    In English, one of the best ways of initiating and maintaining a conversation is


    for at least one of the speakers to ask the other question. Read the dialogue
    again, change it so that it is not one-sided by adding a question or a comment
    after Mai’s short answers. Write in Rick’s responses to Mai’s questions.

    Rick: Hello. Where are you from?

    Mai: From Hanoi, Vietnam. Hanoi has many unique landscapes and traditional
     beauty such as Uncle Ho’s Mausoleum, Turtle Tower.
    Tower. I can say that it is the
    capital of Vietnam. So how about you? Where are you from?

     Non-verbal communication plays an important role in Vietnamese society,

    misunderstand each other. In Vietnam, locals prefer to use non-verbal language
    rather than verbal language. People tend to hide their feelings as they are quite
    reserved, so don’t consider this as an unfriendly attitude. Vietnamese usually

    avoiding direct eye contact. A gentle, not prolonged handshake is commonly used
    when men greet one another. Women sometimes welcome one another with a
    handshake, but a slight nod of acknowledgment will often suffice. Besides, a sweet
    smile is another nonverbal symbol used to convey an apology for a minor offense
