common one.

talk about the weather. It's the easiest

raining.

weather.
>> This is great. We have coffee, shopping,
directions, meeting new people, hobbies,
plans, and the weather.
>> That is a lot of conversation practice.
>> And now, how do we end a conversation?
>> Ah, yes. Saying goodbye. This is very
important. I cannot just walk away.
>> No, Emily, please don't. It is not
polite.
>> Okay. Okay. So, what do I say?
>> You can give a reason. Well, I have to
go now.
>> I have to go to work.
>> I have to meet my friend.
>> It is getting late.
>> Yes. And then you say something nice. It
was nice to talk to you.
