Greeting - Example Conversations

Let's look at several example conversations.  Then we can move on to the practice section.

 Person A: "Hi, my name is Steve.  It's nice to meet you."
 Person B: "I'm Jack.  It's a pleasure to meet you, Steve."
 Person A: "What do you do for a living Jack?"
 Person B: "I work at the bank."

 Person A: "What is your name?"
 Person B:  "Jackson."
 Person A: "What was that again?"

 Person A: "Hey John, how have you been?"
 Person B: "What a surprise.  I haven't seen you in a long time.  How have you been?"
 Person A: "I'm doing very well.  How about you?"
 Person B: "I finally have some free time.  I just finished taking a big examination, and I'm so relieved that I'm done with it."

 Person A: "Hi Nancy, what have you been up to?"
 Person B: "The same ole same ole."  Or, "The same as usual.  How about you?"
 Person A: "I'm pretty busy at work these days, but otherwise, everything is great."

 Person A: "Andy, it's been a long time, how are you man?"
 Person B: "What a surprise.  I haven't seen you in a long time.  How have you been?"
 Person A: "Do you come to this restaurant often?"
 Person B: "I've been here a couple of times, but I don't come on a regular basis."

 The next lesson is the interactive practice section.  If you would like to repeat this lesson or previous lessons, feel free to go back and study as many times as you need.  When you are ready, go to the practice section.
