DIY (Do It Yourself)

1. Here is some information about the most common ways of addressing in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Read it and try to memorize.

ADDRESSING, GREETING, RESPONDING

There are several ways of addressing people in English. The most universal ones can be used when speaking to strangers as well as to people you know:

Mr. to a man, Mr. Brown;

Mrs. to a married woman, Mrs. Brown;

Miss to unmarried woman, Miss Brown;

Ms. to a woman whose marital status is unknown (mostly used in the written form, Ms. Brown).

Mr., Miss, etc. are never used without the persons last name.

Sir isused to a man who is clearly older than you are.

Sir is also used:

by shop assistance, waiters, etc., to their male customers (Madam to female customers);

by students to men-teachers;

sometimes as a polite form of addressing to a stranger, even if not older or more senior.

But nowadays in Britain the usual way of addressing a stranger (either a man or a woman) is Excuse me, please.

Dr. to people who have a science degree: PhD, ScD, doctor Brown (last name is necessary). If a doctor has a medical practice, i.e. who cures people, he/she is addressed by the title only, Doctor (without last name).

Officer addressing a policeman.

Waiter / Waitress / Porter / Nurse addressing people in certain occupation.

In fact people in the English-speaking countries prefer calling each other by the first name: Peter, Ann, etc.

If you want to introduce yourself, remember: the first name, last name: I am Natasha Ivanova. And they will address you Natasha. If you say I am Ivanova Natasha you will be addressed Ivanova.

2. Use the information from the text above and identify the type of situation

(formal, neutral, informal) and introduce:

a close friend/to your mother

a classmate/to your English teacher

your teacher/to your parents

yourself/to your classmate

one guest at your party/to another

Sometimes you feel shy or uncomfortable around someone you do not know very well. The reason you feel this way is that you do not know how the other person will react, but dont let it get you down. You need to break the ice, that means to say or do something to stop feeling awkward. Thats why its necessary to improve your conversation skills. A polite conversation about unimportant or uncontroversial matters, especially as engaged in on social occasions is called small talk. People usually make small talk about topics of general interest, such as the weather, local events, etc. These topics can be discussed easily without knowing the other person well. They are very good conversation starters.So there are some tips:

DO

ask questions Try FORE ask about F amily, O ccupation, R ecreation, E ducation. (E.g. Whats your major at the university? What do you want to do after you graduate? Have you got any siblings?)

listen Listen to what people tell you and show you are interested.

(E.g. Really? How can it be? Oh, well. Its very interesting indeed.)

talk about technologies Almost half of conversations nowadays are about computers. (E.g. Yesterday I read about a very interesting gadget. Its .)

read film reviews Read reviews so you know what people are talking about and have something to say. (E.g. What do you think of Julia Roberts in Notting Hill? Isnt she very talented? Do you like romantic comedies?)

 

DONT

talk about dangerous topics Make sure you know who you are talking to before talking about religion or politics or sexual subjects.

Interrupt Dont interrupt an interesting conversation to ask about the weather.

talk about a persons age, weight, how much money you have or make.
