What do you say to people to pass the time of day? Do you talk about the weather? Do you ask them how they are?

- “Don’t scratch that spot – it’ll only get worse.”
- “The small electric motors used in vacuum cleaners, hair driers, food mixers, electric drills and so on need very little maintenance.”
