Module 1Small talk Period 1

Introduction and Cultural corner T: Ok, today we are going to learn the first module of the new book. It’s about small talk. Small talk? And who know what does it mean? Ok, I will give you its definition and then please guess.

“it refers to conversation about ordinary or unimportant matters, usually at a social event. For example: He has no small talk. It means that he is not good at talking to people about ordinary or unimportant things”. Ok, it’s your turn to answer my question. S: -------------- T: Now. I’ll list several topics on the blackboard and then you will classify them into two parts, namely the serious topics or the small talk?

(careers, cars, examinations, film stars, food, music, politics, sport, travel, weather)

Which of the topics do you like talking about with your friends?

Which of them do you talk about with your parents?

Which of them of you talk about with your teacher?

Which of them do you never talk about? S: --------------- T: After knowing the definition and the kinds of small talk, let’s come to its rule and I think that it can help you to do well in a social event. Ok, please turn to page 13 and study cultural corner. ---“The AAA”. Now, give you 3 minutes and then answer the questions above the title, and add another question---“what’s the

meaning of AAA?”

S: ---------------- Sugguested answers: A1. From the example in the passage we know the first person ask the second one in a question, and then the second answers. This is the first A= Answer. If the conversation continues, the second one will want to show his interest in the conversation, he may add something useful to it. This is the second A= Add. Therefore, if they continue the conversation, the second may ask some more questions connected to the conversation. This is the third A= Ask. Sometimes they may come into some difficulty, but if they continue with the AAA model, they can avoid some embarrassing silence. A2. I think it’s a good idea. No matter where you are, you are eager to communicate with others. Most of time a small talk is necessary, and more useful if with an AAA model in it. A3. AAA stands for answer, add and ask.

The email is very interesting. I hope you enjoy your trip to the embassy and that it’s a fun meeting the Chinese students and teachers. I don’t think you will have any problem talking to them. Chinese students are like students everywhere—they like sport, music, fashion, and travel--- so it will be easy for you to find topics that they are interested in. for many of them it will be their first time in England, so you could ask them about where they’ve been, what they have seen, what they liked and didn’t like, and what they found interesting. It’s also not a problem to ask about life at home in China. I’m sure they will be happy to tell you about what Chinese schools are like and how they spend their free time. Of course, it’s always a good idea to keep off topics like politics, as people have different opinions, and they may not agree with you.

I hope this information has been useful, and I wish you the best of luck at the Chinese Embassy—be sure to write and tell me all about it! Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
