 Greetings and
Introduction

We use greetings and introductions in our first-time interaction with

people however it is important that we don’t forget that some greetings apply only to
formal situations and other greetings are more suited to informal situation such
when you meet a friend at school or university.

Learning how to introduce ourselves and how to show interest by asking

personal information questions is also a goal to reach since most conversations tend
to go beyond a simple greeting and introduction.
