Brighton, a famous holiday town next to the sea in Sussex, on the southeast coast of England, is only 50 minutes on a fast train from London.
The town usually has about 134,000 citizens, but it gets a lot of tourists. They come here to spend their holidays by the sea and students come from lots of different countries. It is a very busy place at this time of the year, and there always seems to be a party going on!

Prince George, the future King George IV, first visited Brighton in 1783. He liked it and used to spend part of the summer there because of his health. He asked John Nash, who was a very famous builder at the time, to build him a palace. It took about 40 years to build the palace and it cosplayt 500,000 pounds! Many famous and important people enjoyed visiting Brighton over the years. Now more than 400,000 tourists visit Brighton and the palace - the Royal Pavilion - every year.

Animals don’t talk. But humans are a special kind of animal -- they can talk, and talking is a very important __________ of our life.
So what is small talk? Well, “small” means something not big, or not important, and “talk” is __________ people do to communicate with each other. And so we have the expression “small talk”, which means to talk to someone about something not important. It is also a way to start a conversation with somebody.
But people from different __________ might feel different. In English-speaking countries, it is common for people to start a conversation with somebody they don’t know when they are together in certain situations. For example, at the bus sTOP and it starts to rain, or in a long line waiting to __________ tickets. And emergencies make people talk -- have you ever been in a lift when it sTOPped and the lights __________?
“Small talk” is special language; it is __________ a question, and often uses a question tag. We say things like: “You’re in my math class, aren’t you?” Or “I wish the bus would come, don’t you?” Small talk helps us pass the time pleasantly and in the dark lift we might talk to the person there with us—then we won’t feel so bad!
