In Britain the best topic is the weather. British 　 　 　 changes quite often. It’s a safe topic. You can start small talk simply by saying “It’s a lovely day today, isn’t it?”　 　 　 the weather, it’s good to talk about gardens with English people. For example, you could say, “Those roses look really beautiful, 　 　 　 ?” English people love their pets. So it’s also nice to begin with “What a lovely 　 　 　 ! What’s its name?”

In America, people like to talk about sports, 　 　 　 Amecican football and basketball. They also talk about clothes by saying “It’s a nice shirt! Where did you get it?” The weather is a 　 　 　 topic there, too.

Age is usually secret , 　 　 　 for women. 　 　 　 ask “How much money do you make?” It makes people uncomfortable. Don’t ask strangers whether they have a girlfriend 　 　 　　 boyfriend.

Making friends is a skill. Like most skills, it 　　 　 　　 patience（耐心）. If you want to meet people and make friends, you must be willing to take some action. You must first go where there are people. You won't make friends staying home 　 　 　　 .
