Shaking Hands

	When meeting someone formally for the first time, we shake their hand and say “How do you do?” or “Pleased to meet you.”“How do you do?” isn’t really a question, it just means “Hello”.
	When young people meet informally they sometimes say “Give me five!” and slap their hands together (high five).
	Generally we do not shake hands with people we know well.

Naturally speaking

You say hello, and I say goodbye!

Follow the dialogue.

Mr Bean meets Mrs Breuer, one of his students, and her husband in the street.

Mr Bean:	Good morning, Mrs Breuer.
Mrs Breuer:	Good morning, Mr Bean. How are you?
Mr Bean:	I’m fine thanks, and you?
Mrs Breuer:	Not too bad. Mr Bean, this is my husband Michael, Michael this is Mr Bean my English teacher.
Mr Breuer:	Pleased to meet you.
Mr Bean:	Pleased to meet you too. Are you from Germany, Mr Breuer?
Mr Breuer:	Yes, East Germany, from Dresden. And you, are you from London?
Mr Bean:	No, I’m from Derby, but I live in London now.
Mrs Breuer:	Well, goodbye Mr Bean, it was nice to see you.
Mr Bean:	Yes, goodbye.

CALL

 Multimedia computing, the Internet, and the World Wide Web have provided an incredible boost to Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) applications. Once relegated to “novelty” status, CALL is finally achieving the recognition it deserves thanks in large part to these developing technologies.

Desktop computers are now able to play natural human speech together with full-screen interactive video, an impossibility just a few years ago. Users can now communicate and interact with one another in real-time. Such virtual chats provide solid opportunities for authentic language use among native and non-native speakers on an unprecedented scale in terms of the numbers of users and the geographical distances involved. The sudden proliferation of CD-ROMs offering language instruction is no surprise either.
