know more about small talk

Task 1: Talk about small talk

Task 2: Ask the students to answer the questions in Activity 2 T: Now I think you have understood what small talk means. Small talk is a kind of informal conversation about unimportant topics at social occasions. So it is not about serious subjects. Now let’s do Activity 2. In this Activity ten topics are given. Some of them are serious and some are suitable for small talk. Now prepare and then answer the following questions.

S1: I think careers, examinations, politics are serious topics and the others can be small talk. T: That’s right. When people make small talk in different occasions, they can choose many topics including some of the given topics. In English-speaking countries people usually agree about the weather, so it is a safe topic for small talk. Sports news is a very common topic, too. Entertainment news, such as a celebrity who is in town, is another good topic. But personal affairs such as salaries or a recent divorce, religion or politics are not suitable topics for small talk in English. So when you are talking to a foreigner, you should choose proper topics. Or you may cause discomfort or embarrassment. Next question. S2: We often talk about film stars and sports stars because my friends and I are fond of seeing films and sports. For example, I like watching NBA games, especially games in which Yao Ming plays. After the games my friends and I will be together talking about the games and Yao’s performance. T: I also like NBA games and Yao Ming. He is considered to be a superstar. Thank you. OK. Next question? S3: You know my parents are very strict with me in my studies. So I cannot but talk about my studies and examinations with my parents. Even though I like music very much, I cannot talk about it with them. Every time I talk about music with them, they will scold me and tell me to spend time on my studies. T: I can understand you and your parents. But it is lucky that you can talk about it with your classmates or friends. You’ll soon have such a chance to talk about music. Till then, OK?

S3: Thanks. Sept 3
