A. SPEAKING CONVERSATION ONE

Meeting and Greetings

It is usual for a third person to perform introductions

in English. He will say:

 This is Mr. William … This is Miss Winy Jones (at the

same time indicating each person with his hands).
How do you do? – How do you do?
Or:
 May I introduce you to Mr. Jody?..… This is Mr.Tedy.
How do you do – how do you do. or Pleased to meet you
Pleased to meet you, too. (especially in the USA).
Remember that “How do you do” is only used after intro
ductions, and cannot be used for later meetings.

If there is no third person to introduce you, you can

say:
 May I introduce myself? My name is (‘s) Doni.
How do you do? My name is (‘s) Mary.

Note:
Men do not call themselves Mr. They use either their
Christian name and surname as above, or just their
surname. Women normally use both Christian name and
surname; they may add Mrs, or Miss to avoid confusion.

Introducing a speaker:
 If you are introducing a speaker you should say
(indicating the speaker with your hand):
Ladies and gentlemen, Professor Iwan.
or:
 Ladies and gentlemen, I have great pleasure
introducing our guest speaker. General Brown.

The next time you meet:

 For the next and later meetings, to people whom you
know, you can say:

 Good morning (until about lunch-time-12 midday)

 Good afternoon (till tea-time or just after – 5 to 6
p.m.)
 Good evening (till 12 midnight)
 The answers are the same.

Note:
 Do not say Good day, except in Australia.
 Do not used Good evening when leaving. Here Good
night is used.

 When you know the person a little better, you may say:
How are you? I’m fine thanks.

 The answer will be:

 Fine, thanks; or : Very well, thank you.
 Remember that the thank you or thanks should end
the phrase, not begin it.
 If you are not well and wish to make this known,
say: Not very well, or : Not too well, I’m afraid.

Note:
 It is essential to use rising intonation in “I’m
afraid”
 Most English people only shake hands when they are
introduced, or when meeting after not seeing
each other for a long time. They do not how for
introductions.

Give the reason why?

===============================
Retell into your own language!
Jenny works in a surgical ward in a Permata
Hati hospital. Jenny does shift work, so she doesn’t
go to work at the same time everyday. When she is on
an early shift, she goes on duty at 7 a.m and comes
off duty at 3 p.m. Late shifts start at 2 p.m and
finish at 10 p.m. Jenny does not like late shifts.
Jenny always goes to work by bus when she is on
an early shift. The bus stops outside the out-
patiens’ department. When she is on a late shift,
Jenny generally walks from her home to the hospital.
When she comes off duty at 10.00 p.m., she is
usually rather tired, and takes the bus home.
Sometimes she goes to the taxi-rank outside the main
entrance of the hospital and goes home by taxi.
Jenny is not a qualified nurse. She is a
student nurse, so she does not work in the ward
everyday. On certain days, she has to attend
lectures on general nursing, anatomy and physiology,
hygiene and various other subjects. She wants to
pass the state final examinations and become a state
registered nurse. As a state registered nurse she
bocomes a staff nurse and can, in time, become a
sister or even a nursing officer.Where does Jenny
work? When does she come off duty when she is on an
early shift? At what time do late shifts start?When
does Jenny walk from her home to the hospital?What
lectures does Jenny attend?
