Dear all, Since I will be starting a new Busines English course next week, I was wondering if you can recommend me any free downloadable exercises on Smalk Talk/Social Chit Chat.
I have some books but would like to integrate with e.g. "5 minutes exercises" or other for B1 students.
All your input is highly appreciated.
MTIA & Happy teaching to everyone!

Hi,

The In Company Intermediate book has a section on Small talk and there is a website which lists some extra activities, some of which work without using the book. Have a look at the link and see if this helps, there is a worksheet on small talk (4th in the list). It might be too long, but maybe you could adapt it.

Otherwise if you have access to the book there is a good section on taboo subjects etc.

Hope this helps! Good luck,

Phillippa
