Gigi meets Pamela, her old friend in elementary school. In this case, she uses an informal
greeting because Pamela is her close friend.

Gigi : Hi, Pamela. How are you doing?

Pamela ; The same as usual. How about you?

Gigi : I'm pretty busy at school these days, but everything is great,

Pamela : Do you want to hang out with me?

Gigi : That sounds good. But sorry, I have to go to office now. Bye. See you.

B. Leave Taking

Leave taking is usually used if we part with someone we know. It is also divided into formal and
informal form.
