hi i'm vanessa from speak english with

vanessa calm and today i have a very

special guest my husband Daniel hello or

do you want to go by Dan you can call me

Dan all right Dan

so today dan and I are going to be

talking about some greetings and some

things that you can do when you greet

people let's get started

dan I have a question for you when you

greet someone what do you usually do

well that definitely depends on the

situation and the person okay

so if I meet somebody new usually it's a

handshake like this nice to meet you

nice to meet you okay so that would be

when I first meet somebody now if it's a

family member like maybe my father my

mother my brother and my sister

I'll always hug them we're gonna

demonstrate that to her oh hey nice to

see you nice to see you too this kind of

thing right so but sometimes if they are

just a just not a great friend but a

pretty good friend or an acquaintance

like my co-workers I'll usually just say

hey what's up or hello and wave not

always a wave but usually just some kind

of introduction like hello and then how

are you so you always or you'll never

hug your co-worker is yeah I'll never

hug my coworker and you'll never really

shake hands with them after the first

time you meet them mm-hmm sure so

there's a possibility you could shake

hands with people or hug them or wave

and each situation is a little different

I know for example in a job interview in

the u.s. most people recommend going

into the interview and shaking the

boss's hand really assertively like you

are the leader yes hi nice to meet you

thank you for this job interview and I

know in a lot of countries especially

Asian countries that's seen as too

aggressive or too assertive but in the

u.s. shaking hands is

sign of your strength yeah you're

powerful you wanna you want to seem a

little more assertive in America I think

sure even to your boss and I think with

hugging though sometimes it's a little

bit awkward or unknown I know one time

we had a conversation with one of our

friends and she shared some really

valuable and personal information with

us she was having a hard day and just

talked to us about her day and then at

the end of the conversation we just said

okay bye see you later and we talked

about it like little awkward yeah should

we have given her a hug

and it's not always straightforward

should you give a hug should you not

give a hug yeah but I felt like in that

situation maybe I should have given her

yeah there seems to be a little gray

area with friends you know like

especially when it's a new friend and

maybe you're becoming a better friend

you know when do you hug that person how

do you know sure sure it's unspoken

thanks for watching this conversation

video in the second part of this video

I'm going to explain some of the

expressions that we used in the video so

that you can use them and feel

comfortable with natural English I'll

see you in part 2 good bye hi welcome to

the expression section of this video now

I'm going to describe two expressions

that Dan and I used in our conversation

about greetings the first expression is

the word acquaintances acquaintances and

acquaintances is someone who you've only

met once or twice but you're not really

close friends with yet so you could say

I have an acquaintance who is a pilot I

have an acquaintance who's a pilot

you're not good friends with him he's

just an acquaintance maybe you met him

once or twice or you could say is he

your friend

no he's just an acquaintance he's not

really a close friend

he's just an acquaintance the second

word is the word assertive assertive

now the word assertive means strong bold

confident you could say to be the boss

of a company you have to be assertive or

if you want to say your opinion at a

meeting or in a group of friends you

need to be assertive

you need to be bold and strong you need

to say your opinion and be assertive if

嗨，我是 vanessa，我和 vanessa 平静地说英语

，今天我有一位非常

特别的客人，我的丈夫丹尼尔你好，或者

你想叫丹，你可以叫我

丹，好吧，丹，

所以今天丹和我要

谈论 一些问候和一些

你在打招呼时可以做的

事情让我们开始

吧，当你打招呼时我有一个问题要

问你你通常做什么

好这绝对取决于

情况和那个人还可以

所以如果我经常遇到新人

像这样的握手 很高兴认识你

很高兴认识你 好吧 那

就是我第一次见到某人的时候 如果这是一个

家庭成员 就像我的父亲 我的

母亲 我的兄弟和我的姐姐

我会永远拥抱他们 我们会

向她展示 哦 嘿

很高兴见到你 只是说

嘿怎么了或你好 和挥手并不

总是挥手，但通常只是

某种介绍，比如你好，然后

你好吗，所以你总是或者你永远不会

拥抱你的同事是的，我永远不会

拥抱我的同事，你永远不会真正

握手 在你第一次见到他们之后就和他们在一起，

嗯，当然，所以

你有可能

与人握手或拥抱他们或挥手

，每种情况都有所不同，

我知道例如在美国的工作面试

中 大多数人建议

参加面试并

真正自信地握住老板的手，

就像你是领导者一样

但在美国

握手是你力量的标志

与我们的一位朋友进行了交谈

，她与我们分享了一些非常

有价值的个人信息

我们

谈论这件事有点尴尬是的，

我们应该给她一个拥抱

，

如果你不给一个拥抱，你应该给一个拥抱并不总是那么简单，

是的，但我觉得在那种

情况下也许我应该给她

是的，似乎有

与你认识的朋友在一起的一个灰色地带，

尤其是当它是一个新朋友时，

也许你正在成为一个更好的朋友

你知道你什么时候拥抱那个人

你怎么知道确定这是不言而喻的

感谢收看 这个对话

视频在这个视频的第二部分

我将

解释我们在视频中使用的一些表达方式，

这样你就可以使用它们并且

对自然英语感到舒服我会

在第 2 部分见到你再见你好欢迎

在这个视频的表达部分，现在

我将描述

Dan 和我在关于问候的对话中使用的两个表达方式，

第一个表达方式

是 acquaintances acquaintances 和

acquaintances 是你只见

过一次或两次但你的人' 还不是很

亲密的朋友 所以你可以说

我有一个熟人是飞行员 我

有一个熟人是飞行员

你和他不是好朋友 他

只是一个熟人 也许你见过他

一两次或者你可以说是 他

你的朋友

不 他只是一个熟人 他不是

真正的亲密朋友

他只是一个熟人 第二个

词是自信 自信

这个词 现在自信这个词意味着坚强 大胆

自信 你可以说是 b

一家公司的 oss 你必须自信，或者

如果你想在会议或一群朋友中表达你的意见，

你

需要自信
