Nice to meet you


One of the things you learn when studying English is how to present yourself and most people learn phrases such as “How do you do?” or “Hi, my name is…”. However, one thing that language teachers don’t explain is that British people very rarely use these expressions. British people are not very good at introductions in informal situations. They are not sure what to say or what do with their hands. Whereas Brazilians or Americans will confidently extend their hands to people they meet at parties or social situations, English people prefer just to smile.

Expressions like “Hello, I’m John Smith”, “Hi, my name is…” are only used when we have to identify ourselves; for example when we go to an appointment at the dentist’s or the hairdresser’s, or if we’re telephoning someone to ask for information about ourselves.

Dialogues in school books where English teenagers present themselves to each other on the first day of school are pure fantasy. In informal social situations, British people prefer to stay chatting about something neutral like the weather, or else they use humour to break the ice. When the conversation has progressed, or even just before leaving, you can say, “I’m Ann, by the way.”, or “I didn’t catch your name”. If you meet the person again you can say, “Hello again” or, more colloquially, “Hi ya”, which stands for “Hello, nice to see you again”.

In the case of formal meetings or business situations, many language courses teach the expression “How do you do?” – to which you should answer “How do you do?”. This phrase is also recommended by the website ediplomat.com and Drett’, the famous specialist publisher that has a range of guides on British etiquette. I have said “How do you do” in my entire life and no one has never said that to me! In today’s Britain this expression is best reserved for extremely formal situations. It is, however, something that people over 60 might say, so if your elderly boss or professor uses this expression with you, then it’s polite to answer in the same way

Analyze the sentences according to structure and grammar use.


1. The words ‘can’, ‘should’ and ‘might’, underlined in the text are examples of modal verbs.

2. The negative form of: ‘…publisher that has a range of guides on British etiquette.’, is: …” publisher that doesn’t have a range of guides on British etiquette.

3. The underlined words in the following sentence: ‘They are not sure what to say or what do with their hands.’ Are examples of nouns.

4. The affirmative form of: ‘“I didn’t catch your name.” is: “I catched your name.”

What Was the Greatest Era for Innovation? A Brief Guided Tour

Which was a more important innovation: indoor plumbing, jet air travel or mobile phones? 

  We’re in the golden age of innovation, an era in which digital technology is transforming the underpinnings of human existence. Or so a techno-optimist might argue. 
  We’re in a depressing era in which innovation has slowed and living standards are barely rising. That’s what some skeptical economists believe.
   The truth is, this isn’t a debate that can be settled objectively. Which was a more important innovation: indoor plumbing, jet air travel or mobile phones? You could argue for any of them, and data can tell plenty of different stories depending on how you look at it. Productivity statistics or information on inflation-adjusted incomes is helpful, but can’t really tell you whether the advent of air-conditioning or the Internet did more to improve humanity’s quality of life.

The Teacher


Amelia Jane


Remember when we met?

When I was just a kid.

And you said to me,

'It's okay, we're all friends here.'

And treated me like a normal kid?

Well even if you don't,

Thank you, as you now mean the world to me.


Remember when I first cried in front of you?

When times were tough for me.

And you said to me,

'It's okay, I'm here.'

And it all seemed a little better?

Well even if it's slipped your mind,

It made me who I am today.


Remember when you fell apart?

You couldn't cope without your Dad.

And I said to you,

'It's okay, I'm here for you.'

And you put back up your mask?

Because it had slipped that day and I saw,

The real you, scared and hiding.


Remember when I left you?

To move on to my next stage.

And you said to me,

'I'll always be here for you.'

And we hugged and talked for hours?

You wanted me to chase my dreams,

And helped me through my fear.


Remember when I became you?

And you took to the sidelines.

And I said to you,

'I'm here to carry on.'

And you watched like a proud parent,

As I took my first steps?


Now it's me remembering you,

As you lie in the ground.

I'll always remember your calming voice,

And be grateful for what I found.
