聖誕、跨年倒數準備去哪慶祝!? 跑趴場合不免認識新朋友，若遇到外國人大家都是怎麼反應的呢? BC英協專業英語教師分享超實用5種跑趴用語，讓你不論是遇到新朋友或舊朋友，什麼話題都能侃侃而談，跟話題終結者說掰掰！
1. 碰到新朋友時，你可以說...
- Hi, how’s it going? I’m….
- Hi there. So how do you know (host of the party)?
2. 碰到很久沒見的朋友時，你可以說…
- Hey how’s it going? You’re (name) right?
- Hey, nice to see you again. So, what have you been up to?
3. 想開啟話題，你可以說…
- So, do you live nearby?
- Got any plans for Christmas/ New Year?
- Where are you originally from?
- So, what kind of work do you do?
- What do you get up to when you’re not working?
4. 聊的差不多、想結束時，你可以說…
- I’m just going to get a drink…
- I’m just going to go to the bathroom…
- I’m just going to look for (name)/ my friend ...
- …It was nice meeting you.
- …I’ll chat to you later.
- …we should meet sometime, do you use (Line/ FaceBook/ Whatsapp)?
5. 多瞭解語言文化，跟台式英語說掰掰…
1.
A: So, where are you from?
B: Haha, of course I’m from Taiwan!
假如有人問你where are you from? 別太驚訝，對方只是想表達禮貌或假設你不是本地人，若你笑著用of course 回應會有一點冒犯到對方喔！
2.
WOW! You speak Chinese, so amazing!!
如果碰上會講一點中文的外國人，這樣的反應可能太大了，聽起來會有點誇張喔！
