November 21, 2016 was the 44th World Hello Day. It started on November 21, 1973. Taking part in(參加) this day couldn’t be easier. All you have to do is to greet(問候) 10 people. Do you know how people in different countries greet each other?

We Chinese usually say “nihao” when we meet someone. At school, we learn some ways to say hello in English. They are “How do you do?” and “How are you?” However, people from English-speaking countries seldom(很少) use them as greetings when they meet friends. Let’s have a look at some popular ones.

UK: “You all right?” “Yea, you?” “I’m good.” This is a usual conversation(交談) among British friends. Girls like saying nice words when meeting each other, such as “Hey, lovely.” Sometimes, people also say “How’s it going?” But it’s not a question. You can say it when you meet someone.

US: Americans say, “What’s up?” or “What’s good?” And people usually answer with “Not much.” or “Nothing.” Children often say, “Sup?” A popular greeting is “Hey, man.” But it is only among boys. Girls may say “Hey, girl.”

Australia: If you meet an Australian, you may hear “G’day, mate.” It means “Good day.” But with a strong accent(口音), it sounds like “Good eye, mate.” Saying it!It’s an interesting accent. You can answer by the same way, “G’day.”

A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.
