第一步，在不认识的情况下，贸然前去说话给人的感觉肯定不礼貌，我们如何自然的开始聊天呢?为了避免尴尬，我们可以在很自然地问一些日常问题，不一定真的需要确切的回答，目的就是开始聊天，例如：
Excuse me, is this seat taken?
打扰下，请问这个位置有人吗?
Can I ask your opinion about something?
能问问您关于……的意见吗?
Can you help me find this book?
你能帮我找到这本书吗?
I lost my number, can I have yours?
我把我的电话号码弄丢了，你可以把你的告诉我吗?
Are we in the same class by any chance? Professor Smith right?
我们是不是选同一门课，是不是史密斯教授的课?
Could you tell me where the nearest subway is?
请问最近的地铁在哪里?
Don’t you find this place cool?
你不觉得这个地方很酷吗?
Hi, do you mind taking a picture for me?

Hi, man. I ordered a sandwich. It's quite a lot. You wanna share?
我点了三明治，但实在太大了我吃不下，你要不要一起用?
又或者，直接表达你对这个人的兴趣：
How can I get in touch with you?
我怎么能联系到你?
Can I get your WeChat? I want to hang out sometime.

You look like someone I know. Haven't we met before?
你跟我一个朋友长得好象。我们之前见过吧?
I just thought you should know that you have a really nice smile. I bet you hear that a lot, huh?
我觉得应该告诉你，你的笑容真是太美了。你肯定听过很多人夸你吧！
