新素养 文化意识 How do you greet people? You wouldn't greet your mother the same way you greet a friend, right? It's the same in English too. You should greet different people in different ways. Let's have a look at a few different situations(情况) and learn how to greet people in English in each situation.
If you're at work and you're meeting someone for the first time, it's best to use formal(正式的) greetings. Say "Good morning or afternoon" and ask "How are you?" to find out if they are well. When you want to introduce someone at work, you can say "I'd like to introduce... (name)". If you introduce yourself to other people, you can say "Nice to meet you" and then tell him or her your name.
When greeting family and friends, we should use informal(非正式的) greetings like "hello", "hi" or "hey" first. Then we can ask "How are you doing?" or "How's life?" to find out how he or she is.
In most English-speaking countries, shaking hands is the most common(常见的) greeting. Some people greet close friends with a hug(拥抱) or a kiss on the cheek. The best way to learn about physical(身体的) greetings is to watch what other people do and then do the same.
