Starting small talk about food

1:12

know you don't feel like the outsider

1:14

and you'll sound much more like a native

1:16

speaker. Okay. So that's the general

1:19

overview of small talk and why it's

1:21

important. So, as I said to you, we're

1:23

going to look specifically at small talk

1:26

questions about food. Well, as well as

1:29

small talk being really important, food

1:31

is important to all of us. We all like

1:59

might eat out cooking at home

just generally breakfast lunches and

2:05

dinners

2:07

and finally diets which is also an

important part of eating food. If you

2:11

eat too much of it we have to go on

2:13

diets or we have to do a little bit more

2:15

exercise. So diets are another important

2:18

part of that general classification of

2:20

food. So let's take them one by one. So

2:23

the first one as I
