15.Say hello to the worldNovember 21 is World Hello Day.At school,we learned that"How do you do?"ad"How are you"are standard ways to say hello when meeting others.But do you know how to respond to them?Nowadays,do native speakers s(81)eldom use them today?
As we learned,"How do you do?"is for greeting someone we meet for the first time.And it can be responded with the same"How do you do?""How are you?"is often used to greet someone we are familiar with.It usually f(82)ollows with a response of"I'm good,and you?"or"I'm well,and you?"
But English is a casual (随意的) language.The formal"How do you do?"is rarely said by native speakers.It is considered old-fashioned.Yet they greet each other in m(83)any other ways.
You may hear a conversation b(84)etween British people:"You all right?""Yea,you?""I'm good.Any plans for the weekend?"or"How's it going?""Yea,fine,and you?"These ways of greeting are popular for young people to say hello to friends.
Americans like saying,"What's up"or"What's good?"to friends.Don't be confused.It doesn't mean"What's wrong?"It is just one way of saying hello.And people usually respond"Not much"or"Nothing"."Hey,man"is also popular.But it is only used among men.What do w(85)omen say?You guessed it.They often say"Hey,girl."
If you meet an Australian,you may hear"G'day,mate".It means"Good day".You can respond with the same"G'day".
H(86)owever,there is no rule to say hello to each other.If you can't remember all of the above,just choose"How are you?".This is the most (87)common and standard way for people of all ages.You can reply with"pretty good","same as usual"or"I'm hanging in there."
