PEOPLE AND CAREERS
STARTING UP
A. Study what you should say when you meet people:
Introductions and Conversation Openings
A person performing an introduction in a formal situation says, for
example Mrs. Johnson, may I introduce Mr. Bentley? Mr. Bentley – Mrs.
Johnson. Less formal alternatives to May I introduce...? are (in order of de-
creasing formality):
Let me introduce...
I'd like you to meet...
This is...
Meet...
The two people who have been introduced both say:
How do you do? – in formal and semi-formal situations;
Hallo – in informal and semi-formal situations.
Pleased/Glad to meet you.
Two phrases often used before introducing someone are:
Have you met...?
eg Have you met my sister? I don't think you've met...
eg I don't think you've met my sister.
If you have to introduce yourself, you may say, for example:
May I introduce myself? My name's Victor Petrov. I'm your guide.
Let me introduce myself.
When two people have been introduced, one of them usually has to start a
conversation. One way to do this is to ask a question such as:
Is this your first visit to...?
Have you been here/to... before?
Have you visited/seen...?
How do you like/find (our)...?
(How) are you enjoying...?
Are you finding... interesting/useful?
What do you think of...?
Are you interested in...?
Greetings and Inquiries About Health
When you already know someone, the following formal greetings should
be used:
Good morning – until lunch-time (12 – 2 p.m.)
Good afternoon – until 5–6 p.m.
Good evening – until 10–11 p.m.
