When people meet strangers, they often have small talks. These talks are a good way for people to say hello. The talks cover many topics, such as weather, films, sports, TV shows or the latest news. You can talk about anything you like. 64. But remember it’s impolite to talk about private lives. So the talks about money, age and weight should be avoided. If you ask a European or an American“How old are you”,they may feel offended（被冒犯）and get angry.
Besides（而且）, it’s better to ask open-ended questions. If you ask, “Do you like our city ” People may say simply, “Yes”. If you ask, “What do you think of our city ” They will have more freedom in answering. This type of question also shows that you are interested in them. If you are interested in what they are saying, they will feel more comfortable talking with you. 65. If you aren’t, the conversation may come to an end. Also, it’s important to speak politely. We should often use the polite expressions such as “May I ask…” and “I wonder if…” insdead of the direct questions and answers.
