Getting Acquainted


We are all unique in our own way. We may come from different places, like different foods, and have different customs. When we greet each other, we may do it in different ways. Let's observe a dialogue of two people getting acquainted in america:
S1 Hello! May I ask your name?
S2. Yes! My name is Suzan. What is your name?
S1. My name is Shaun. It’s nice to meet you, Suzan.
S2. Same here, Shaun; let’s talk more later.
S1. Ok, let’s do that. Bye, bye.
