Small talk means pleasant conversation about things that aren’t very important. North Americans often make small talk with people such as business acquaintances, neighbors, or others that they don’t know very well. They even make small talk while waiting for a bus or standing in line, just to pass the time or be friendly. In North America, one very common topic for small talk with strangers is the weather. You can start a conversation just by saying, “It’s really hot today, isn’t it?”
