TOPIC SPEAKING TATQ5
Topic 1: Organisation
1. How do you see yourself in your communication style ?
2. When you meet someone for the first time, what do you usually do and say
to be polite?
When you meet someone for the first time, the first thing you can say:
Hello, how are you? ; Hi, It’s nice too meet you; How are your day going?
Once people respond, you can ask a follow-up question. You can ask about
where someone is from or what they do for work. You can ask about the
weather or their experience taking public transport.
For example: Did you have a good trip? …
3. Across cultures, there are many ways of being polite in first meeting, e.g
some people shake hands, some people kiss, etc. How many different ways
to be polite can you think of? (Ở các nền văn hóa, có nhiều cách thể hiện lịch
sự trong lần gặp đầu tiên, ví dụ: một số người bắt tay, một số người hôn nhau,
v.v. Bạn có thể nghĩ ra bao nhiêu cách khác nhau để thể hiện sự lịch sự?)
Well, I think there are many different ways to be polite in the first meeting. You
can air kiss on the cheek, or say “hello”, And in my opinion, the most polite
way to do this is to shake hands. In some countries like Japan and Thailand,
people often bow to each other to show respect.
4. Is it more polite to invest time to build relationships with small talk first
and then focus on the work or task, or is it better to focus directly on the
task, and build a relationship later? Why? (Đầu tư thời gian để xây dựng mối
quan hệ bằng cách nói chuyện nhỏ trước rồi tập trung vào công việc hoặc nhiệm
vụ sẽ tốt hơn hay tốt hơn là tập trung trực tiếp vào nhiệm vụ rồi xây dựng mối
quan hệ sau? Tại sao?)
Well, I think we should invest time to build relationships with small talk first
and then focus on the work or task is better. Because it will help you to build
mutual respect before entering the work. Besides, It help you to improving
communication. After you make a small talk, you feel more relaxed and
supported at work. Therefore, you can easily focus on the work or task.
