When I was a child, my parents always told me that I should never talk to strangers. This was part of a whole list of things I should never do ： Never accept food or candy from strangers，never get in a car with strangers，and so on.
But if we didn’t start a conversation with strangers, we，d never make new friends. We，d never get a job.①We may miss the joy that comes from talking with strangers. And the more people you know, the more chances you can find.
