10 分钟Hi there.
This is teacher Harry.
And welcome back to English Lessons with Harry, where I try to help you to get a better understanding of the English language so that you can improve your conversational language, your business, English, idioms, phrasal, verbs, everything connected with English.
Before I do that, please remember that you can listen to me on my podcast, and you can watch me on my YouTube video.
So what are we going to talk to you about today?
Well, today we're going to talk about small talk.
And small talk is a really important part of the english language.
And in particular, we're going to talk to you about small talk questions about food.
So small talk questions to do with food.
As I said, small talk is a really important part of the english language.
Some people dismiss it a little bit as chit chat.
But remember, when you use small talk, it helps you to get involved in conversations.
It's the easiest way for you to get involved.
So not only will it help you and ease you into the conversation, it will avoid those awkward silences that you might have in an elevator if you got stuck there, for example, or at the beginning of a meeting when you're waiting for somebody to arrive or one of your colleagues hasn't arrived.
So there'll be generally a lot of small talk in those situations.
It'll help you and present you as a little bit friendlier.
It will come make you a little bit more acceptable to your colleagues, particularly new colleagues, if you've moved jobs.
So, you know, you don't feel like the outsider, and you'll sound much more like a native speaker.
Okay, so that's the general overview of small talk and why it's important.
So, as I said to you, we're going to look specifically at small talk questions about food.
