Eliz: You know, some people think that all Americans like to talk about their personal lives.
Gary: Yes, people do think that.
But it really depends on the person.
Some Americans don’t like discussing their personal lives in a business situation.
Eliz: So we have to be careful to avoid stereotypes.
Gary: Yes, we do. One approach is to let the other person make the first move.
Eliz: So you should let the other person begin talking about personal issues first?
Gary: Yes. And then if you want, you can talk about your personal life also.
It’s important to watch the other person’s reaction.
Eliz: Thank you, Gary.
Let’s take a short break.
