Greeting

Homework



Q;How do you greet people in your life? Is it different for different people? How so and why? Do you touch people when you talk to them? Why? Or Why not?



A; When I greet people, I say hi, Hello, bow, and sometimes shake hands. And, Yes, I change how to greet for different people. For example, I see someone at first time, I say nice to meet you, and bowing. If the situation is in formaly, I'll shake hands, because it's the Japanese culture and traditional way. I sometimes touch my close friends' shoulder with greate affection. However I don't hug like Americans. Because I feel uncomfortable, I mean I'm embarassed in Japan.
