* Đoạn văn: Paper two: Reading Comprehension
What do you say when you meet someone for the first
time? What would you say if an English person came to visit you? “Hi! How
are you?” or “How do you do?”. If you were not too shy, you could just say “Hello”.
We can put the people we meet into two groups. One
group includes people we already know,
such as friends or classmates. The other group includes people we have never
met before- atrangers.
The way we greet people depends on who they are. For
example, to a friend we say “Hello,
Nien. How are you?”. But to teachers, for example, we say “Hello, Mr. Hung”, or
“Good morning, Ms. Minh”.
When we are introduced to someone it means we are meeting them for the first time. When we introduce ourselves to another
person we can say “Hello. My name’s
Phuong. What’s your name?”. The other person would
reply by saying “Hello, I’m Lan”.
36-
A stranger is someone we don’t know.
37- When we say “Hello. How are you?”, we are talking to a friend.
38- What do we say
when we greet a teacher? - Hello, Mr.
Lan.
39- If we are “introduced” to someone, it means we are meeting them for the first time.
