原则一：准备一些问题
有的放矢的去英语角，这点已经毋庸置疑了，除了准备一些材料之外，还要懂得准备问题，因为毕竟不是所有人都对我们准备的材料感兴趣，或者从另一个角度说，如果通过提问将话题引到我们准备的材料上，给人感觉非常自然，即使他不是很感兴趣，也会在早期比较配合我们的对话，也就给了我们锻炼的机会。否则的话，就会出现以下的情况：
A: Hi, nice to meet you.
B: Nice to see you too.
A: What shall we talk about?
B: I don’t know. It’s up to you.
A: I can talk about everything.
B: Me too.
A: So what shall we talk about?
B: Whatever you like. So what do you like to talk about?
A:…
两人无言，只有泪千行。但是如果我们有所准备或者考虑，情况可能就完全不一样。比如，我们所熟悉的材料是关于广告的，那么要设计一些广告方面的问题，一般三个就足够了，具体的对话可以是这样的：、
A: Hi, nice to meet you.
B: Nice to see you too.
A: What shall we talk about?
B: Well, I would like to ask you a few questions if I may.
A: Sure, go ahead.
B: Have you ever been annoyed by those commercials between TV series when you are desperate to know about what’s going on next?
A: Yes. It spoils the whole evening sometimes.
B: Have you ever been bothered by those junk commercial messages during midnight when you are just about to have a sweet dream?
A: Well, yes.
B: Have you ever been confused by those booming advertisements or commercials so that you can hardly decide which one to follow and which product to buy?
A: I agree.
B: Then it is high time that we should prohibit commercials during golden hours…. (然后加入自己所准备的话题和内容)
