about at the start of a conversation. In English-speaking countries people often make small talk about the
weather: "Nice day, isn"t it?" "Terrible weather, isn"t it?" But there is something special about small talk. It must
be about something that both people have the same opinion about. The purpose (目的) 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, isn"t
it?" At bus stops, people may comment about the transport system: "The bus service is terrible, isn"t it?" Small
talk is an important part of conversation in any language. People in different countries start small talk in different
ways. This shows that when we learn a language, we should learn the vocabulary and the grammar as well as
the social behavior of the people who speak it.

by that name can now be seen in many parts of the world. That program became one of American exports
soon after it went on the air in New York in 1969.
In the United States more than six million children watch the program regularly. The viewers include more
than half the country"s pre-school children, from every kind of economic, racial (种族的), and geographical
group.
Although some educators object (反对) to some parts of the program, parents praise (赞扬) it highly.
Many teachers also consider it a great help, though some teachers find that problems come out when first
graders who have learnt from "Sesame Street" are in the same class with children who have not watched the
program.
Tests have shown that children from all racial, geographical, and economic backgrounds have benefited
(受益) from watching it. Those who watch it five times a week learn more than occasional (偶尔的) viewers.
In the US the program is shown at different hours during the week in order to increase the number of children
who can watch it regularly.
The programs all use songs, stories, jokes and pictures to give children a basic understanding of numbers,
letters and human relationships. But there are some differences. For example, the Spanish program, produced
in Mexico City, devotes more time to teaching whole words than to teaching separate (单独的) letters.
Why has "Sesame Street" been so much more successful than other children"s shows? Many reasons have
been suggested. People mention the educational theories (理论) of its creators, the support by the government
and private businesses, and the skillful use of various TV tricks. Perhaps an equally important reason is that
mothers watch it along with their children. This is partly because famous adult stars often appear on it. But
the best reason for the success of the program may be that it makes every child watching it feel able to learn.
