Business English: How to say hello in English

When you arrive at work on the first day, you must be nervous. You must be in a tight mood. How can I leave a favorable impression to my superiors and colleagues? You seem cool, but you are not sure about it. Let's first hear how Peter King, a new member of a foreign company, handles his first day of work properly.

PETER: Good morning. May I introduce myself? My name's Peter King and I'm new here.
ANNA: Pleased to meet you. I'm Anna white, the assistant to the personnel manager. Welcome to our company.

As you can see, the first meeting is like a waltz. It's very simple. It's just three steps: Greetings-introduction-reply from the other party. However, the pace of this waltz varies in different occasions.

In the formal scenario, use: Good morning/afternoon or how do you do, and also use shaking hands to "Shake hands" to show your sincerity in sincerity. Of course, do not forget smile, because smile is the best way to eliminate barriers and communicate with the soul.

In informal occasions, such as between young people or regular parties, we can relax and relax, not just dressed casually, but with just a greeting and a simple Hi greeting, or hello! You can.

In addition, as a new employee, we should take the initiative to communicate with colleagues, so we must first work as self introduction, except May I introduce myself? My name's Peter king, you can also say: Let me introduce myself. My name's Peter. Or I'm Peter.

After self-introduction, Peter hopes Susan can introduce him to the manager or other people and hear what he said:

PETER: cocould you introduce me to the manager?
Susan: Of course. mr. King... mr. White, let me introduce you to Mr. Peter King, the new clerk in your department.
White: How do you do. I'm Alex White. We're re going to be working together.
PETER: How do you do. I 've been looking forward to meeting you, mr. White.

He used the sentence "cocould you introduce me to sb .? This is very polite. In addition, you can also say:

1. I haven't met your managing director yet. (I haven't seen your president yet .)
2. I don't know anyone here. You'll have to introduce me.
(I don't know anyone here. You must give me an introduction .)

If the opposite is true, you need to introduce someone to others. The following sentence can help you:

1. Let me introduce you to our managing ctor. (Please let me introduce you to our President .);
2. I'll introduce you to our managing ctor, this is Mr. Johnson, our MD.
(I will introduce you to our President. This is Mr. John Johnson, our President .)

Finally, do you know which sentence is essential when you first meet? By the way, yes:
Nice to meet you. (Nice to meet you .) Remember to say this every time you give your name to the other party.

To enhance the impression of the other party, you can add your praise to the other Party:
I 've heard a lot about you ). Of course.
Gglad to meet you. Or Pleased to meet you. To replace nice to meet you.

A proper introduction and greeting will make a good impression on the other party, but you can't be confused.
Commonly used farewell words include:
1. It was very nice to have met you.
2. It was nice meeting you.
3. Hope to see you again.

Well, the first lesson, everything is going well. Everything goes smoothly. You learned how to introduce yourself, introduce others, and greet each other for the first time. But remember to do exercises well! See you tomorrow.
