【课堂新坐标】（教师用书）2013-2014学年高中英语 Module 1 SmallTalk教案外研版选修6【美文阅读】无论在自己熟悉的场合还是在陌生的场合，和人闲聊是必不可少的一个交际方式。
那怎么样闲聊，闲聊的话题又该是什么，又仿佛是很多人感到棘手的问题。
本文就闲聊这个话题给了一些建议，我们一起看看吧！Making Small TalkThe ability to make small talk is highly valued. In fact, many English students are more interested in making effective small talk than knowing correct grammar structures. Small talk gets friendships started and “breaks the ice” before important business meetings and other events.Why is small talk difficult for some English learners?First of all, making small talk is not difficult only for English learners, but also for many native speakers of English. However, small talk can be especially difficult for some learners because making small talk means talking about almost anything and that means having a wide vocabulary that can cover most topics.How to improve small talk skills?Now that we understand the problem, the next step is to improve the situation. Here are some tips to improve small talk skills. Of course, making effective small talk means lots of practice, but keeping these tips in mind should improve overall conversational skills.·Do some researchSpend time on the Internet, reading magazines, or watching TV specials about the type of people you are going to meet. For example: If you are taking a class with students from other countries, take time after the first few days of class to do some research. They will appreciate your interest and your conversations will be much more interesting.·Use the Internet to gain specific vocabularyThis is related to doing research about other people. If you have a businessmeeting, or are meeting people who share a mon interest (a basketball team, a tour group interested in art，etc.), take advantage of the Internet to learn specific vocabulary. Almost all businesses and interest groups have glossaries(词汇表) on the Internet explaining the most important jargon(行话) related to their business or activity.·Find mon interestsOnce you have a subject that interests both of you, keep to it! You can do this in a number of ways: talking about travel, talking about the school or friend you have in mon, talking about the differences between your culture and the new culture.【诱思导学】1．In your opinion, what's small talk in China?________________________________________________________________________ 2．What topics do you often choose when you do small talk with others?________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 1.Small talk means an informal conversation between friends, classmates, workmates, acquaintances and so on. 2.Sports, exams, food, fashion, weather, music, friendship, mood and so on.Period ⅠPreviewing(教师用书独具)●教学目标初步掌握本课文中的词汇，浅层次理解课文，了解相关的背景知识。

Would you love to go to a party and talk confidently to every guest? Do you want to make more friends but lack the confidence to talk to people you don't know? And are you nervous about the idea of being at a social event in another country? Don't worry—we can help you!You needn't worry about situations like these if you have good social skills. And they are easy to learn. People with good social skills communicate well and know how to have a conversation. It helps if you do a little advance planning.Here are a few ideas to help you.Learn how to do small talkSmall talk is very important and prepares you for more serious conversations. Be prepared! Have some low-risk conversation openers ready. For example: ?think of a recent news story—not too serious, e.g. a story about a filmstar or sports starthink of things to tell people about your studiesthink of"safe" things you can ask people's opinions about—music, sport, films, etc.think of topics that you would avoid if you were talking to strangers—and avoid talking about them! That way, you don't damage yourconfidence!Develop your listening skillsListening is a skill which most people lack, but communication is a two-way process—it involves speaking AND listening. Always remember—you won'timpress people if you talk too much. Here are some ideas to make you a better listener:Do ...show that you are listening by using encouraging noises and gestures—smiling, nodding, saying "uh-huh" and "OK", etc.keep good eye contactuse positive body languageask for more information to show your interestDon't ...look at your watchyawnsighlook away from the person who's talking to youchange the subjectfinish other people's sentences for themAlways remember the words of Benjamin Disraeli, British Prime Minister in the nineteenth century: "Talk to a man about himself, and he will speak to you for hours!"Learn the rulesIf you go to a social occasion in another country, remember that social rules can be different. In some countries, for example, you have to arrive on time at a party; in other countries, you don't need to. In addition, you need to know how long you should stay, and when you have to leave. Some hosts expect flowers or a small gift, but in other places, you can take things, but you needn't if you don't want to. Remember also that in some countries, you mustn't take flowers of a certain colour, because they're unlucky.In most places, you don't have to take a gift to a party—but find out first!Answer the questions.1.According to the article, should people plan what they're going to say at parties?2.What do people think about those who talk too much?3.Describe two things you shouldn't do in a conversation.4.Why is it a good idea to nod and smile when the other person is talking?5.What does the quotation from Benjamin Disraeli tell you about people?Complete the sentences with the correct forms of the words in the box.sigh; yawn; nod; avoid; lack; smile1.personal questions.2.meet people from other countries.3.head in agreement.4.I think the man I spoke to was tired—5.answered me.6.shook my hand.Look at the phrases from the passage and answer the questions.1.If you can talk confidently, does this mean that you are worried about talking topeople?2.What kind of advance planning could you do before going to a party in a foreigncountry?3.Can you give an example of a low-risk conversation opener if you were talking toa friend of your parents', for example?4.What encouraging noises and gestures can you make when you're having aconversation in Chinese?5.What is an example of positive body language?6.Are social rules the same in every country?Discuss your answers to the questions.1.Which of the ideas in the reading passage do you think are useful in your society?2.Are there any conversation techniques that you think you will use in the future?3.Which of the listening skills are you good at?4.Which of the social skills do you need to improve?5.What are some of the usual small talk topics in China?FunctionRead the pairs of sentences and answer the questions.1.You must arrive on time at a party.2.You have to arrive on time at a party.3.You mustn't take yellow flowers for the host.4.You don't have to take yellow flowers for the host.5.You don't have to take a gift.6.You don't need to take a gift.1.

