TIPS
只需要听写嘉宾的话，主持人的话不需要听写。不需要听写的句子如下：
主持人的话① "Now let's talk a little bit more about in American society, what are some lines of small talk to just, you know, completely avoid?"
HINTS
Supreme Court nominee of President Bush
awkward
Debra
PS：在嘉宾的话中有直接引用的句子，请加上单引号。

Before I walk into a situation where I don't know people intimately, I come up with two to three things to talk about. It may be related to the event what got you involved with this charity? It may be related to current eventswhat do you think of this new Supreme Court nominee?
Now, I am prepared that people don't all read the newspapers or listen to the radio, so I will say: 'Have you heard about this new Supreme Court nominee of President Bush's?' 'No, I don't even know what you're talking about, Debra.' 'Well let me fill you in ...' and then ask what their thoughts are about that.
But be prepared with two to three things to talk about. And if you've ever met with this person before, review in your mind what you know about them before you enter the restaurant, before you go to the party, before you attend the conference, so that when there is that awkward moment, pregnant pause, the worst time to think of something to talk about is when there is absolutely nothing to talk about.
Well, I number one don't think it's appropriate to ever say to someone 'are you married?' Because if they say no, where is this conversation headed? Don't ask someone 'do you have any kids?' because, once again, what if they say no?
