Small talk means the little things we talk about at the start of a conversation. In English-speaking countries people often make small talk about the weather. “Nice day, isnt it?” “Terrible weather, isnt it?” But there is something special about small talk. It must be about something which both people have the same opinion about. The purpose of small talk is to let both people agree on something. This makes meeting people easier and more comfortable. People usually agree about the weather, so it is a safe topic for small talk. But people often disagree about religion(宗教) or politics(政治) so these are not suitable topics for small talk. The topics for small talk also depend on where the conversation is taking place. At football matches, people make small talk about the game they are watching. “Great game, isnt it?” At bus-stops, people may comment on the transport system. “The bus service is terrible, isnt it?”61.

She raised money to build the Nightingale Home for Nurses in London. She also wrote a book on public health, which was printed in several countries.

Farmers found that animals waste is the best food for the soil, but chemical fertilizers (化肥) are also very useful.
