In most English-speaking countries， it is necessary and of great value to make small talk in certain situations. There are a few different reasons why people use small talk. The first， and most obvious， is to break an uncomfortable silence. You may not feel like chatting with anyone at a party， but if someone introduces you to another person who you do not know anything about， you have to start some small talk in order to show a polite interest in getting to know that person better.
There are certain “safe” topics that people usually make small talk about. The weather is probably the number one thing that people who do not know each other will discuss. Sometimes even friends and family members discuss the weather when they meet or commence （开始） a conversation. Another topic is current events. Sports news is a very common topic， especially if a local team or player is doing extremely well or badly. Entertainment news， such as a celebrity who is in town， is another good topic. If there is something that you and the other speakers have in common， that may also be acceptable to talk about.
There are also some subjects that are not considered acceptable when you make small talk. Discussing personal information such as salaries or a recent divorce is not done between people who do not know each other well. Compliments （赞美） on clothing or hair
