Daily English Upgrade #006: Mini-Conversation — Small talk opener + 2 follow-ups

Mohamed Helmy

Small talk gets easier when you stop trying to be “perfect” and use a simple flow.

Opener:

  • How’s your week going?

Follow-up 1 (easy):

  • Busy or pretty calm?

Follow-up 2 (deeper):

  • What’s been the main highlight so far?

Mini practice (20 seconds):
Answer in 1–2 sentences:

  1. How’s your week going?
  2. What’s been the main highlight so far?

It’s much easier to make this natural when you practice it in real conversation. If you’d like, we can work on it together in a 25-minute lesson (supportive corrections, no pressure).
