想創造交集，旅行是最好的話題之一。對方喜歡一個城市，你可以問旅行的細節;對方不喜歡某種旅行方式，你也可以問為什麼、哪兒是更好的選擇。聊天「接不下去」，一個可能是缺簡單的好問題，另一個是不熟悉時態，因此句子寫得出來、臨陣說不出來。請依照時態演練各種主題與句型，熟練之後，交錯運用在話題中。

過去式簡單開啟話題

A: Where did you go over the long weekend? 
A: 長周末你去了哪兒?
B: We went camping! That was my first time. 
B: 我們去露營了!這是我第一次露營。

A: How long did you stay in Rome? 
A: 你在那裡待了多久?
B: I stayed there for three days, and then headed to Venice. 
B: 待了三天，然後前往威尼斯。

A: How was your hotel?/ What was your hotel like? 
A: 你待的旅館如何?
B: It was alright. It was a bit small, but we weren’t in the hotel most of the time. 
B: 還可以。有一點小，但大多時間我們也不在旅館。

A: How did you get there? 
A: 你們怎麼去的?
B: Some of us drove; some took the train and then the shuttle bus. 
B: 有些人開車，有些人搭火車再轉接駁車。

A: What was your favourite food/ restaurant?
A: 你最喜歡(那裡的)什麼食物/餐廳?
B: A fusion restaurant called Zola. It was a bit pricey, but it was worth it.
B: 一間叫Zola的創意料理餐廳。有一點貴，但是值得的。

聊想法、偏好用現在式

聊夢想、可能性用條件式

聊到和目前事實相反，或是發生機率小、但仍有可能發生的事，可以這麼說:
If + 主詞 + 過去簡單式, 主詞 + would/could/might 動詞

If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you like to go?
