SMALL TALK

SMALL TALK

In most English-speaking countries, it is normal and necessary to make "small talk" in certain situations. Small talk is a casual form of conversation that "breaks the ice" or fills an awkward silence between people. Even though you may feel shy using your second language, it is sometimes considered rude to say nothing. Just as there are certain times when small talk is appropriate, there are also certain topics that people often discuss during these moments.
Read through the Who, What, Where, When, Why? page to gain a better understanding of small talk. The hardest part about making small talk is knowing how to start a conversation. Review the conversation starters and practise them with a friend. Finally, take the time to see how much you have learned about small talk by taking the Small Talk Quiz. And remember, in an English-speaking environment it is often better to make a few mistakes than to say nothing at all!

Africa

There are 53 countries in Africa and about 900 million people. In the north, there are deserts and in the middle, where the equator is, it is tropical. In the south, there are big plains and a

desert called the Kalahari.

Africa is very famous for wild animals. There are very big herbivores such as giraffes, elephants

and hippos and big carnivores like lions and crocodiles. There are many national parks which

are very popular with tourists.

There are a lot of natural resources in Africa including oil and minerals. Unfortunately, Africa is

also very poor. Today, 380 million Africans are poor. Why?

There are one thousand languages or more in Africa so African culture is very rich. African

music is very varied. One famous musician is Ali Farke Touré from Mali. African dancing is

wonderful and the clothes are beautiful and colourful.

Education and health care is very important for the future of Africa.
