In all cultures 
it is important to make a good first impression 
A person's attitude 
and actions 
will determine 
how you feel about that person and whether or not you wish to talk with them again 
If a person makes a bad first impression by being rude 
then you would probably want to avoid talking with them in the future A good first impression however 
will make you want to talk to them more The introduction to this section 
mentions several pieces of advice that are helpful in making a good first impression 
in a conversation Remembering someone's name is very important and using their names in the first conversation helps you to remember their names later on Another good piece of advice 
is to find common ground That is to say find a topic you both are familiar with 
or you can relate to This helps connect you to the other person and makes conversation easier 
In the conversations with Fabian and Zhang Yunling 
they discuss things like where they are from 
what kind of music they like and a teacher they both know of 
Other topics that are good for opening conversations are movies weather travel work school and hobbies 
Topics that are not good for first conversations are politics 
religion controversial topics or information that is too personal 
like age salary and marital status
