4.[1]People with many different relationships often use small talk.But the most common people who use small talk are those who don't know each other at all.It is also common for people who are only acquaintances (熟人),often called a"friend of a friend'',to use small talk.[2]There are certain"safe"topics that people usually make small talk about.The weather is probably the number one thing.Sometimes even friends and family members discuss the weather when they meet or start a conversation.Another topic that is generally safe is current events,such as sports news and entertainment news.If there is something that you and the other speaker have in common,that may also be acceptable to talk about.Negative comments about another person shouldn't be made:when you don't know a person well you cannot be sure who his friends are.
[3]People make small talk just about anywhere.Most often,small talk occurs in places where people are waiting for something.For example,you might chat with another person who is waiting for the bus to arrive.Some social events (such as a party) require small talk among guests who do not know each other very well.
[4]The most common time for small talk is the first time you meet someone.However,the next time you see each other you might just smile and say nothing.If someone is reading a book or writing a letter at the bus stop it is not appropriate to start a conversation,either.
[5]There are different reasons why people use small talk.The first is to break an uncomfortable silence.Another reason,however,is simply to kill time.That is why it is so common to make small talk when people are waiting for something.
