Keys: BCDDC B When Americans meet with another person for the first time, they often start a kind of conversation called “small talk”. The most common topic of the small talk is weather. Other common topics are the rooms or buildings where they are standing, or their past experiences such as watching an interesting TV program, going to New York or eating at a good restaurant. There are some topics Americans usually avoid, because these topics are too personal. For example, you’d better not ask how much money they make. But what is a personal matter in one country may not be so in another. Americans may ask, “Where do you work? How many children do you have? How large is your house?” Americans don’t think such questions are too personal. They often ask such questions to learn what you’re interested in or to begin a conversion. Do remember that the questioner doesn’t mean to be impolite and he is just interested in you. ( ) 6. Americans like to talk about _______ most when they meet with each other for the first time.
