Saying Hello and Goodbye
Many people begin and end conversations by saying hello and goodbye to each
other. Doing so is considered good manners in many parts of the English-
speaking world, and it's also a simple way to express friendly interest in
whoever you're chatting with.

A simple greeting followed by asking about the other person is all that is
needed to begin an introduction. In this brief scenario, two people have just
met:

Jane: Hello, Peter. How are you?
Peter: Fine, thanks. How are you?
Jane: I'm fine, thank you.
Once you're finished speaking with someone, it's customary to say goodbye as
you both part, as in this example:
Peter: Goodbye, Jane. See you tomorrow!
Jane: Bye bye, Peter. Have a nice evening.
Peter: Thanks, you too!
