Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 6:04:25 PMGood job! |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 6:04:53 PMWhich two words are omitted (missing) from the expression "Pleasure to meet you"? |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 6:05:05 PM |
╮灬颜汐ヾ(442622353) 6:05:08 PMIt's my |
不知 ”(479923756) 6:05:15 PMIt's my |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 6:05:31 PMTechnically that's three words... It is my |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 6:05:53 PMIt's a |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 6:06:06 PMWell, sorry, that's three too. |
May(861725867) 6:06:43 PMwe understand |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 6:06:46 PMWhat's a less formal way to say "It's a pleasure to meet you"? |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 6:06:57 PM |
╮灬颜汐ヾ(442622353) 6:07:40 PMHow about it's my pleasure to meet you? |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 6:07:57 PMHint: pleasure is a very strong word. What's a less strong word? |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 6:08:09 PM |
May(861725867) 6:08:19 PMhonor |
不知 ”(479923756) 6:08:23 PMNice to meet you |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 6:08:45 PMHonor is more formal because it is even stronger than pleasure. Nice is correct. |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 6:08:58 PM |
May(861725867) 6:09:19 PMGreat |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 6:10:21 PMIt's an honor... Most formal, like meeting the president. It's a pleasure... Formal, like meeting a professor. It's nice... Meeting an acquaintance. Nice to meet you. Less formal. Nice meeting you. Even less formal |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 6:10:52 PM |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 6:11:19 PMLet's talk a bit about shaking hands. When should you shake hands in the dialog? |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 6:11:30 PM |
╮灬颜汐ヾ(442622353) 6:12:15 PMStart dialog,or finish it |
不知 ”(479923756) 6:12:42 PMWhen you meet a stranger, especially after greeting |
不知 ”(479923756) 6:13:29 PMSuch as nice to meet you |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 6:13:49 PMAt the start or finish is not quite right. That is when you are using a handshake as a greeting or parting gesture. Using it with introductions is a little different. You shake right when you say "Nice to meet you." At the same time as saying it. |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 6:14:13 PM |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 6:14:31 PMShaking hands is most common in professional relationships. Outside of work settings it is more common for men to shake hands than women. Women often choose to hug instead of shaking hands when greeting or parting from other women. Women also have the option of choosing not to shake hands or hug, especially in male dominated social settings. |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 6:15:05 PM |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 6:15:21 PMLet's do the informal introduction dialog now. |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 6:15:33 PMJim: Who’s the tall woman next to Barbara? Charles: That’s her friend Mary. Didn’t you meet her at Steve’s party? Jim: No, I wasn’t at Steve’s party. Charles: Oh! Then let me introduce you to her now. Mary, this is my friend Jim. Mary: Hi, Jim. Nice to meet you. Jim: You, too. Would you like a drink? Mary: Sure, let’s go get one. |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 6:16:10 PM |
脱口美语ITALKBAY<italkbay@gmail.com> 6:16:54 PM parting 分手时 |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 6:16:57 PMSo, what does it mean that Charles asked "Didn't you meet her?" instead of "Did you meet her?" |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 6:17:12 PM |
不知 ”(479923756) 6:18:42 PMThe former is used to introduce someone |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 6:18:56 PMHint: Does Charles think Jim and Mary know each other, or does he think they need to be introduced? |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 6:19:13 PM |
不知 ”(479923756) 6:19:17 PMThe second is a question |
不知 ”(479923756) 6:19:25 PMright? |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 6:20:02 PMIf he asked, "Didn't you meet her?" it means that he thought that they already met. |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 6:20:12 PM |
不知 ”(479923756) 6:20:14 PMOK |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 6:20:48 PMIf he asked, "Did you meet her?" it means he thought they had not met. |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 6:20:59 PM |
不知 ”(479923756) 6:21:07 PMGot it |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 6:21:29 PMHere's a dialog about meeting an artist in an art gallery: |
Penguin House(1040660342) 6:21:29 PMI see |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 6:21:39 PMIn an art gallery: John: “Good afternoon. My name is John Willcocks. I’ve been admiring you paintings and wanted to introduce myself.” Sandy: “Oh, hey, it’s nice meeting you. I’m glad you like my work. Which ones do you like the best?” John: “I particularly enjoyed the ocean scene. The use of color and texture is stunning!” Sandy: “Thanks. Yeah, everyone tells me that’s their favorite!” John: “It’s been a pleasure speaking with you. I look forward to seeing your future works.” Sandy: “Well, I’m glad you like it. You take care now.” |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 6:22:25 PM |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 6:22:45 PMSo, who is using formal speech and who is using informal speech? |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 6:23:00 PM |
╮灬颜汐ヾ(442622353) 6:23:10 PMJohn is fomal |
╮灬颜汐ヾ(442622353) 6:23:27 PMSandy is infomal |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 6:23:32 PMHow can you tell? What words does he use that are more formal? |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 6:23:42 PM |
不知 ”(479923756) 6:24:29 PMit's an honor…… |
╮灬颜汐ヾ(442622353) 6:24:46 PMJohn: it 's been a pleasure… Sandy:it's nice meeting you |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 6:25:03 PMThat's good. It's an honor is very formal. Almost too formal for just meeting an artist! |
Penguin House(1040660342) 6:25:07 PMJohn :"…I look forward to seeing …" |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 6:25:15 PM |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 6:26:02 PMYes, I look forward to seeing is quite formal. How could you say the same thing informally? |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 6:26:19 PM |
不知 ”(479923756) 6:26:54 PMI am happy or glad to see…… |
╮灬颜汐ヾ(442622353) 6:27:03 PMIt's nice meeting you |
不知 ”(479923756) 6:27:36 PMno,mine is wrong |
不知 ”(479923756) 6:27:54 PMI wish |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 6:27:56 PMWell, he is saying "I look forward to seeing your future works." So, more informally he means "I can't wait to see more of your art!" |
Penguin House(1040660342) 6:28:01 PM"expecting your new works " |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 6:28:14 PM |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 6:28:50 PMDoes John think going to the art gallery is a formal or informal event? What about Sandy? |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 6:29:03 PM |
不知 ”(479923756) 6:30:03 PMJohn thinks it's formal |
Penguin House(1040660342) 6:30:12 PMJohn thinks it's a formal event |
不知 ”(479923756) 6:30:40 PMand Sandy thinks it's informal |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 6:30:57 PMThat's right. To John, going to the art gallery is very special and formal. Why do you think Sandy is so informal? |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 6:31:11 PM |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 6:32:14 PMSandy is an artist, so to her going to the gallery is normal. That's why she is so informal. |
Penguin House(1040660342) 6:32:15 PMLet John feels free and enjoy the art works at gallery. |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 6:32:27 PM |
Penguin House(1040660342) 6:32:51 PMih, I see. |
Nick<ecotopian7@hotmail.com> 6:32:52 PMI like you answer too Susan. Maybe she is trying to make John feel more at home! |
