Diana: Hello, Tom! Glad to see you! How are you?Tom: Very well, thank you. And you?

Diana: I am fine, thanks. I want to introduce you my friends, Miss Brown and Mr. Dikson.They are my guests, they arrived in Bucharest from London only a few days ago.

Tom: How do you do? Glad to meet you!Friends: How do you do? (They shake hands).Tom: Where are you going?

When visiting Great Britain for the first time it is necessary to know most of the dos anddonts. Here we are going to speak about the forms of greetings.

The very formal How do you do? is not a question; thats why it doesnt require any other

answer than How do you do? This form of greeting is used when you are introduced tosomeone or if you meet someone for the first time.If you often meet someone you usually say, How are you? The answer to such a greeting


24/87

must be short, for example: Very well, thank you, and how are you?But that is not all. You can, of course, say Good morning on entering or leaving, for

example, a shop or an office in the morning. You can say it till noon (till about 12 oclock inthe afternoon). Till about 6 oclock in the evening you say, Good afternoon, and from that

time on Good evening. But all these are rather formal greetings.If you meet a friend of yours you may just say, Hello, Dan or Hello, Mary.

The manner of addressing people in Britain is quite different from ours.First of all never use the words sir or madam while speaking with equals. A usual form of

addressing people is Mr. Smith, Mrs. Smith. But you must remember that Mrs. is theform of addressing a married woman, while Miss is used for single woman.

The next rule to remember is about shaking hands. British people avoid shaking hands asmuch as possible. They shake hands with you when they meet you for the first time or whenthey leave for long. And remember that it is always the visitor who offers his hand first, even

if the person visited is a woman.

LEOthe Lion, July 23 Aug. 22 The sun rules Leo, which is a fire sign. Astrologers believe thatLeos have regal, self-centered, generous, and warm-hearted natures. Protective of people

close to them, they need to be the center of attention and can be inordinately fond of praise.Creative and dramatic, they are natural leaders who love to enjoy themselves.

I cannot be your friend and your flatterer too.Everything is good in its season.

Think twice before you speak once.Speak well of your friend, of your enemy say nothing.

Hope is a good breakfast, but a bad supper.Never too old to learn.
