You have to set yourself a goal when you go to a social gathering or when you start a
conversation. What do you want to get out of this conversation? This is your intention.
2. Approach
This is your body language when you start the conversation. You have to make sure your
body and entire attitude express openness (e.g. sitting upright, smile), because first
impressions are not based on what we say but on what other people see.
3. Opener
This is the way you start your conversation. The best opener for a good conversation is
“Hello, how are you?”

The modal auxiliaries (or modals) are can, could, may, might, shall, should, will, would, and
ought to. Modals do not express pure facts. They express the speaker’s or listener’s opinion,
attitude or judgement at the moment of speaking. They express, for example, possibility,
