
I'm OK.
1.7.2013
Another common way to continue a conversation is to ask "How are you?". The classic answer is "I'm fine, thank you." But you can also say "I'm great" or "I'm OK" depending on how you feel. Let's ask each other how we are feeling today!
‹#›
Sentence Pattern ④: Meeting & Goodbye
👋 When you meet someone new
• Nice to meet you.
• Nice to meet you too.
💡 Tip: Smile when you say this! It shows you’re happy to meet them.
🚪 When you need to leave
Oh, that's the bell. Let's go to class.
• Goodbye. / Bye.
💡 Tip: "Bye" is more casual than "Goodbye". Use it with friends!
1.7.2013
When you meet someone for the first time, it's nice to say "Nice to meet you." And when it's time to go, you can say "Goodbye" or "Bye". If the class is about to start, you can say "Oh, that's the bell. Let's go to class."