Discuss what kind of small talk you need as a salesperson.The Wrong Kind of Small TalkEsther Greenbaum was a saleswoman for a firm of fax machines and business supplies. But she was also the most outspoken human being in the world—well, Westchester County, at least. Her motto was "Every time I open my mouth, I put my foot in it."Esther Greenbaum's major shortcoming was that she had a complete absence of small talk. No, that's not quite true. She had small talk, but it was the wrong kind. In fact, she had never learnt the basic rules of social communication, and asa consequence, she made systematic mistakes every time she opened her mouth. It was no coincidence either that she wasn'ta very good saleswoman.One day during a meeting, Esther was introduced to an important customer, a mature woman."Nice to meet you," she said. "How old are you?" The customer looked awkward."Forty? Forty-five?" said Esther. "You look much older. And your friend ... she's older than you, but she looks much younger!"On another occasion, Esther teased a typist, "Hey! When's your baby due?"The typist went red and contradicted Esther. "Actually, I'm not pregnant," she said."Oh, sorry," said Esther without any apology. "Just putting on a little weight, huh?"Esther was never cautious about other people's feelings. One of her acquaintances, a salesman in the firm, was going through a very messy divorce and was very depressed. She tried to cheer him up."Forget her! She was a complete fool. No one liked her anyway."Much of the time, Esther said the first thing to come into her head. One day at work, a clerk came into the office with a new hairstyle."Nice haircut," said Esther.

"Hey, what a coincidence!" she said. "You're writing a book and I'm reading one!"The trouble with Esther was she said what she thought, anddidn't think about what she said. A young man was trying to be modest about his new job many miles away."I guess the company chose me so they'd get some peace in the office," he smiled."No, I guess they chose you to discourage you from spending your whole career with us," Esther replied sweetly.Once, Esther went to a brunch party to meet some old school friends on the anniversary of their graduation. She greeted the hostess."Do you remember that guy you were dating? What happened to him?" she asked. "You know, the ugly one."At that moment, a man came up and stood by her friend.

Module 1 Small Talk Section Ⅳ Other Parts of the Module[原文呈现] [读文清障]The Wrong Kind of SmallTalkEsther Greenbaum was a saleswoman①for a firm②of fax③machines and business supplies. But she was also the most outspoken④human being⑤in the world —well, Westchester County, at least⑥. Her motto⑦was “Every time⑧I open my mouth, I put my foot in it⑨.”Esther Greenbaum's major○10 shortcoming⑪ was that she had a complete absence⑫ of small talk⑬. No, that's not quite true. She had small talk, but it was the wrong kind. In fact ⑭， she had never learnt the basic rules of social communication, and as a consequence⑮，she made systematic⑯mistakes every time she opened her mouth.
