How might you open a conversation with the persons described in each of these situations? What ap- proaches would meet with favorable responses? What approaches would meet with unfavorable re-

1. On the first day of class, you and another student are the first to come into the classroom and are
seated in the room alone.
2. You've just started a new job in a large office where you're one of several computer operators. It
seems as if most of the other people know one another.

Of course, these are my opinionated responses so they might differ from what you're learning.

1. In a school environment, its more friendly and not really professional orientated. I would break the moment of silence and approach the student. Whilst doing that, having a eye contact and a smile on your face giving the impression that you're a friendly person. Some unfavorable responses would not having good eye contact and having a monotone voice.

2. As this is a professional environment, connections matter the most. Its always great to make relationships with your co-workers. Having a friendly attitude and open to communications with those people around you are very important. Introducing yourself to those co-workers with a great attitude and eager to work for the company always leave a great impression. Unfavorable responses are like the 1st response. Having a monotone voice, poor eye contact, and a terrible attitude.
