Ice-breakers 如何避免初次交谈中的冷场
I'm a college student majoring in business English. I'm very confused how to start a talk with foreigners who come to visit China. Sometimes I think it's hard to find a common topic with them because I think we have culture difference, so when I talk to them I feel very nervous and little confidence. Could you give me some suggestions?

What do you talk about when you meet someone for the first time?
This is Lu Ping's question. He is concerned that the cultural difference between China and Western countries can make it hard to communicate when he meets foreigners in China.
