 听材料，回答问题。 Hello everyone. Today I'm going to talk about small talk. That is, short conversations people often have with strangers they meet.<br />Such exchanges occur at bus stops, on buses, while waiting in line, almost anywhere that strangers gather close together.<br />As a matter of fact, these short conversations are a good way for people to say hello and express friendliness.<br />Such conversations usually cover a wide range of topics.<br />The topics may include weather, customer service, movies, TV shows, local sports, or latest news.<br />But you should always keep it in your mind that private questions about salaries, family life, religious beliefs and politics should be avoided during these conversations.<br />Besides, it's better to ask open-ended questions.<br />If you ask visitors, do you like our city? They may say simply, yes.<br />On the other hand, if you ask, what do you think of our city? They will have more freedom in answering.<br />This type of question also shows that you are interested in them.<br />If you appear interested in what people are saying, they feel more comfortable talking with you.<br />Hello everyone.
