I like your t-shirt. It suits you so much! Did you buy it because of an attractive color?
I’ve notices also your bracelets. Tell more about them, please.

Your watch is rare, we don’t see this all the time!
Is it a present? Why do you use this kind of watch? Are you passionate for this?
And by the way your tee-shirt has colors that suit you well! see you soon ;)

Hi James,
Thanks for your tips on small talk.
I like your beautiful beaded bracelet and pocket watch. I’m wondering if it’s just for decoration or if there is something meaningful?

Hello Mr.James. I’m new to this website and watched some videos on your site. They were awesome and made me happy. however, I like to start with u a small talk…. So, Mr James where do live? Your look so smart…I think u have a beautiful smile and an attractive talking style. But I don’t like your T-shirt because it has a pale color. But don’t be angry with me because I want to practice small talk with people. Because I don’t have anyone to talk to in English. However, your lesson is the best. Thank u, Mr. James.
