What is small talk? It means that the conversation is about some little things, which are not important. You can make a small talk while waiting in line at the store, or waiting for the bus or the elevator. Though the topics in small talk are not important, small talk itself is very important. It makes people relaxed, it breaks the silence, it shows friendliness(友谊) and good manners(行为), and it makes the time quickly.
In small talk, it is important to remember to smile and keep the conversation relaxed. It’s also good to show a sense of humor(幽默). You can talk about the weather, an interesting story in the news or on TV, a sports event, a play or a movie, or you can ask those parents about their new babies.
What shouldn’t you talk about? Well, you shouldn’t talk about politics(政治) or religion(宗教). Also, you should not talk too long on a topic(话题) or ask questions that are too personal. Give other people a chance to speak and listen to what they say.

With July come examinations. When these exams finish, the summer holidays begin. Boys and girls will have two months to rest.
The summer holidays are the best part of the year for most children. The weather is usually good, so that they can spend most of their time in swimming, camping or traveling with their parents.
Of course, the most enjoyable place is the seaside. Some children are lucky enough to live near the sea. They enjoy exceptional advantages. As for those who live far from the sea, their parents will also take them to the seaside for the holidays, for they know that a week or two at a seaside town during the summer holidays is their children's eager hope. In England not only the rich but also factory workers or bus drivers can take their children to seaside for their holidays. In fact, during August Holiday most towns are empty.
Why do children like spending their summer holidays at seaside? It is because they like the sand, the sun, the cool wind and the salt water there more than anything else. Of course,there are lots of new things to see, nice things to eat, and exciting things to do, but it is the feelings of sand under one's feet, of cool wind and salt water on one's skin, and of the warm sun on one's back that make the seaside what it is.
