(2019·安徽省合肥市調研)What is small talk? It means that the conversation is about some little things, which are not important. You can make small talk when waiting in line in the supermarket, or while waiting for a bus. Though the topics in small talk are not important, small talk itself is very important. It makes other people feel relaxed; it breaks the silence; it shows friendliness and good manners, and it makes time pass pleasantly.

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. You  could  talk  about weather, an interesting story in the news or on television, a sports event, a play or a movie, or you could ask parents about their new baby.

What shouldn't you talk about? You should try not to talk about politics or  religion (宗教),  also,  you should try not to talk too long on a subject or ask questions that are too personal. Give other people a chance to speak and listen to what they say. If you two have different opinions on a topic, change it.
