Small talk is considered an informal type of conversation that does not cover any core topics
of the conversation. People often use this form of dialogue to facilitate in narrating other one to the
main subject they want to discuss. Although the topics of small talk are generally contemplated
unimportant, there are still five different subjects listed as the most favorable approach. Those
subjects including in weather, arts and entertainment, sports, family and the last one is food. The
generality and popularity make these topics the easiest matters to talk about and not require the
speakers to prepare any intensive knowledge to comprehend with each other. On the other hand,
there are also many other topics that widely considered as the unsuitable ways to begin a small talk.
The subjects about politics and religion, sex and death are among the negative list. These matters are
classed as personal and sensitive in the majority of people so that we should evade them in small talk
at all times.

Dear Joao.
My name is Tom Jordan, an old friend of Judy Milligan, who was once your colleague in Dubai a
few years ago. I’m a business journalist and currently working on a research on how various
industries are coping with the current economic climate. Judy said that you may provide me with
some facts and figures regarding my research subject. If you can help me access to those database, I
will be able to make a documentary film for TV and give an overview about Brazil’s petroleum
industry widely to the broadcast audience. Please reply back to this e-mail address if you are happy
with my project. If so we can meet in person at your office in Sao Paolo next month to discuss
thoroughly about the matter.
Sincerely,
Tom Jordan
