How does the AAA model work?2. Is the AAA model a good idea while making small talk with someone you dont know
45、in China?Suggested answers: The speakers answer the question, add a piece of information, and then ask a question.1. When two strangers meet, they often use the AAA. From the example in the passage we know that the first person asks the second person a question, the second person answers. This is th
46、e first A (answer). Then the conversation begins. In order to show that he is interested in the conversation, the second person can add ( the second A) something exact to the simple answer to the question. And then in order to continue their conversation, the second person can ask the partner the sa
47、me question or quite another. This is the third A (ask). At first they may have difficulty, but they soon realize that the important thing is that they are saying something. By continuing with the AAA model, they continue the conversation to avoid an embarrassing silence. Maybe in the end they can f
48、ind something they have in common. This is how the AAA model works.2. Of course. I think in whichever countries you are, people are eager to communicate with others. Most of the time a small talk is necessary. The AAA model is very useful in the conversation. There is no exception in China. When we
49、meet someone we dont know, we often start the conversation by asking a question, for example, where do you live? Or where is your hometown? In this way the conversation starts.Answers to questions in Activity 2No they arent. In Conversation 1 “Been here before? indicates they are strangers. The seco
