Greeting, Introduction, and Small Talks

A. Greeting in English, how to Answer the Question “How are you?”

A few simple ways to ask and answer popular English questions. In English,” how
are you?” People in the United States usually ask this question and respond in a unique
way. Here are some alternative options for a decent response. When asked, "How are
you?" we can respond, "I'm fine." We can use this if we feel fine. "How are you?" is the
most common approach to inquire about someone's well-being, and we can use it when
we wish to be courteous.
This is a question that can be answered in a variety of ways. We can say good,
good, pretty good, quite good if we're feeling good, It's not bad, once again, it's quite
good. Despite the fact that this response has the same meaning as "I'm fine," we are
unable to respond to the question, "How are you?" "I'm OK," you say, because this is
going to seem strange. We can remark "not so good" if we aren't feeling well, not so
good, not great, be careful.
B. Asking About Names
“What’s your name?” including one that you can use when you’ve forgotten
someone’s name. Now, “What is your name?” was probably one of the first questions
you learned when you started studying English. In English, just like in other languages,
it is often more polite to be a little indirect. Of course, the easiest way to avoid asking
the question directly is to not ask at all! Just introduce yourself, and most people will
respond by doing the same.
When introducing yourself, simple is nearly always best. Just say...“Hi, I’m Alisha!”
To show that you want to know the other person’s name, just add, “And you?” at the
end.
“Hi, I’m Alisha! And you?”
Just like before, take out my name, Alisha, and put your name in its place. After you say
this, the person will tell you his or her name. Okay, the most polite thing to do in this
situation is to apologize and ask again. There’s a simple way to do this that’s also polite.
“I’m sorry. What was your name again?”
This sentence is very similar to “What’s your name?” but it has three important
differences. First, we say, “I’m sorry.” A small apology can go a long way. After that
we say “What was your name?”.

C. Asking “Where are you from”

First, though, “Where are you from?” can mean many things. It can mean, What city
are you from? or What state are you from? Of course, though, it can also mean “What
country are you from?”
If you want to answer this question, there are two ways to do it. You can say “I’m
from...plus, the country you are from” As in I’m from Italy.
In many casual situations, they will say it in a simpler way. “Where you from?”
This is just like “Where are you from?” but they take out the “are” Where you from?
You can use this too in casual situations. Of course, in the United States, as in other
parts of the world, people may be a little more indirect because they want to be polite.

D. Asking “Where do you live”

Usually, someone will ask you where you live as a polite question after they’ve
asked you your name, where you’re from, and what you do for a living. They’ll say: “So
where do you live?” This is inviting you to keep making conversation.
There are lots of ways you could answer this question, but here’s some of the most
common. You could say: “Do you know...? and then the name of the area you live in.
“Do you know Twin Pines?” Or, you could mention a local landmark. Like: “Near the
library.” “Near the movie theater.”
You could also answer by telling the person what train line you live on, if your city
has a train network. Or what station is the nearest to your house. “On the Green Line.”
“Near Central Station.”
So as you can see, there are lots of possible ways to answer the question “Where do
you live?”
 Once you’ve told them, the other person might respond in one of the following
ways: “Oh, yeah, I know it!” “I live near there!” Or maybe: “I’m afraid I don’t know it.”
The other person is just being polite by showing interest, so you can reply by saying
something like “Oh, really?”
Since the other person is asking you this question to be polite, a good way to
continue the conversation is to ask them the same question in return.

E. Asking “Where did you go to school”

Learning how to ask someone where they went to school or where they went to
college are simple questions that can start a conversation. However, we must be careful
not to insult anyone who is not a college student. very straightforward, If the other
person is over the age of 22, they have most likely already graduated from college. As a
result, we can use the past tense to ask questions. "Where did you study?" You may also
say, "where did you go to school?"
Depending on the context of the school, in American English. It is frequently used
interchangeably with the term "college." "Where did you study?" is more likely to be
asked if the other person is British or European. This is a simple question with a simple
answer. "I went to university in the city," we say. We can add country name instead "I
went to Tokyo University in Japan". Once we've heard other people's answers, it's polite
to make some sort of comment. For example, "Wow, that's a very famous university" or
simply, "Oh, really?"
When we ask them "where do you study?" they sometimes respond, "I don't go to
college." In this situation, we must be cautious in our responses to avoid appearing rude,
as well as polite in our actions. we can give positive comments like "oh, really?" or "are
you working right now?"

F. Asking about hobbies “what do you for fun”

How to ask what a person's hobby - without using the word "hobby"!. We might
have seen the question, "Do you have a hobby?", or "What is your hobby?" However,
native English speakers almost never used the word "hobby" when asking about them.
The way to ask the same question is: "What did you do for fun?" You can also ask:
"What did you do in your free time?" The easiest way to answer this question is to say
"I like it for ..." or "I like it ..." followed by what we want to do. For example, "I Like
To Watch Movies" or "I Like Watching Movies".
We can emphasize how much we like hobbies by adding words like "really" in
front. For example, "I really like watching movies.". If we want to downplay something,
we can say "Kind of". For example, "I kind of Like Tennis Playing".

G. Getting Contact Details

Learn some ways to get in touch with someone after we meet them. " What's your
phone number?" This is an excellent question. However, it can come across as too
direct, especially when speaking to someone of the opposing gender. Instead, they
might want to start by connecting via email or a social media site like Facebook. "Could
you send me your email address?" "Sure," we can say in response to this inquiry.
Many people nowadays connect using social media sites like Facebook or Linkedin,
as well as online chat services like Skype. People may inquire about it. If someone
wants to connect with we through one of these services, they may simply ask, "Are you
active...?" and then the service name. "Are you on Facebook?" or "Are you on
Linkedin?" or "Are you on Skype?" are some examples. Simply respond with "Yes, it's
me." or "No, I don't."
When we ask for a phone number, email address, or other kind of contact
information, most people are happy to oblige. If only we'd known him a bit earlier. If
we ask a question too soon in the conversation, though, they may be hesitant to offer the
information. The idea is to ensure that we have a quick conversation before requesting
this type of personal information.

H. What Is Your Job

In English, how to inquire about someone's occupation. Of course, the only thing
we can say is, "What are you doing?" Although this is correct English, it comes out as
overly direct and awkward. We need to compare it to a question that is extremely
similar to it: "What are you doing right now?" "Can you tell me what you're doing right
now?" These two questions appear to be the same, however they have different
meanings. The first is to consider what we are doing right now, right now. We respond
with the -ing verb. For example, "What are you doing now?", "I am reading!"
 Just listen to the "ing" sound at the end of the question if there is none, then we are
asked what our job is. So how are we going to answer this question? Think of it as if
someone else is asking us, "What are you doing?" we can answer with "I" + "your job".
for example, "I'm a teacher." or "I am a teacher" or "I am an engineer."
