Imagine that you walk into the office tea room to get a cup of coffee, but find your colleague making tea. You don't know what to say, and you may not be in the mood to chat, but it seems impolite to say nothing. So a reluctant and slightly awkward small talk is inevitable.
But small talk doesn't always have to be like this. When you master some convenient and easy-to-use small talk topics and expressions, small talk will be a natural thing, and there will be no more anxiety or awkward silence.
