Small Talk of Pretty Colleagues

Small talk is my favourite course I have taken. Small talk is an important aspect of socializing in English. There are some common phrases for beginning small talk. For example, how's it going?, how's work?, and what's new?, etc. It makes people appear friendly and makes a situation feel more comfortable. I have taken it with my English teacher. She taught me how to use small talk. Now, I can use it with my neighbor, at bus stops, and in line-ups, etc. But some topics don't occur in small talk. For example, politics, finances, and weight, etc. Small talk is more practical for me, and I am very happy for studying this. Thank you, teacher!
