4. What sports do you like to take part in as well as watch? This question is useful because you react quite differently to sports as a participant rather than simply a spectator. If talking about pets: 1. Have you ever entered a pet show? This is useful if the person you are talking to seems particularly proud of their dog, cat, etc. You can then goon to chat about the experience of participating in these shows or preparing the pet for it. It may even lead to some humorous stories along the way. 2. Why did you choose that particular breed? People will love the chance to reveal the wonders of their particular chosen breed of pet. 3. Was your pet easy to train? Again, this can lead to funny stories if you find that they have trained their pet in someway it could be as simple as house-training; it doesn't have to involve elaborate circus tricks. If talking about fashion: 1. Have you got a favorite perfume that you tend to buy?
