本日は共通の糸を探る質問について。
先日の会話の着火剤、そして、下表にある最初の質問をきっかけとして、さらに関係を深めていくために、共通の糸を探る質問を使ってみる。
Today's topic is to ask a question that explore what you and me have in common.
To further deepen the relationship you developed using starters for conversation and first questions, you could try using a question that explore commonalities.
Fist, you clarify what commonality you are trying to find out.
Acquaintance ? Situation? Hobby?
Aquaintance is to find third person both of you know of. From here I could ask further how you get to know the acqaintance, how you like him, how often you contact him etc.
Common situation can make you both feel like you are on the same boat. It is a sense of alliance. And from here, I could explore what has brought you in this situation. This can deepen your personality and what kind of things you prefer.
Common hobby is easy. If I could find out something both of you like, conversation will spontaneously go on. Doing this, I could find your preference.
