A small talk is a good way (kill) time and make friends. When you are in other (country), do you know how to have small talks with people?
In England, best topic(话题) is the weather. It's also a safe(安全的) topic. So you can start a small talk by saying "It's a fine day, isn't it?"
English people love their pets, so it's also nice to start with "A (love) dog!", "What's its name?" American people like to talk about sports like soccer and basketball. They also talk clothes like "It's a nice shirt. Where did you buy it?" The weather is a safe talk in America, too.
Of course, there (be) also a lot of topics to avoid(避免) during small talks. Don't ask people, "How old are you?" And never (ask), "How much money do you make? Where are you (work) now?" It makes people feel sad. Don't ask the people you first meet if they have a girlfriend or boyfriend.
At last, please remember it's also important to talk with others (polite).
