When a cashier or a taxi driver starts chatting, what do you usually do?

A natural way to answer

I tend to join in a little. I'll answer their questions and ask one back. It only lasts a minute, but it makes the moment feel friendlier. I quite enjoy the chat.

Key phrases to use

  • go along with it — accept and take part in something rather than resisting it“He started joking, so I just went along with it.”
  • enjoy the chat — find a casual conversation pleasant“Thanks, I really enjoyed the chat.”
  • make my day — make you feel really happy or pleased“Your message made my day.”
