Sociability

[Alan]

Hi,

How sociable are you? Do you find it difficult to 'make' conversation with a total stranger once you have been introduced?

Hi, Alan.
I listened audio file "Greeting expression or "Well,hello!" just now. Perfect speach, interesting topic, but as for me it's very fast like a stream of sounds on one breash even without taking a breath during the speach. I can understood only some separates words.
Reading this text is more simple, so I read it and can answer your question "How sociable are you?". I am sociable and more over talkative woman, so it's easy for me to make conversation with a total stranger.
Thank you. Best regards.
Svitlana.

hi there
I listened to the audio and deceded that i have to improve my speaking up to hers. as above said she didnt even take a breath and had no emotions in her speech. so I think it makes her speech less exciting. but the context is awesome! thank you for the audio. i have a lot from it.
best regards,

Hello Alen,
Good Morning, I listened an audio file " Well, Hello " just now. It's really good & interesting topic, but ur speech is very fast & non-stopping. Plz follow punctuation marks & take a breath during the speech so I can ollow u. I can't follow u as I have to do both functions read & hear together. But it's okay I'll hear this topic again & again & at last I'll be able to understand ur speach. I'm sociable & taking part in discussion only when the topic is of my interest otherwise I'm a good listener.
Thank you & best regards.

[Question]

Greeetings,
One of my colleagues is using "Greetings" as the first word in his e-mail. Is this an old style expression, or an extreme? We are in US.
Thanks,
Michael

Hi,

I rather like the idea of opening an email with the word 'Greetings'. It's certainly more interesting than the rather pathetic 'Hi' that I and millions of others use. I suppose it could be described as 'old style' but on the other hand, why not?
