Greetings are an important element forsocializing. But be careful which greetings to use,

according to the setting you are in. There areboth formal and informal greetings and farewellsin English. When meeting a person for the firsttime, you should be respectful and polite. In

a formal introduction, you should shake handsand say How do you do? or Pleased to meet

you. But when young people meet, informal

introductions are used and different expressionsare used. Sometimes teenagers say Give me

five! with a hand slap. Finally, hand shakes aregenerally not used with people we know well.
