12．阅读理解
When I was a child, my parents always told me that I should never talk to strangers. This was part of a whole list of things I should never do: Never accept food or candy from strangers, never get in a car with strangers, and so on. They think strangers may do something harmful to us.
But if we didn't start a conversation with strangers, we'd never make new friends. We'd never get a job. We may miss the happiness that comes from talking with strangers. And the more people you know, the more chances you can get.
The following passage offers you some advice on how to break the ice.
Don't just look at your shoes. Go and say "Hi" to that new guy. It will be easier to break the ice if you know more about different cultures.
British: Beautiful day, isn't it?
The weather in Britain is changeable. So, it is one of the topics the British care most about. And there's a simple rule: Say "Yes" whether you agree with the person's idea on the weather or not. That's because the British start a conversation using the weather so that they can continue their talk.
French: Where did you go on holiday?
To talk with a French person, the safest way is to ask about his or her last holiday. French students enjoy a 10-to-15-day holiday every two months. French employees（雇员） get more than one and a half months of holidays every year.
American: So, where are you from?

What would you say when we told you that you could learn to speak a new language in only 7 days? Pretty unbelievable, right? But how could it be? To find out, we spoke to David－one of our brave Babbel learners－to see how the Babbel app successfully got him speaking French in just
one week.
How much time did you learn each day?
I didn't need to give my whole life over to learning French. Each Babbel lesson takes only 15 minutes, and I give myself the certain aim（目标） of finishing three Babbel lessons daily. This took 45 minutes each day.
How did the Babbel app help you learn so quickly?
The Babbel app has a course plan for beginners that taught me how to make sentences in French within the first few days. Then I was able to personalize（个性化）my learning by choosing lessons on eating, drinking, music, culture, travelling and so on. This made me quickly enlarge（扩大） my vocabulary!
This way of learning kept me really interested, and made sure I wasn't bored with grammar practice that we all remember from school!
"After 7 days I was able to introduce myself in French, talk about my hobbies and interests, and most importantly, communicating with a native（本国的）French speaker in a real talk and I could even play a joke or two!"
Would you introduce this app to others?
Certainly! Babbel has 14 languages to choose from, so if you're thinking about brushing up on your German for a business trip, or learning a bit of Japanese for next year's summer vacation, you'll be happy to hear that you only need an app, 7 days of learning to get you perfect!
