8. Читання та переклад тексту” Introducing People”

There are some main rules of introduction which are useful to remember: men are introduced to women, young people to older ones, old friends to newcomers, and young girls to married. Usually women are not presented to a man unless he is the Head of State or a member of the Royal family. When introducing one says something like: “Mrs. Johnson, may I introduce Mr. Blake?” and then turning to Mrs. Johnson simply says “Mrs. Johnson”. That is all that’s necessary, but one can say a bit of information which will help the introduced people to start the conversation. The usual response to the introduction is “How do you do?” which is a kind of greetings and not a question, and the best answer to it is “How do you do?” Sometimes one may say less formally “I am glad to meet you”, “Happy to have met you” or just “Hello”.

It is very good to add the name of the person introduced – “I am very glad to meet you, Mr. Sparks”. If you do not remember the name it is enough simply to ask “What was your name, please?” or “Could you repeat your name?” Men may stand when introduced, ladies may remain seated.

British and American people usually shake hands especially when formally introduced but they do not always shake hands with people they see often. When an Englishman passes a friend in the street he only touches his hat. Usually they smile and say: “Good morning”, “Good afternoon”, “Good evening”, “Hello”, or “Hi”.

When two businessmen meet, they usually shake hands.
