Speaking Useful Expressions Role-Play Cultural Tip Story Retelling

How many expressions do you know about greeting people? >>SAMPLE:  How are you? I’m fine, thank you. And you? How do you do? How do you do? (It’s nice to see you.) How are you doing? Good, thanks. How about you?

G r e e t i n g P e o p l e How’s it going? All right. I’m very pleased to make your acquaintance. I’m so glad to have the opportunity of meeting you. How are things? Everything’s fine. G r e e t i n g P e o p l e

It was a pleasure meeting you. I hope we’ll meet again. How many expressions do you know about parting with people? It was a pleasure meeting you. I hope we’ll meet again. (It’s) good meeting you. (I hope to) see you again. We’ll meet again some time. Nice talking to you. I have to leave. >>SAMPLE:  I’m leaving.

Parting with people I’d better take off. I have to run. Take care (of yourself). Good-bye, have a good evening. Bye-bye, have a nice day. Say hello to Jack for me. Well, it’s been nice to see you again. Remember me to John. I’m afraid I must be off, I have to relieve the baby-sitter. Thank you very much for asking me over. I hope we’ll be able to get together again before long.

Role-play Watch the following conversation of greetings and farewells .Then act it out in pairs.

Role-play Recall the day you first met your classmates, roommates or teachers and act it out with your partner. Tips Hello, my name is… Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you too. My name is … , but you can call me… I’m from… We are going to be … That’s great.

Cultural tip Greetings depend upon the relationship one person has with another or upon a person’s position. For example, you would greet a professor on campus as Professor Jones. Mrs. Davenport, who is older, and a retired English teacher, would be greeted as Mrs. Davenport. Among friends it would be “Hi, Jim.” An informal type of person like George might expect something like “Yo GD” which means “Hi, George Donovan.” The kind of greeting is used basically among friends of the same level. But it would be wise for you to leave that kind of expression until later when you get to know the culture and individuals better. The safe way is to stick with “Hi” or “Hello”, but understand you may be greeted with different greetings that you did not learn from a textbook. Of course these different greetings break all the rules you have learned. But that’s what practical, everyday language does. We do it in Chinese, and Americans do it in English. It’s in this rule-breaking way of talking that real communication takes place.
