B. English Greeting Expressions

There are many ways of greeting people, both formal and informal. The
speaker’s task is to choose the appropriate one for the situation. It is also
useful to know lots of different ones so as to not repeat yourself when
you meet a number of people at the same time. As with any other aspect,
you need to be careful about using informal expressions with people who
you do not know well or whose rank or status is higher than yours.
