hey naturals how's it going it's lovely
to see you here I'm Gabby your English
teacher if you didn't already know and
I'm super excited I love this English
tip lesson that I'm about to share with
you it's how to continue any
conversation this is going to boost
improve your English level and fluency
so people really know that you're fluent
and in fact this is really helpful for a
lot of native English speakers too so if
you're ready to learn the five phrases
or questions that you can use to
continue any conversation then let's go
alright take a look at the board behind
me here so I have five questions and
well one phrase one sentence that you
can use to really continue any
conversation in any situation these are
very versatile practical phrases so I'm
going to read them here for you so that
you know how to say them you can repeat
after me okay number one what brings you
here
what brings you here what brings you
here okay excellent
so what brings you here is asking about
the person's background it's like asking
a little bit more about the person why
are you at this place or events or city
or country the answer is of course going
to depend on the situation so you could
add to this to be more specific you
could say if you are at a party you
could say what brings you here to this
party or what brings you here to New
York City maybe you're in New York City
and you met someone who is visiting okay
next number two what are you working on
if you are in a work situation maybe a
networking event talking to your
colleagues or your office mates you
could ask this question what are you
working on but this also is a great
question if you're talking with friends
at a part
if they have any projects or anything
interesting going on at work it could be
even a personal project that could tell
you about that and a nice addition to
this question is what are you working on
these days next what are you most
excited about now I love this question
because it really lets your friend or
your conversation partner tell you about
what they're passionate about it's not
the same old same old what do you do oh
I'm a bla bla bla it's allowing them to
tell you whatever they want to tell you
so what are you most excited about I
love this question number four
tell me about fill in the blank with
whatever you'd like to know about tell
me about yourself tell me about New York
City tell me about your country tell me
about your hobbies you can really put
pretty much anything here that you'd
like to know about number five what do
you need help with I love this question
because it's a great way to find out of
course how you can help the person maybe
how you could connect the people you
know with your new friends or how you
could help your new friend so you could
add these days what do you need help
with these days or how can I help you do
you have any projects that I could help
you with now you want to be clear you're
not asking for the person to pay you
money per se but you're just trying to
be helpful
so these are five of my favorite ways to
continue a conversation with anyone with
native English speakers with English
learners with anyone in any situation so
