　　Small talk is a good way to kill time and make friends．If you 　　1　　 to other countries,do you know what to say to start small talk with local people?

　　In Britain,the best topic is the weather．British 　　2　　 changes quite often．It's also a safe topic．You can start small talk simply by saying“It's a lovely day today,isn't it?”

　　Besides the weather,it's good to talk about gardens 　　3　　 English people．For example,you could say,“Those roses look really beautiful,　　4　　?”English people lore their pets．So it's also nice to begin with“What a lovely 　　5　　!What is its name?”

　　In America,people like to talk about sports,　　6　　 American football and basketball．They also talk about clothes by saying“It's a nice shirt!Where did you get it?”The weather is a 　　7　　 topic there,too．

　　Don't ask people“How old ale you?”Age is usually a 　　8　　,especially for women．　　9　　 ask“How much money do you make?”It makes people uncomfortable．Don't ask strangers whether they have a girlfriend 　　10　　 a boyfriend．Politics(政治)or religion(宗教)is not a good topic for two people who have just met,either．
