You can do some simple exercises about the video here. (from Real English - Lesson 6)

I'm Dale, your teacher. I wonder what questions you are going to ask me?

You can find out a little bit about me here :-)

When you meet someone for the first time what questions are OK to ask?
What things are OK to talk about? Which things are not OK to talk about?

Exercise 1

Decide if these questions and comments are POLITE (OK) ✓or IMPOLITE ✘(not OK) when you talk to someone for the first time ...
  • What do you do for a living?
  • Why don't you have any children?
  • Tell me a little about yourself
  • Whereabouts do you live?
  • What's your street and house number?

  • You're really good looking, you know.
