没有人会对微笑say no，不管是认识的同事、同学、朋友，还是初见的陌生面孔，热情地打招呼是开启谈话的第一步。你可以这样说：

        - Hi, Jenny, it's good to see you.  认识的人

        - Hi, my name is Sara, what's your name?  第一次见的人。在对方回答后，重复一遍对方的名字会留下更好的印象哦。

 

没有人不喜欢赞美，一句简单的赞美既可以打破尴尬，又可以让对方开心，一举两得。

        - I like your shoes, where did you get them? 

        - Your hair always looks great, what hair products do you use?

如果只是擦肩而过，赞美就好。如果真的要需要停下来聊天，赞美以后抛出问题，人们总是乐于谈论自己的~

天气这个话题最无聊却又最保险，但巧妙地从天气延伸到别的话题，会让你们的谈话更丰富。

        - It's getting warm, any plans for the weekend?

        - It's snowing all day. What do you usually do on snowy days? I feel so bored.

 

在party上认识的新朋友，可以聊: this cocktail is really fancy, what's in it? 

然后就可以你一言我一语地认真讨论了，中间再夹杂着讨论一下各自最爱的cocktail以及做法，甚至聊一聊自己的醉酒经历，适当地爆一下自己的糗事可以迅速拉近距离。在朋友家做客，可以聊: the food is so yummy, can you give me the recipe? 这样既赞美了对方，又提供了后续的话题。

 
4.娱乐

无论是电视节目、体育赛事、音乐演出，还是各种主题公园、户外活动，都可以成为很好的谈话素材。在不太了解对方的情况下，谈论那些火遍全球的项目就最保险了。

        - Did you watch the Game of Thrones? The red wedding is so horrible!

        - Did you watch the Oscars last week? I can’t believe Leonardo DiCaprio finally won one!   

        - I went to the Disneyland last week, it was so much fun!

   
5.工作

工作的间隙也需要一些small talk与同事联络感情，你可以这样说：

      - Hi Jack. How are things going over at the IT department today?

      - What a busy day. This is the first time I’ve gotten up from my seat all day! Are you busy too?

      - The day is almost over! Do you have any interesting plans for the evening?
