Hi Nam,
Here's what I often do to improve my small talk skills.
a. One strategy is to talk about what others and I have in common.
b. Another tip is to open up about yourself first as this will encourage people to do the same.
c. Some possible commonalities can be the weather, a mutual friend, or the situation we find ourselves in.
d. That means the more you do it, the better you'll become.
e. And most importantly, small talk is not an innate ability, but a skill that can be learned and needs practicing.
Write back to me soon to let me know if these tips work for you. Cheers.
