Small talk is a good way to kill time and make friends. If you travel to other countries, do you know what to say to small talk with local people?
In Britain the best topic is the weather. British changes quite often. It’s a safe topic. You can start small talk simply by saying “It’s a lovely day today, isn’t it?”the weather, it’s good to talk about gardens with English people. For example, you could say, “Those roses look really beautiful, ?” English people love their pets. So it’s also nice to begin with “What a lovely ! What’s its name?”
In America, people like to talk about sports, Amecican football and basketball. They also talk about clothes by saying “It’s a nice shirt! Where did you get it?” The weather is a topic there, too.
Of course, you should avoid a lot of topics during small talk in western countries. Don’t ask people “How old are you?”. Age is usually secret , for women. ask “How much money do you make?” It makes people uncomfortable. Don’t ask strangers whether they have a girlfriend boyfriend.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to tell you about our experience on Train 2315 the other day. It is a traingoes from Winston to Stenberg.
This train was never late before, but last Thursday it did not get to the stationtime and my friends and I had to wait for nearly fifty minutes. The train was supposed to
the station at 9:10 am but it was 10:30 am when it set off in the end. Officials at the station neither said sorry to us
gave us any reason for the delay(延误). On our way to Stenberg it stopped for another thirty minutes and still nobody told
why.
What’s more,service on the train was also very poor. The trip took more than five hours. However, we could buy
but some soft drinks on the train. Worst of all, something was
with the air conditioning(空调) and the temperature reached 38℃ before we arrived in Stenberg.
All theon the train were so angry that they asked me to write this letter to your company. We hope you can give us some explanations and improve your work later.
We are looking forward tofrom you.
Yours,
John Armstrong

Once I went shopping on my first visit to Macao. Coming from cold and cloudy England, I enjoyed the sun and dressed in a T-shirt and a skirt. Not having much to enjoy the sun in England, my legs were very white. In England this is not a fashionable look at all . Most women spend every sunny day out trying to get darker skin. The darker the skin, the better the look. I have tried to get darker but works for me!
As I one shop, the two shop assistants kept looking at my legs the whole time , talking quietly to each other in Chinese. I began to feel uncomfortable and asked my friend we could leave. After we left the shop, she asked me what was wrong. I complained about the shop assistants being very impolite . They be talking about my white skin. My friend laughed. “They weren’t laughing at you. They were saying how nice your legs are. Many Chinese women want to have white skin like yours. , there are many beauty products in the shops to make skin whiter and a lot of money is spent on them.”
It just shows that we are never happy with what we have. The grass is greener on the other side. If the women of the West and East the same way, Western women wouldn’t spend so much money on cream that makes skin darker and women from the wouldn’t need to use cream that makes skin whiter.
