The speakers may have difficulty at first, but they soon realise that the important thing is that they are saying something. By continuing with the AAA model, the conversation continues. Because the thing they both want to avoid is an embarrassing silence.
The conversation can continue in this way for a long time. However, something can happen that completely changes the atmosphere.
B: Why do you live in Bristol?
A: I'm studying there. History. Are you a student?
Yes. And I know some people who are studying at Bristol. Do you know a B: girl called Helen Brown?
A: Helen Brown!! Yes! She's one of my best friends! How do you know her? B: She's my cousin.
At this point, the AAA model stops. Because they used this very useful social technique, they found something they have in common at last.
