Тема: Светская беседа(Small talk.)

1. Translate the text

Small talk doesn’t mean unimportant talk. It’s a big talk. Business people always small talk before they have business talk. You can talk about hobbies, sport, family, the weekend, holiday and, of course, the weather.

The most common questions are: Nice weather, isn’t it? Do you like the weather? What is your favourite sport? How was your weekend(holiday)?

Rules of small talk.

a) Listen first and reply in the same manner as the person you are communicating with.

b) Try not to answer the questions with only yes or no. Add more small talk.

c) Watch the person you are communicating with.

d) Try not to use slang as it is not always understood by everyone.

e) Don’t bring anger into a conversation. To be effective you must be patient.

Reply- отвечать

Manner-манера

Anger-злость

Conversation-беседа

Patient-терпеливый

Do you agree with these rules?

Use forms of agreement(disagreement): I agree- Я согласен

I don’t agree-Я не согласен.

I think so too-Я тоже так думаю.

I don’t think so-Я так не думаю.
