Language functions Small Talk
After greetings and introductions, people usually talk about topics of general interest, such as the weather, local events, etc. This is called small talk. These topics can be discussed easily without knowing the other person well. They are very good conversation starters. Some good things to talk about with your new friend include the following: 1. The country you or the other person is from (What is it like? How does it compare to other countries?).
2. What the other person is studying or has studies in college (What are you studying in college? What is your favourite subject? What do you want to do after you graduate?)
3. The work that the other person does (What kind of work do you do? Do you like it? What do you enjoy about it? How did you decide to go into teaching, programming, painting, electronics, etc.?)
4. The country you are visiting. 5. Your family. 6. Current events. 7. The weather.
Topics may vary according to the situation, the people you are with. There are, however, some subjects that you should not talk about, especially with someone you don't know well. These include the following:
How much money you have or make.
How much someone paid for something.
Sexual subjects.
Class, status or racial issues.
A person's age.
A person's weight.
These are very sensitive subjects because people take them very personally. Even though you do not mean to offend them, they may be upset if you ask questions about these subjects.
