These days，cars arc designed using computers．Let’s look at how a new car is created．

    First，several   1   talk about the new car and any good ideas that they have．Then they sit down at their computers and   2   many sketches．The best two or three drawings are chosen and then more detailed drawings of   3   are developed on the computer．You can change the size，shape or colour of any part on the computer to see   4   the car would look and then you can choose the best design．

    Both the inside and the outside of the car have to be designed．Part of the inside of the car is 5  so that the designers can sit in it．They can feel if there is enough  6  inside and if they can reach  7  ．Then some cars are built-there are more than 15，000 parts of a car to8  ．

    When everything is known to be  9   ，the cars are made in the factory．Again，computers are used to make sure that all the parts are   10  as they are needed．The factory

usually stays open all through the night so that the car production never stops．

In most languages, a greeting is usually followed by “small talk”. Small talk means the little things we 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 which both people have the same opinion about. The purpose 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 or politics so these are not suitable topics for small talk in English. 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?”

Greetings and small talk are an important part of conversation in any language. The way people great each and the things they talk about, however, may be different from one language to another. This shows that there is much more to learn when we learn a language than just the vocabulary and the grammar of the language. We also have to learn the social behavior of the people who speak it.
