Passage B Cultural Differences in Greeting
People We can find some cultural and
social differences when we hear how people
introduce themselves to each other. We should pay
attention to these differences. Generally
speaking, English people are a little formal.
They usually shake hands and say How do you do
when they meet for the first time. American
people are somewhat casual. They may start a
conversation without being introduced.

• A Chinese name is hard to pronounce for many
  foreigners. So you should make it as simple as
  possible in the introduction. Probably, they will
  feel pleased to pronounce your name correctly.
  The form of address does not matter very much to
  Americans. You may address an American as Mr.
  Johnson or Tom. However, youd better address
  an elderly person by his or her title.
