Question

Teenagers usually experience changes on all levels --- physical and emotional (感情的). Some may feel uncomfortable when in new situations, such as talking to strangers. But with small talk, you may fit into the new environment.

Small talk is a light conversation for social occasions (社交場合). it usually doesn’t have much detail(細節(jié)), it is the starting point for friendships

Children can use small talk to a conversation in many different ways.

Asking open questions is one of the most useful ways. For example, you are at someone’s birthday party, but you know people. How do you break the ice? You can start a conversation with “This is a great party. How do you know the host?” This way is also in many other situations, such as school clubs or picnics.

Sometimes, simply an works, especially to help find common ground(共同點) with others. For example, when going into a new environment, you can introduce yourself by saying “I am in Class 2. My teacher is Mr Black.” The other person may say, “Oh, really? He is also my math teacher. He is very strict ...” See? A good conversation begins.

The third way is to find your strong points and it to others. This is useful when you want to a group. For example, you see boys playing soccer on the school playground. Just say, “Do you need more players? I am a very good goalkeeper(守門員).”

So next time, don’t be when meeting strangers. Just try small talk. A stranger may become your next friend.
