The most popular dialogue in English is the meeting dialogue. After all, it is then that a dialogue occurs when we meet a person we know. Often, it is with such a dialogue that learning English begins.

We have already studied. Now let's look at a full-fledged dialogue during a meeting.

As a rule, a dialogue at a meeting begins with the words Hello or Hi. However, remember that the word Hi, which translates as “hello,” is more informal, meaning it’s a better way to greet a friend or acquaintance. It is better to speak to a stranger or a person you barely know Hello, which translates as “hello.”

After greeting, the rule of polite tone is to ask how the interlocutor is doing.

How are you? How are you?
The short form is also used: How’re you?
How are you doing? How are you doing? How are you doing?

Hi! How're you? Hello! How are you?

- I’m also good. Thank you. Also good. Thank you.

Hi! How are you doing? Hello! How are you?
- Good, thank you. Yourself? Very good thanks. How are you?
- Very well, thanks. Very good thanks.

How's your father? How is your father doing?
How's your mother? How is your mother?
How's your husband? How is your husband doing?
How's your wife? How is your wife doing?
How are your kids? How are your children?
How's Oleg? How is Oleg doing?
How's Maxim? How is Maxim doing?

- She's good. Fine.
- How’s your job? How's your work?
- It's good. Thanks for asking. Fine. Thanks for asking.

Very often during a meeting the question “What’s new?” is heard in dialogue. This is a way to continue the dialogue.

What's new? What's new? What's new?
What's up? What's happening?

Hi, Olga! What's up? Hi Olga! How are you?
- I just got a new job! I just found a new job!
- Really? That's great! Good luck with your new job! Is it true? Great! Good luck with your new job!

Useful dialogues:

The Tsar-Transformer appears before us at the moment when he makes the most important decision for all subsequent Russian history: “Here the city will be founded...”. The author contrasts the monumental figure of the king with the image of harsh and wild nature. The picture against the backdrop of which the figure of the king appears before us is bleak (a lonely boat, mossy and marshy banks, wretched huts of the “Chukhons”). Before Peter’s gaze is a wide-spread river rushing into the distance; There is a forest around, “unknown to the rays of the hidden sun in the fog.” But the ruler's gaze is directed to the future. Russia must establish itself on the shores of the Baltic, this is not

The work of Andrei Platonov, a writer who was erased from the history of Russian literature for many years, is still very difficult to perceive. His concept of the world is unusual, his language is complex. Anyone who opens his books for the first time is immediately forced to abandon the usual reading fluency: the eye is ready to glide over the familiar outlines of words, but at the same time the mind refuses to keep up with the expressed thought. Some force delays the reader’s perception of every word, every combination of words. And here is not the secret of mastery, but the mystery of man, the solution of which, according to F. M. Dostoevsky, is the only

The introduction to the planned but not realized poem about the first five-year plan, entitled “At the top of my voice,” became the last major poetic work of Vladimir Mayakovsky. Although, according to the author's plan, it was supposed to become part of a larger poem. “At the top of my voice” is perceived as a completely completed independent poem, with many interesting and deeply poetic thoughts about the meaning of life, the purpose of the poet and his place in the revolutionary era. Mayakovsky here speaks to his descendants through the heads of his contemporaries, speaks “about time and about himself.” He gives an account of his poetic work

Nekrasov's poetic world is surprisingly rich and varied. The talent that nature generously endowed him with and his extraordinary hard work helped the poet create such polyphonic and melodious lyrics. One of the main themes of Nekrasov’s lyrics is the people and the idea of ​​public service. These motives became the main purifying force for the poet, a source of moral renewal, and spiritual support. In 1845, his poem “On the Road” became a real shock for Russian poetry. Nekrasov made the peasant the main character of the lyrical work, depicting him as a person with an individual destiny. What

Nuclear EnergyModern energy sources are great, but they do not last forever. Coal, oil and natural gas reserves are inevitably declining, and the question of new energy sources naturally arises. Such a source has been found: our time can be called the century of atomic energy. The study of the internal structure of matter, the study of the atom and the structure of its nucleus, the study of radioactive processes occurring in natural substances led scientists to the discovery of atomic energy. The remarkable French physicist Frederic Joliot-Curie in 1939 was the first to experimentally prove that energy is released when uranium nuclei fission. About ko

True friends are life companions. You may not see them for a long time, for various reasons, or not talk on the phone for weeks, but in your memory you will always remember those whom you can rely on and trust, with whom you can cry and laugh. Fate sometimes “scatters” people to remote corners of the globe and presents its own surprises: a classmate married an American, but a boy with whom he once played football married an Australian. Although friends are not only friends from kindergarten, school or college. When traveling, you meet such positive and congenial people with whom you want to continue to be in contact.
