INTRODUCING PEOPLE

There are some main rules of introducing which are useful to remember: men are introduced to women, young people to older ones, old friends to newcomers, and young girls to married. Usually women are not presented to a man unless he is the Head of State or a member of the Royal family. When introducing one says something like: “Mrs. Johnson, may I introduce Mr. Blake?” and then turning to Mrs. Johnson simply says “Mrs. Johnson”. That is all that’s necessary, but one can say a bit of information which will help the introduced people to start the conversation.

The usual response to the introduction is “How do you do?” which is a kind of greeting and not a question, and the best answer to it is “How do you do?”. Sometimes one may say less formally “I am glad to meet you”, “Happy to have met you” or just “Hello”.

It is very good to add the name of the person introduced “I am very glad to meet you, Mr. Sparks”. If you do not remember the name it is enough simply to ask “What was your name, please?” or “Could you repeat your name?” Men may stand when introduced, ladies may remain seated.

British and American people usually shake hands especially when formally introduced but they do not always shake hands with people they see often. When an Englishman passes a friend in the street he only touches his hat.

Usually they smile and say: “Good morning”, “Good afternoon”, “Good evening”, “Hello”, “Hi”.

When two businessmen meet, they usually shake hands.

HELLO AND GOОD-BYE

How do you greet someone when you first meet them? What do you say when you say goodbye?

You may have noticed that Frenchmen shake hands every time they meet, and kiss each other on both cheeks as a ceremonial salute, while Englishmen shake hands only when they are introduced, or after a long absence.

In other parts of the world they have much more complicated greetings. Some Philippine Islanders, for instance, really used to take trouble bending low with hands or cheeks, then raising one foot in the air. In neighbouring islands they would grab your hand or foot and rub it on their faces. In what is now Indonesia, they’d lift your left foot, pass it over the right leg, and then over the face.

In ancient Gaul people used to tear their hair out and present it to their friends when they met; African tribesmen would perform finger-cracking exercises; and the Japanese took of a slipper.

Ethiopians used to take off a friend’s robe on meeting, and tie it round their own waist, leaving the friend half-naked. Tahitians stripped completely.

One tribe Indians in north America greatly overdid their welcome. They made a room very hot, then spent the evening throwing water over hot stones until the heat was unbearable, at the same time providing their guest with vast quantities of food. If the guest ate all the food before he was “burnt out”, it was a disgrace to his host; otherwise the host got a present.

The Chinese carried courtesy to extremes, with an Academy of Compliments. Visiting ambassadors had to take a 40-day course before appearing in court so that they bowed the correct number of times, and didn’t incline to the left instead of to the right. Meeting after a separating, two Chinese would kneel and bow two or three times, and a host would even salute the chair a guest was to sit on.

Victorian England made nearly as many rules about handshaking as the Chinese did about bowing. A man could not offer his hand first to a lady; young ladies didn’t shake men’s hands at all unless they were old friends; married ladies could offer their hands in a room, but not in public, where they would bow slightly.

Girls in Scandinavia still curtsy to older women, and Indians greet each other with hands together as in prayer. In the east a bargain is sealed by smacking your right hand against that of your partner.

PARTY MANNERS (PARTY ETIQUETTE)

1. On receiving the invitation give your “yes” or “no” answer promptly.

2. Never break an engagement without advance notice. If you cannot make it, write or telephone to express your regret and ask to be excused.

3. Do not come before the time indicated on the invitation. Try not to be late. Come in time.

4.. Do not shake hands with the hostess, unless he extends her.

5. Stand up when introduced.

6. Show your appreciation of the hospitable offered.

7. When leaving a party thank the host and hostess, say good-bye but do not attract undue attention of other guests.

8. Do not overstay. Do not trespass on the host’s hospitality.

9. Do not press refreshments, especially strong drinks upon unwilling guests.

10. The host and hostess should see that nobody is neglected, that all guests are engaged in a conversation of a general nature, that all of them are enjoying the party.

11. Write thank-you-notes to thank someone for a gift or for allowing you to stay at the host’s home for several days.

I STUDY ENGLISH.

English is an international means of communication. It is studied as a foreign language at secondary and higher schools of our country.

As for me I like English very much. I studied English at school and I’m studying it now. I study it every day because I want to have a good command of the language. I am sure if the work at it systematically as I do now I will know the language very well. I try to do my best to master English as quickly as possible. I study pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar. I try to speak English with my teacher and with my friends. I read much and do many language exercises. I have many English books. I know that foreign languages are of great importance in our modern life.

ENGLISH AS A MEANS OF INTERNATIONAL COMMUNICATION

English is the national language in such countries as Britain, the United States of America, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. It is the mother tongue of nearly three hundred million people. Many people speak English in Japan, China, India and African countries. But many more use it as an international means of communication, because English has become a truly international language.

Science, trade, sport and international relations of various kinds have given the English language the status of one of the world’s most important languages. Many scientific and technical journals are written in English although they are not necessarily published in England or other English-speaking countries. At numerous international meetings and conferences, English is the main language. The Olympic Games and other multinational sport events cannot do without it.

The role English play today is the result of historical processes. The English language, in the course of its historical development, has met with so many influences from abroad that its lexical and grammatical structure has come to reflect in many ways its international use.

English is a language which is indeed able to cope with the most diverse tasks of international communication.

HOW TO USE A DICTIONARY

There are many good English dictionaries. A good dictionary, if correctly used, will yield a wealth of information.

When translating, you may find the following suggestions useful:

- Carefully read the text to be translated.

- Reread the text and underline unfamiliar words.

- Make a rough translation.

- Look up any unfamiliar words and phrases.

- Remember that the text form of a doubtful word may have to be “converted” into the dictionary form. Small dictionaries exclude certain kinds of words and you need some knowledge of word-formation in the foreign language.

Good luck in studying English!
