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 weath “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 rr comfortable. People usually agree about the weather,so it is a safe topic for small talk. But people often disagre< about religion (宗教) or politics (政治) ,so these are not suitable topics for small talk. The topics for small talk a] depend on (取決于) where the conversation is taking place. At football matches,people make small talk about game they are watching: “Great game,isn’t it?” At bus stops,people may talk about the transport system: “The service is terrible,isn’t it?”
Greetings and small talk are an important part of conversations in any language. The way people greet each other and the things they talk about,however,may be different from one language to another. This shows that tl^ 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 about social behaviours of the people who speak it.
