In most languages, people often start small talk after a greeting. 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
weather: "Nice day, isn't it?" "Terrible weather, isn't it?" But there is something special about small talk. It must
be about something that both people have the same opinion about. The purpose (目的) of small talk is to let both
people agree on something. This makes meeting people easier and more comfortable. People usually agree about
the weather, so it is a safe topic for small talk. But people often disagree about religion (宗教) or politics (政治),
so these are not suitable topics for small talk. The topics for small talk also depend on where the conversation is
taking place. At football matches, people make small talk about the game they are watching: "Great game, isn't
it?" At bus stops, people may comment about the transport system: "The bus service is terrible, isn't it?" Small
talk is an important part of conversation in any language. People in different countries start small talk in different
ways. This shows that when we learn a language, we should learn the vocabulary and the grammar as well as
the social behavior of the people who speak it.
