talk can also lead to important business relationships, but it takes confidence, preparation and practice. Do it
well, and people will feel relaxed with you and enjoy your company. So how can you learn the art of small
talk?
Before you go to a business convention (正式会议) or other social situation, prepare three things that you
can talk about. They can be something in the news, a good movie or a popular sports team's recent win. Then
you have a topic to start with when you meet a new person. Also, don't wait for someone to approach you.
Look for someone who is standing alone, and start a conversation. Try a simple statement that you share
something in common:"The food looks delicious." Or There sure are a lot of people here." Then introduce
yourself, "Hi, I'm Helen. (Hold out your hand for a handshake.) I just moved here, and I love this weather."
After you start a conversation, keep it going. Instead of asking questions that can be answered with a yes
or no, ask open-ended questions like,"What do you think of the meeting?" It's time to move on once you've
made a good impression. Be bright (smart and cheerful), be brief (don't talk too long), and be gone (there are
more people to meet).
Use a goodbye line. To someone you enjoyed meeting at a gathering, say,"I really must be going, but it
was really nice to meet you. Here's my card." If they hand you their card, be sure to show interest in it. Read
it over briefly, and then put it in your pocket to show that it is valued.
Making small talk will open doors to meeting many interesting people. When you show an interest in others,
they become interested in talking to you. Listening carefully and remembering a fascinating (迷人的) bit of
information about each person will come in use if you meet again.

D. always makes people feel at home with strangers
B. introduce
C. like
D. teach
B. most people like talking about food in small talk
C. personal cards are necessary in small talk
D. people can get much useful information in small talk
about at the start of a conversation. In English-speaking countries people often make small talk about the
weather: "Nice day, isn't it?" "Terrible weather, isn't it?" But there is something special about small talk. It must
be about something that both people have the same opinion about. The purpose (目的) of small talk is to let both
people agree on something. This makes meeting people easier and more comfortable. People usually agree about
the weather, so it is a safe topic for small talk. But people often disagree about religion (宗教) or politics (政治),
so these are not suitable topics for small talk. The topics for small talk also depend on where the conversation is
taking place. At football matches, people make small talk about the game they are watching: "Great game, isn't
it?" At bus stops, people may comment about the transport system: "The bus service is terrible, isn't it?" Small
talk is an important part of conversation in any language. People in different countries start small talk in different
ways. This shows that when we learn a language, we should learn the vocabulary and the grammar as well as
the social behavior of the people who speak it.
