You may need to make small talk when waiting in line at the train station, at the bus stop,or at an airport. You can also make small talk in a shop, in a restaurant, at a party, in a park or in other places. It’s a good idea to smile and have a talk with the person next to you.
Sample writing
You shouldn’t talk about private subjects because you are not close friends. If you want to talk with him or her, you could talk about some safe subjects such as weather, sports, TV shows or movies and so on. Small talk is easy if you can keep the conversation light and humorous.
