Receiving guests

Please help me make the paragraph below sound natural. Thanks a lot.

Do you have any experience of receiving foreign guests? Do you find it embarrassing to stand the silence for a long time with a new acquaintance, especially someone who is a foreigner? Do you try hard to find an interesting topic to resolve the embarrassing situation? Here, I‘d like to provide you with my personal experiences as some tips on breaking the ice when meeting someone for the first time.
