A I’ll call back later, thaks. Think it over Reading How are you? Hello. ‘ How are you? ‘ Good morning. ‘ Have you eaten yet? ’ Were are you going? These are greeting which people use in different languages when they meet each other. but what is a greating ? A greating is a way of being friendly to someone. it is away of being polite. It is also a way of starting a conversation. In many languages a question is used as a greeting: Where are you going? How’s everyting with you? But questions like these are not real questions. They do not require a full answer or even a true one. In english, for example , the commonest greeting is aquestion about aperson’s health: How are you? But we do not expect them to talk about their headache or their backache. If they have one. People reply very well, thanks. ’ in the same way , in countries where people greet each other with ‘ Where are you going? , a simple reply such as ‘ just walking around’ is sufficient. It is not necesarry to describe where are you actually going. In most languages, a greating is usually followed by’ small talk ‘. Small talk means the little things we talk about at the start of a conversation. In english speaking countries people often make small talk about the weather: ‘ nice say, isn’t it? ‘ teriible weather, isn’t it? But there is something special about small talk. It must be about something which both people have the same opinion about. The purpose of small talk is to let bot people agree one something. This makes meeting people easier and more comfortable. People usually agree about the weather, so it is safe topic for small talk. But people often diasgree about religion or politics so these are not suitable topics for small talk in english. The topics for small talk also depend on where the conversation is yaking place. At football matches, people make small talk about the game they are watching: ‘ Great game , isn’t it? At bus stops, people may comment about the transport aystem: ‘ The buses are very slow these days, aren’t they? Greetings and small talk are an important part of conversation in any language. They way people greet each other and the things they talk about , however , may be different from one language to another. This shows that there is more to learn we learn a language than just the vocabulary and the grammar of the language. We also have to learn the social behaviour of the people who speak it.
