1. When two strangers meet, they often use the AAA. From the example in the passage we know that the first person asks the second person a question, the second person answers. This is the first A (answer). Then the conversation begins. In order to show that he is interested in the conversation, the second person can add ( the second A) something exact to the simple answer to the question. And then in order to continue their conversation, the second person can ask the partner the same question or quite another. This is the third A (ask). At first they may have difficulty, but they soon realize that the important thing is that they are saying something. By continuing with the AAA model, they continue the conversation to avoid an embarrassing silence. Maybe in the end they can find something they have in common. This is how the AAA model works.
