Some people are afraid of starting a casual conversation with a stranger because of a fear of not having anything interesting to say. Fear of rejection (拒绝) is also a      for keeping silent. Small talk in a conversation can          as a way of warming up and getting to        each other. Most people, no matter          successful they are at work, will find the process of          small talk uncomfortable, even pointless(无意义的).          , you will have a pretty small world          you refuse to let others in. Starting off with a casual comment or question will make others        , and even just greeting them with a simple “hello” will often be enough.

Once you have made the first        , there is no turning back. You need to keep things        before you can gracefully say goodbye. Think about what you would like to         with a new friend and that is what you can ask the other person about. Work, family, hobbies or interests are some            points of discussion. To keep the ball rolling, you can show that you are really          in what they are saying. Once you find common          of interest, things will definitely          off from there.

Small talk can        out to be a pleasant experience. The conversation          be brief and casual without turning into a long and boring discussion. Do not let yourself        the conversation. Stop worrying about how big of a fool you may appear to be. You may          find out later on that you have the “           ” of getting people to open up to you by engaging them in small talk.
