Small talk is stressful for even the most easy-going people. Below, small-talk expertsshare their best advice on developing good chatting skills.
Ask questions.
The key to good small talk is asking the other person a lot of questions. But avoid rapid-fire questions. Be sure to express your own feelings in response to what they share.
Avoid conversation starters like “How have you been?”
You could not ask a more awkward question 
A better way to produce meaningful conversation is to add “What is new in your life since the last time I saw you?
Avoid one-word answers.
When someone asks you a question, give them something to talk about with you, not a word or two. Fine said, if someone asks you, "How was your summer?", you can answer, for instance. My summer was great. I'm excited about my vegetable garden. That will give the person something else to ask you about.
Your facial expression and body language should let the other person know you're truly listening to them. A recent study showed that people who used hand or head gestures received responses to their questions faster than those who didn't.
Small talk may help you connect with someone new with whom you want to have a more serious talk.
A. You don't have to be a reporter.
B. Don't worry about it too much, though.
C. You could not ask a more inconvenient question.
D. It's the first step to any meaningful relationship.
E. Use your hands to keep the conversation flowing.
F. Don't be a disappointing person in a conversation.
G. You should make a conversation with people you like.
