①Small talk refers to an informal (非正式的), polite conversation that often focuses on unimportant topics. Small talk topics are good conversation starters between people who don't know each other well. You should know what things to talk about and what to avoid.
②If you are looking for some good conversation starters, here are a few topics to consider.
③The weather is a good topic that everyone can discuss. Practice making small talk about the weather the next time you find yourself in the middle of a silence. It may open up other topics.
④People like to talk about their hobbies and are likely to be interested in yours. If you don't have any hobbies, consider trying something new. Not only will you have something to talk about, but having a hobby will give you a chance to meet others with similar interests.
⑤People like to hear about vacations. If you travel, be ready to answer questions and give your opinions about the places you have visited. Ask others about their favorite spots and what they recommend. Many people like to help others and will be happy to share their experiences.
⑥Once you know a few good conversation starters, it's also helpful to recognize what type of small talk topics you're better off avoiding.
⑦The problem with talking about polities is that you never know who in the crowd may have strong opinions. Stay away from this topic if you don't want to risk ending up in the middle of a heated conversation.
③Death is a heavy topic that should be avoided during small talk. When you are in the company of strangers, do not bring up emotional (情感的) topics.
⑨In addition, avoid questions related to appearance. Do not ask anyone if they have lost weight. You never know the reason for weight gain or loss and, as a result, you could be left in an uncomfortable situation.
