Ex. II Read and translate the information about informal greetings and leaving.
Greeting people in England is not so simple as it may seem.
The expected answer to the greetings “How do you do?” is also: “How do you do?” When you do not want to sound too familiar “How do you do, sir?” Used by men to each other (especially by a junior to a senior), but not by a woman to a man.
When you are introduced to a person you always say: “How do you do?”
There are many ways of saying “hello” in English “Hello” — with the appropriate intonation can be used — to attract attention speaking over the phone, calling to a friend, expressing surprise, etc.
The word “hello” has different spelling: “hallo”, “hullo”, and “hello”.
Informal greetings
When you have got to know somebody better you may say:
Hello —Hello
How’re you getting on? — Fine, thanks.
You may also hear less “safe” expressions such as:
How’s life? — Not too bad, thanks.
How’s life treating you? — Can’t complain, you know (some people
consider this vulgar).
Good morning is used informally, but not the other “times of day”. Often the good is dropped; sometimes the person’s name is added:
Morning Jim — Morning
After not seeing someone for some time, say:
Nice to see you again.
Leaving
Formal or informal:
Goodbye
Less “safe” informal expressions are:
Cheerio. Byebye. G’bye. Bye. Bye now.
Be seeing you. See you.
The answers will be the same.
If you’re going to meet again the same day (soon):
See you later. See you soon. See you tonight (=this evening).
See you tomorrow.
These are often answered by:
Fine О. К. All right. That’s right.
Goodnight can be used on all occasions after about 8 p. m: when leave-taking or retiring to bed.
To someone who’s leaving for a fair length of time:
Goodbye John, and all the best.
Goodbye Jean, and good luck.
This will probably be an occasion for the rare British hand shake.
Good day and Good morning, etc. are normally only used for leave taking by shop-assistants.
Ex. Ill Read and translate the following dialogues.
1
Bill: Hello Jane. How’re you getting on?
Jane: Fine, thanks. How’re you?
Bill: Fine.
Harry: Hello you two.
Bill: Hello Harry.
Jane: I think I’d better be going, or I’ll be late at the office. Goodbye.
Harry: Goodbye Jane.
(The men talk for a few minutes and then)
Bill: Got to be going, I’m afraid. See you tonight at the dance.
Harry: All right.

Paul Bartlett meets Stephen Newby (Steve) in a pub.
Paul: Hello Steve. Nice to see you again.
Steve: Hello Paul. Haven’t seen you for ages. Where’ve you been?
Paul: I’ve been in Peru as a matter of fact.
Steve: Peru eh? Let’s see now, how long have you been away?
Paul: Just over a year.
Steve: Going back?
Paul: Yes, I’m leaving the day after tomorrow.
Steve: Well, this calls for a drink. Is that bitter you are drinking?
Paul: Yes, bitter for me please.
Steve: (to the barman) Two halves of bitter please.
Barman: There you are, Sir.
Steve: (after paying for the drinks) Well, here’s to your trip.
Paul: Thank you. - Cheers!
Steve: Cheers!
Steve: Well, time to get back to work, I suppose. Look, would you have time to
drop round and have a chat with us this evening? I know Mary would be
very glad to see you.
Paul: Thanks, I’d like to very much.
Steve: Good — see you tonight then.
Paul: Fine.
