People often greet each other with "Hello" or "Hi". Other
forms of greeting are "Good morning", "Good afternoon", or
"Good evening"
according to different times of the day. When meeting
foreign friends for the first time, we do not ask them questions about their
private life. So we may talk about the
weather, sports or show our
concern
about their children. 
 
In introductions, we
usually introduce a man to a woman, and the young to the
old. The
titles of Miss, Mrs., Mr.,
Professor, or Doctor, etc. can be used with
the
surname. Newly introduced people will
shake hands and greet each other with
"How do you do?" or "I'm glad to meet you."
