5. Greetings Responses
Formal Greetings

Good night

How do you do?
Informal Greetings

6. Example
Formal Greeting
Frances : Hello, I am Frances Cooper
John : Hello, My name is John Walsh. Pleased to meet you.
Informal Greeting
Billy : Hi, Linda. What’s up?
Linda : Great, what about you?
Billy : I’m alright, thanks.
Note :
“How are you?” is usually NOT a question about your health. It is
basically just a part of the greeting, so you can simply answer “I’m
alright”, “fine” or “good”. You may also answer “terrible” if you are
not in a good condition, and provide additional explanation in more
informal context.
