Saying hello and goodbye

There are lots of different ways to say hello and goodbye in English. You need to think about the situation: is it formal (like in an office, or when you meet someone for the first time "Good morning. My name's Ryan.") or is it informal (like when you meet your friends "Hi Ryan! How's it going?")?


Listen to the conversation here: https://elt.oup.com/student/headway/elementary/f_everydayenglish/hwy_elem_dialogue01?cc=gb&selLanguage=en

For practise, change which parts you want to see. Click on Part A. Now you can only see Part B. Listen again. Can you write Part A?
Now click the parts you want to hear. Click on Part B. Listen again. Can you speak the missing words from Part B?

There is some useful vocabulary and a short test here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/learningenglish/radio/specials/1142_greeting/page2.shtml  Listen to the recording and practise the vocabulary the next time you talk to people. Do you need formal or informal language?
