Small Talk на Работе

Если мы начинаем Small Talk с человеком, которого не знаем, нужно обязательно представится.
Hey Lucy! It’s nice to meet you! I am Kate. I am a new part-time accountant here.

Можно добавить немного о своих чувствах.
I can admit that I am a little nervous on the first day. But I am really excited to get to know everyone.
