In English—speaking countries, there are some
formal greetings, such as “How are you ” and
“How have you been ”. There are also some
informal ways of greeting. For instance, people
often greet others that they know well with
“Hi!”, “hello”, “Hi there”, or “What’s up ”.
While in China, people tend to say ,
“Have you had your breakfast/lunch/supper ”
or “Where are you going ”
People in different countries greet
each other in different ways. Why

towards different people. For
example, their superiors and
their peers

by saying “Thank you”.
