Greetings before a Conversation
Sometimes you stop and talk for a minute as you say hello. This type of greeting is followed by a conversation. Close friends often hug when they greet each other, especially after a long time without seeing one other. Men sometimes give each other a hand shake or a high-five (touch palms above the head).
Tips
•Stand near a person and say hello.
•Express happiness to see a person.
•Ask a question or begin a conversation.
Useful Phrases
•Nice to see you.
•Long time no see. (I haven"t seen you in a while.)
•What have you been up to?
•How are things?
•It"s been a while. (It"s been a while since I"ve seen you.)
•What"s new?
•Not much. (answer to What"s new?)
Pair Practice (casual between friends or coworkers)
A: Hi Corey.
B: Hey, Jennifer. Good to see you. (hug)
A: You too. How"ve you been?
B: Busy, you?
A: Pretty good. How"s your new job?
B: It"s okay. There"s a lot to learn. What"s new with you?
A: Not much. The kids are back at school.
Note: Between very close friends it"s uncommon to use names in a casual greeting. Sometimes nicknames or short forms are used. (Cor and Jen instead of Corey and Jennifer).
Further Practice for Pairs
•Add a third speaker and create your own lines.
•Add an unexpected interruption (bus arrives, friend comes out of a store, child fusses).
•Write the next four lines between the two speakers.
•Write an inappropriate line and explain why it should not be part of the greeting.
