Me and Arinda were at the cinema. We were just sitting in the coffee and talking. Suddenly came a man with a camera. He asked us, could he take a picture of us. He explaned that he is a photographer and there was a good background and it would be a nice picture. So we let him take a picture.
When the pictures were done, we used the chance to do our English task. We explaned him why do we needed it. He agreed to talk about himself. He said that, his name was Phillip and he was from France. We asked why was he in Estonia? He answered that, he was here because of his work. The next question was: " With whom are you here with"? He told simply, that it was just him. Then we were intrested what foreign people think about Estonia. He said that, it was a beautiful country especially Old Town, the weather is often cold and rainy, and the people in Estonia are friendly. We wanted to know is he was planning to come back. He told us that, will see what the future brings.
We learned how to talk with forgein people. I think that it was easy beacause, we didn't start the converstation. But if we supposed to start it, then we would failed. It would be a lot more difficult for us to start it cause we don't know how to start a converstation with strange people. The most intresting thing was that we interviewed a frenchman..
It is great to hear of your experience of talking to Phillip! :)
