17．
Have you ever experienced this moment？You are attending a party，but you know few people there．When others are happily talking，you feel like an outsider．In fact，many people have this experience．But there is a way to win people over-small talk．
Small talk is a light conversation for social occasions．It is the starting point of friendships．
In fact，small talk is not hard to make．"How are you doing？""The weather is nice，isn't it？""Nice to meet you．"These are all typical small talks．You have used these before，haven't you？This is usually how a conversation starts．
The next step is to introduce yourself．This helps you find things in common with others．A good introduction also helps to move the conversations forward，"I am in Class 2．My math teacher is Mr．Black．"The other person will probably say："Oh，really？He is also my math teacher．He is great fun…"See？It's easy，isn't it？"
Then，when you want to make talks more diverse（多樣的），you need to look for more topics．But you need to be careful about one thing：Don't talk too much about yourself，or people may feel that you are a little self-centered．
At last，when it's time to say goodbye，let the person know that you are leaving．You can say something like this，"I really must be going soon．It has been very nice talking with you．"If you like，you can exchange your telephone or QQ numbers with each other．
"A golden rule about having a successful small talk is that you don't have to be brilliant-just nice，"says Bernardo J．Carducci，director of the Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University Southeast，US．
