" A Friend in Need Is a Friend Indeed "

 

Mike and Nick were schoolboys. They lived in the country. The boys went to school together and they liked to play and spend their leisure time together.

One day Mike сamе to Nick's house and said, "Nick, you have so many good books. I see this is an interesting book in your library which I haven't read.

Can you lend me this book to read? I'll bring it back next week".

Nick did not want to lend books to other people, and he said, "Why do you want to take my book home? You can read it here, in my house. I want you to come again and read here".

Mike saw what kind of a friend he had, but he did not say anything. He wanted to teach him a lesson.

The next week Nick came to Mike and said, "Mike, you have a good garden knife.

INTRODUCING PEOPLE

There are some main rules of introduction which are useful to remember: men are introduced to women, young people to older ones, old friends to newcomers, and young girls to married. Usually women are not presented to a man unless he is the Head of State or a member of the Royal family. When introducing one says something like: "Mrs. Johnson, may I introduce Mr. Blake?" and then turning to Mrs. Johnson simply says "Mrs. Johnson". That is all that's necessary, but one can say a bit of infor­mation which will help the introduced people to start the conversation.

The usual response to the introduction is "How do you do?" which is a kind of greetings and not a question, and the best answer to it is "How do you do?". Sometimes one may say less formally "I am glad to meet you", "Happy to have met you" or just "Hello".

It is very good to add the name of the person intro­duced — "I am very glad to meet you, Mr. Sparks". If you do not remember the name it is enough simply to ask "What was your name, please?" or "Could you repeat your name?" Men may stand when introduced, ladies may remain seated.

British and American people usually shake hands especially when formally introduced but they do not al­ways shake hands with people they see often. When an

Englishman passes a friend in the street he only touches his hat.

Usually they smile and say: "Good morning", "Good afternoon", "Good evening", "Hello", or "Hi".

When two businessmen meet, they usually shake hands.

XII. Make up questions and let your fellow-stu­dents answer them:

What is the main rules of introduction? A are the simpliest way of introduction? ^a the usual response to introduction?

expected as an answer to "How do you do?"
