[Ailist] Ice Breaker

[Richard Seel]

Dear Mark,

>I like the "good thing in your life" question. Another possibility would be
>simply to talk about something they're proudest of.

There may be a cultural issue here. British people usually find it 
difficult to talk about their own achievements. Your suggestion may work 
well in the US but I suspect that it would evoke embarrassment here!

It is true that in the 'one good thing' exercise people occasionally 
talk of achievements ("I've just passed this exam...") but the majority 
of things are about circumstances ("We're going on holiday on 
Saturday...") or about other people ("I've just become a 
grandmother...")


Best wishes,



Richard.
