Homework3-Answer the following questions

Q1:How do you greet people in your life?
A1:Just say "hello" to them.

Q2:Is it different for different people? How so and why?
A2: I think it differs. When back in old days, people in our country always greet people with a sentence like "Have you eaten?" while people, especially in western countries just say "hello" or "how do you do?". It may trace back to the different culture. We attach great importance to the food, so that's why we greet people with something related to the food.

Q3:Do you touch people when you talk to them? Why? Or Why not?
A3:I think it depends. When talking to strangers, I will keep a certain distance. Maybe this is for safety reason. But when interacting with my friends, sometimes I will touch them to show the intimacy between us, which draws us close.
