Opening a conversation and bringing a conversation to an end are essential parts of our

everyday language. You already know how to say hello and good bye, but in this lesson you willstudy in more detail Americans perform these functions.

In the dialogues that follow, pay attention to what speakers say to greet each other and whatthey say to indicate that the conversation is over.Mike : Say, Grace, how you doing?Grace : Mike! Hey, how are you?Mike : Not bad. Where you going?Grace : Over to Jerrys. How about you?Mike : Oh, I just got off work. Im so hungry, I could eat a horse!Grace : Where are you working now?Mike : J $ L Steel. Its a real pain. But I guess I couldnt complain. Lots of guys are out of workthese days.Grace : Yeah, thats the truth. Well, I better let you go to get some supper.Mike : Yeah, it was great seeing you again. Maybe we could get together sometime.Grace : Sounds good. Ill give you a call.Mike : OK, great. Ill be seeing you.Grace : OK, Mike. Enjoy your meal.Mike : Thanks. Bye!Grace : Bye!

Greetings in all languages have the same purpose: to establish contact with another person,

to recognize his or her existence, and to show friendly. The greeting is always returned, often in thesame form but with different stress.Usually people do not suddenly quit talking, say good bye, and leave each other abruptly;

ending a conversation normally takes some time. This involves two kind of interaction;pre-closings and closings. Pre-closings are phrases that signal the end of a conversation; closingsare phrases that explicitly end the conversation.

The following is the phrases near to the top of the list are generally more formal than theones.

Everyone makes mistakes, and everyone needs to know what to do and say after making amistake. This unit focuses on apologies, and the aim is to help you know about whatto say andwhen to say it. Read the following dialogue.

late show.Sandy : Ok, great. Sorry about the inconvenience.Russell: Dont worry about it. See you in a little bit.Sandy : Thanks. See you.

There many different situations that require an apology, but they all have something incommon: something undesirable or uncomfortable has happened. People apologize for:1. Hurting someones feelings or causes a misunderstanding.2. Being late for missing a meeting, class, appointment, etc.3. Interrupting a conversation or meeting.4. Taking someones else property by mistake.5. Being impolite6. Damaging another persons property.7. Telling a secret accidentally.8. Calling someone early in the morning or late at night.9. Dialing a wrong number on the telephone.10. Invading someones personal space by bumping or hitting them accidentally.

The words Im sorry do not always indicate an apology. These words are also used to expresssympathy, as in Im sorry to tell you that youll have to re-type this report. Mr. Lockhart cantstand spelling errors.

There are still other situations in which people say Im sorry or excuse me but are notreally apologizing. You can use these two expressions if you walk between two people talking inthe halfway, or if you cough, burp, sneeze, hiccup, or yawn. You can also say Pardon me in aformal situation.
